It's not irrelevant, you don't know how these people argue. It's never JUST their word, its twisting things and interpreting things how they wish. It's one thing to just SAY "Marisa is gay and Alice and Patchouli are gay for her", it's another to have some "proof"--even if this image is literally not canon, you can bet someone will mention how ZUN approved this, neglecting that ZUN approves of nearly all fanworks in existence. The more data that exists to the contrary, the less they have to stand on and the less they boast. Evidence of this? Again: raw reality. While there are people who insist on this or that to the death, at this point enough canon or canon-adherent stuff has come out that they can't really argue anything anymore--at least not well. The lies and wants become exposed. What good is THAT? The good is there will be less of these people. Most people see logic. When you tell them that Reimu, Marisa, and Kosuzu are all explicitly interested in straight romance, when you remind them that Toyohime and Yorihime are married, when you mention how Junko and Suwako have fucked men, they can't actually argue against it and instead usually fall back to ridiculous arguments. And, looking ridiculous is good, because then there are less shitty fans in the fanbase altogether, and your experience will be better.

If you just let it go unabated and think that "anything that represents the franchise well won't help" well fuck you doomposter, it's been helping for decades. When you have a better overall impression of Touhou, you get better people into Touhou, and you get better fanworks. There's a reason "Team 9" hasn't existed since... what? 2011? I don't know
