Is this character genre “Mogose genre”?

In recent years, manga and anime content featuring “pity and cute” characters have become very popular. When we asked AI if there was a generic name for this genre, it replied, “MOGOSE , I think.
Since the word was completely unfamiliar to me, I looked it up and found the following post on 2022 X (formerly Twitter), and found that the Fukushima dialect word “mogose” has a meaning that sounds like it.
Although it is not yet a well-established word, the term “MOGOSE genre” may possibly be in vogue in 2025 and beyond, as it can become popular from a dialect.
Since this animation is from such a MOGOSE genre, I feel that it has the potential to become a fad!

ちいかわもそうだと思うのだけど、モルカーも、ポチタも、もしかしたらスレッタも、みんな「かわいそうでかわいい」のカテゴリに入るのだと思いますが、福島弁にはこの概念を一言で表す「もごせ」という言葉があるそうです。「時代はもごせ」だと私の妻が言っています。
