Youkai aren't youkai if they don't attack people at some point, or at least this is what Akyu writes in her chronicles, it's what the human population believes and is mostly true.

Youkai in Touhou basically translates to pretty much any monster and is pretty all encompassing in the setting. They do distinguish between different types, but ultimately they still count fairies in there with vampires in a very broad sense.

It was at the very least acknowledged in the spell card rules that youkai need to be able to cause trouble or else they will have problems. Exactly what these are isn't clear, but it's one of the provisions of the spell card rules that it's easy for youkai to start incidents, but easy for humans to end them in a mostly fair fight of beautiful magic duels. It allows even the weakest of fighters to have a chance of defeating the strongest, which is why it's perfectly feasible for Cirno's route in PoFV to have happened. It's also why power levels are completely bullshit, they don't matter, no one really uses their powers to their full effect.

If you guys hate her so much I have no more rivals to be her waifu
