The actual afterlife in Touhou seems to be doing much better than Gensokyo does, though. They have more genuine conflicts, much more purpose, and aren't threatened by the Outside World.
Touhou has always had undertones of people not really having a place any more, such as Rumia just floating around without purpose, Wriggle being weak as shit and not knowing anything about the history of her own kind, or groups like the Tengu just haphazardly imitating the outside without any real understanding or goal. Many of the youkai are just kinda living their lives like retirees waiting for death, and it's only relative newcomers like Kanako who are more proactive.
Much of Gensokyo is also just literally playing pretend. Youkai pretend to scare humans but they're not *really* dangerous, and then the miko comes to face them in a play fight and then they drink cheap sake together. It's all fake by design, not at all representative of how youkai once were, and the entire world could be considered hollow and just the last gasps of a world that once was but can no longer be.

Neither, and this dichotomy is retarded.
Yuuka isn't some angry gorilla, nor is she secretly kind; rather, she's a *bother*.
An annoyance, a nuisance, a hindrance, a pain in the ass... Yuuka is all those things.
Sure, she could steep to violence, but where's the fun in that? She just wants to be remembered as someone people dread dealing with, a black mark on their souls that they can never shake off. Just a bit of misery brought into their lives.
Her sheer dedication to being a youkai, an enemy of mankind, even in these days where youkai-human relations have completely changed is what makes her youkai moe. No matter what happens, what makes her happy will always simply be ruining someone's day just for the sake of it.
She's basically just a much bigger and much cleverer fairy, whimsical and playful as she plays pranks all day and smiles as someone ends up slightly more miserable due to her actions.

Stop shitposting Yukari, a little self-deprication isn't going to hide your signature brand of sabotage against the superior Yukarin.
