>This is inconsistent with (...) canon
Imagine if all touhou doujins followed canon. No artists would put in their own creative input, just following what was already written down by ZUN, a person that likes to rely on unreliable narrators when expanding his setting, all so that he himself can avoid being consistent and nailed down to one interpretation.
I think it's going to be boring. Most of my favourite doujin works either broke the canon (in zounose's When You Wish Upon a STAR Marisa's mother is dead) , or talked about something ZUN has refused to talk about (azmaya's Lost Girl - Lost Lady discusses how the protagonists have kept their youth).
As long as they did it in a clever way, I think it's okay to subvert canon every once in a while. Otherwise we would just have hundreds of doujins retelling the plot of EoSD... Besides, don't you think that interpretation of Banki was clever?
