Because she's always "Shou! Shou!" to anyone who comes close.

Too handsome to handle

Her art is too harsh because of her design

>>12806202
Are you implying that Shou isn't elegant or beautiful?

Shou is cool AND sexy

>>12806241
There is just too much contrast. It's the artists' fault as much as anything. But on the other end take someone like Futo, who is soft in every picture.

She's not that cute or interesting, I find.

>>12807277
>She's not that cute

These are objectively untrue words.

>>12807277
Because she's supposed to be manly

>>12807589
But Shou can be feminine too!

She's not even that masculine in the first place. She's just elegant.

I like masculine Shou too

>>12809982
As an avatar, she tries to give the image of Bishamonten, which is a male god.

Of course she'd look masculine.

>>12807589
No, that's what fanon thinks.

Real manly.

>>12806174
Am I gay now?

>>12809987
ugh what the fuck is that

>>12810053
I want to bully shou by breaking her little pagoda lantern!

>>12810045
Nah, in fanon she's usually depicted as clumsy girl who depends on Nazrin a lot or busty clumsy onee-san. Exaggerating the fact that she lost the pagoda.

You can count with fingers people who depict Shou normally.

Canon Shou:
>She has a gentle personality, and maintains an air of composure and dignity. However, when among friends she sometimes shows more emotion, even rage on occasion.
>The mysterious object she holds in her hands is called Bishamonten's Pagoda (alias: Laser Pagoda), and is a weapon that can reduce anything to ash by shooting light. She gathers precious gems and uses their radiance to fire lasers. If she fires a high energy laser at the ground, more gems are created(*1). The light of treasures brings forth new treasures(*2), this is why she is called one of the Seven Deities of Fortune.
>As a treasure youkai, she isn't very skilled at martial arts. 80% of her strength comes from the Laser Pagoda.
>Shou also wields a long spear, but it is for decorative purposes. It is primarily intended to lend her an air of majesty and she uses it as a walking stick.

Shou is the avatar of Bishamonten when he is a Lucky god, not the badass War god he was.

inb4 muh Akyuu lie, can't have smoke without fire

I fucking love Shou.

>>12810113
Seems pretty useless to me!

>>12810113
She doesn't have to be badass, but she's certainly not bullying material or moeblob like how she's commonly treated.

>>12810132
Anyone isn't badass or willingly to do violent to stand up for themselves get bullied in Touhou.

Reisen, Youmu, Kogasa... you name it.

She's the avatar of the Fortune version of Bishamonten. I wonder if dicking her gives a lot of fortune.

>>12810132
See, your problem is that you're thinking too much.

Much of both the western and Japanese fandom wants to reduce every 2hu to a single meme-filled "HURR X" joke. So Shou ends up being "HURR LOSES EVERYTHING" and "HURR INCOMPETENT".

Moeblob Shou is cute though. She's one of the most versatile 2hus, she can be cute OR sexy.

>>12810137
>>12810132
She's not really bullied... At least nowhere near the amount of those three you listed. I'd just call her ignored.

It's only fitting that a youkai of one of the most badass big cats would be so drop-dead sexy.

>>12810162
Regardless of what the fans think, the actual literature does show that Shou is incompetent, and not even the way of Reisen's nudge nudge wink wink "she's very competent but played out to be the butt of joke" kind of incompetent.

I mean, the only thing she's good at is spamming the laser pagoda, and she somehow lost that.

>>12810171
Also, is a treasure youkai losing a treasure some kind of ironic joke?

>>12810167
Ignoring someone is a form of bullying.

>>12810199
That's new.

>>12810202
You would have to be really behind to think it's new. The concept has been around for centuries. I've driven hundreds to insanity. DOZENS!

>>12810234
I think it's a right to NOT talk to some niggers.

>>12810248
It's still bullying. Your right to bully. But are you right to bully? That is the question.

>>12810251
Right and wrong doesn't matter.

What matter is if you get caught, or not.

>>12810248
/pol/, just 'cause Moot shat all over your board doesn't mean you have to shit all over ours.

>>12810260
I'm a /jp/sie, but I don't have to doesn't mean I can't.

That's the /jp/sie creed.

>>12810260
Nigger has been used long before /new/ and /pol/ came into being.

>>12806071
Come to think of it, I haven't seen much of her, I don't even think I gave her a second thought.

Not really fair, though, since she's a tiger and an avatar of Bishamonten, which is pretty gangster.

>>12807589

Marisa leans towards masculine, too, and so does Youmu, when you think about it, and they're pretty popular (Marisa to the greater extent, though, and near as I can tell by a fair bit), her being on the masculine side, if that were in fact true beyond her character design, shouldn't be that big of a deal.

>>12810513
Wow! How did he walk around with all that on? It must have been very restrictive and heavy.

shou ga nai wa ne

>>12810513
Not gangster at all since it's the Luck God Bishamonten and not the War god Bishamonten.

Though I guess it could still be gangster in counterfeiting money.

>>12806071
Shou ga nai.

She has the same as all DDC characters that aren't Shinmyoumaru and Seija. There's no material where you can see Shou be Shou.

>>12811305
*She have the same problem

>>12806071

>>12811305
Benben and Yatsuhashi have yet to get any fandom treatment at all seeing how even their fanart is still lacking.

Wackysaky, Sekibanki and Kagerou are pretty popular.
I don't know if their fandom treatment are accurate. At least these three being together is somewhat canon, unlike most crack groupies and pairings.

>>12806071
>Been trying hard Shou?
>Too bad you can't get a game huh?
>Shou a shit

Are you quoting the flipping Oni?

>>12814602
amanojaku are not oni

This thread shou is slow.

>>12820442

Whats that guys deal with feet. Is he some kind of pervert or what?

>>12820469
We're all perverts, anon.

What matters is what girl are you a pervert for?

I'm a pervert for Shou!

>>12820523
>only a pervert for one girl
Step up your game Anon

SHOOU GA NAI NEEE

How could you people let Shou's thread get this far down?

Is the avatar of Bishamonten allowed to have a husband? Or even a bf?

>>12830916
She can be your husband

>>12824064
2spook

>>12831320
As long as Shou and me fug like tigers she can be top or bottom!

>>12806071
But I've appreciated her a lot this week

Is this what Shou needs to do to become popular?
