No the humans wouldn't let youkai openly live in the village.

I haven't seen any issue the humans had with Keine or Rinnosuke

Since there are at least two halfbreeds, I assume there isn't much of an issue.

>>20299363
Weren't People racist towards Rinnosuke, and is the main reason why he set his shop outside of the village?

>>20299348
Tengus and Kappas are the only Youkai with a society. How would they react if one if their own chose to marry a Human?

>>20299348
>So how are Human-Youkai Marriage viewed by both sides?
By humans, as something degenerate and wrong. By Youkai, as playing with your food.

>Would the Human Village allow the couple to reside inside the village?
No.

>Would Reimu even allow such a relationship to happen?
I doubt she would give enough of a fuck one way or another.

>Or how would the Sages react to such things?
Probably not much. Unless this becomes common enough that Half Human/Youkai children might disrupt the balance of Gensokyo.

>>20299363
>I haven't seen any issue the humans had with Keine or Rinnosuke
Weren't people freaked out with Rinnosuke? And do people know if Keine is half human

>>20299348
it would be viewed negatively, but the actual consequences would not be substantial. The human village would very likely kick you out and whatever societal group your wife came from would likely no longer accept her either.
Rinnosuke still has friends though so it wont be that bad. Reimu isnt going to stop you unless this some how is part of an incident but that probably wont happen. Same with the Sages.

>>20300736
You do realize that "The Human Villagers kick you out" is basically the Gensokyo equivalent of "Being thrown at the wolfs". Like, once you cease being a villager you might as well kiss your ass goodbye. As every Youkai is going to be gunning for you, looking for a neat snack.

Best case scenario, you spend the rest of life being protected by your wife while living in a home in the wilderness. And one mistake, and you're dead.

>>20299577
I don't think the Kappa would mind one if them marrying a human if there was another factor (money, business etc) involved

>>20301604
You'd probably want to put a fuck ton of forethought into the matter anyway so you're not having to rely on your 2hu white knighting you all the time, like having a safety net that'll quickly revive or reincarnate you as a non-human if shit goes south or blueballing yourself on the Magician process until you're in the clear to apply all the spells that'll convert you fully, but the latter's debatable since even if you are a human who gave up their internal humanity to go live with what should be his predator, it still might be a full offense to shed your outer humanity which'll lead to getting Crimson Slashed.

>>20302043
Trying to get yourself reincarnated or revived when you die is not really a option. It would be ridiculously hard even if it didn't carry the death penalty. Becoming a magician meanwhile is borderline impossible without a good teacher or a whole lot of stolen magical books. All in all, unless the Youkai you're dating is a skilled magician you can probably just forget about the whole thing.

I doubt living with a Youkai would automatically put you on Yukari and Reimu's depopulation list though. Not all Youkai are predators, after all. While it might be weird, if not downright inhuman, behavior to hook up with somebody like Rumia or Mystia. Fucking a Kitsune is about as human as it gets, it's kind of what they do after all.

Just go to Eirin and get a pill that makes you smell and taste bad.

>>20299373
no that was because he is flaming homosexual

Beautiful human girl from the village.

>>20302621
Yes. Such a fine neck having girl. Like, don't you just hate it when you date a girl only to discover she has no neck. Just the absolute worst.

>>20299348
Human youkai marriage are not legal, therefore, are illegal. The purpose of Gensokyo is to keep Youkai alive and pure.

>>20302949
Yes that beautiful human girl has such a perfect neck that she will only reveal it to her husband on their wedding night. She looks forward to becoming a bride! Human pride world wide!

>>20299348
This is a private matter. The Gensokyo government should not interfere in the affair of its citizens

>>20299348
This is a private matter. The Gensokyo government should not interfere in the affair of its citizens. Why shouldn't I get married to the woman of my dreams

>>20299348
I mean how do human/youkai marriage happen?

>>20299348
The only example of a human/youkai hybrid who presumably is a result of a union of the two species, Rinnosuke, is basically an outcast and his parents have never been mentioned.

It's probably not even simply a big no no, it's generally unthinkable. I guess there are the Konpaku, but they're from a technically different world and their nonhuman half isn't exactly youkai either.

>>20299363
Keine wasn't born half-youkai. She's got therianthope disease or whatever

>>20299348
I suppse it would also matter who/what Youkai you've married. I'm sure marrying any of the power players would cause a stir, but marrying someone like Kogasa or Banki might just you being viewed as a pariah.

>>20302605
But then they wouldn't be willing to marry me

I'm pretty sure Byakuren would be willing to host the marriage at the Myouren temple

>>20306009
So no change from your current state then?

>>20306024
R-rude.

>>20306022
What if I wanted to marry some from the myouren temple

>>20299348
I want to marry keine.

>>20303385
A lot of Youkai are very sexual beings though. It seems weird that they wouldn't be follow that nature and breed.

>>20303797
>Gensokyo goverment.
See, that was your first mistake.

>>20304828
Well, you see, when a boy and a Youkai really love each other. The youkai eats the boy, and then calls it marriage.

>>20305772
I doubt marrying a power player would actually cause a stir. You would just be viewed as a plaything she uses to amuse herself for a few decades.

Overall, marrying somebody actually powerful is the better choice. Since at least they have a home for you to move into, and a general guarantee that other Youkai aren't going to fuck with you.

>marriage
Why marriage when mainly carnal desires and lot of dicking are essential here.

>marriage
Why marriage when mainly carnal desires and lot of dicking are essential here.

>>20306597
Marrying Sensei and having beautiful 1/4-youkai children!

>>20306387
What if I wanted to marry someone from the Moriya shrine? Do you think Byakuren would like to act as a priest?

>>20307797
Why the fuck would you want a Buddhist priest when you're about to be married to a literal Shinto goddess? Like, I know the two religions are closely linked in Japan, but I still don't. doubt the actual god you're about to marry probably wants to do it her way.

>>20307676

What if i would fug 2hus so much i turn into youkai of fuging 2hus

>>20299686
>I doubt she would give enough of a fuck one way or another.
Isn't her job to maintain Balance?

>>20310519
One guy sticking his dick in a Youkai is going to fuck up the balance.

>>20310919
technically it would help balance it out. if a full human is born, the balance is shifted in favor of the humans, if a full youkai is born, the balance is shifted in favor of youkai.
therefore marrying and having children with youkai is optimal solution.

>>20311753
>Racemixing with Youkai.
Disgusting

>>20311753
>if a full human is born, the balance is shifted in favor of the humans
That's not how that works. Youkai have this little advantage known as being really fucking old.

>>20299348
Most youkai don’t particularly care about the affairs of other Youkai. They would probably view marriage to a human as a sort of game, so they probably wouldn’t go out of their way to harm the human out of fear of the youkai spouse’s wrath at her toy being destroyed. No, you would not be allowed to reside in the village unless your bride is pic related or can keep her identity secret. Reimu would be annoyed, but if you give her a donation and don’t cause an incident she will let it slide. The Sages as sages would not care, although Yukari may decide to toy with you.
>>20299363
Kiene is a human 96% of the time. She also takes precautions so she won’t harm humans during her transformation.

>>20312238
Isn't pic related pretty much a ghost? They also pretty much all work for Yukari as spies, so I doubt any one of them cares enough about humans to actually bother marrying them.

>>20312269
Proximity breeds affection, and what better way to spy on a particularly volatile human than from his bed?

>>20299373
He set up shop there because he wanted to have both human and youkai customers. It failed spectacularly of course, but the books never mention anything about how exactly was his relationship with the humans in the village before he opened Kourindou.

>>20299348
>So how are Human-Youkai Marriage viewed by both sides?
Humans would consider the human involved to be a race traitor or something and exile them. Obviously an attitude fostered by the "higher-ups", as it were, as they don't want the humans thinking that hey, maybe these youkai fellas aren't so bad after all. That would be very bad.
Youkai are trickier, but I do agree with the others anons here that at least some of them might see it as one of their own just playing a game, or be quite confused by the idea but just shrug it off because it doesn't affect them.
>Would the Human Village allow the couple to reside inside the village?
I supposed it's possible, but I think it's far far more likely that they'll get kicked out.
>Would Reimu even allow such a relationship to happen? Or how would the Sages react to such things?
Unless they raised a massive stink that threatened the balance, I doubt either Reimu or the sages would give two fucks about a human and a youkai boning.

Like, Kourin exists. That alone proves that interspecies fucking and half-breeds aren't a big deal by themselves.

>>20312283
I doubt a particularly volatile human would trust any Youkai, even the "harmless" ones, enough to marry them. And if they are sociopathic enough to marry somebody that's almost certainly going to end up on Yukari's depopulation list, they probably wouldn't make the most convincing wifes.

I would like to marry reimu

>>20313571
I can't blame you. Being the Hakurei Shrine Maiden's husband is about the most privileged position a human can have in Gensokyo outside of being the Hakurei Shrine Maiden. You're essentially untouchable, Youkai would be terrified of even getting near you.

Just a shame you would have to be Reimu's husband. Lie back and think of privilege, I guess.

Do not marry the youkai

If you do, their silly hat wearing rights will be revoked

>>20313796
why not just put the hat back on after you take it off lol

>>20313157
All things considered, youkai aren't much worse than modern women at this point personality wise, if anything they'd be slightly better since they would at least know how to cook and clean, unlike their competition
This is fucking depressing, literal man eating monsters would be better mates than women

>>20313597
>Just a shame you would have to be Reimu's husband.
Fuck you.

>>20313597
Why are they called maidens if they are allowed to marry? Why isn’t it translated as “shrine preiestess”?

>>20314007
What makes you think that any given Touhou Project character (other than the literal maid) would cook and clean for you?

>>20314550
I said they had the ability
Whom they use it for was not part of the statement at all

>>20314550
presumably the one that is my wife in this scenario

>>20299348
>how would the Sages react to such things?
Yukari and Kasen have both shown disdain on both Rinnosuke and Keine, so they would probably not like it at all.

>>20314007
I would still prefer a modern women over serial killers and sociopathic spies. Like, the worst a modern women might do is divorce you and steal all of your money. Youkai can, and will, do considerably worse.

>>20314490
Good question. It was probably just a assumption on the part of early western translators. Since I am pretty sure Shrine Maiden's are allowed to marry.

>>20314410
She would be a terrible wife and you know it.

>>20314550
>Implying thought was involved.

Considering what has been said here, Sanae might be the best choice for a wife.

how can normal humans tell the difference between human and youkai if the youkai can blend in among humans? This also raises the question of how large the village is and how many humans are left in gensokyo

>>20315911
>how can normal humans tell the difference between human and youkai if the youkai can blend in among humans?
They can't. Unless the Youkai is very well known, like Ran, Yuuka, and Remilia.

>This also raises the question of how large the village is and how many humans are left in gensokyo
Going by the manga, pretty freaking big. At the very least, big enough that no single person in the village knows everybody else.

>>20315840
She's alright. Especially if you are a outsider as well, she is probably the best choice. Her family might be a problem though.

>>20315990
Think of it like making a sales pitch to Kanako. The wedding market is quite lucrative and this is something the Moriya Shrine (hasn't?) capitalized on.

What better way is there to enter the wedding market than host your own?


To my mind the following benefits are:
Sanae won't be as lonely as she'll be able to connect with her outsider husband.
Moriya Shrine gains a loyal follower.
New business opportunities (weddings).
With a human around the shrine can be perceived as more human friendly / safe.

>>20299348
But marriages are scam, why do you want be scammed?

>>20315821
Women can do much much worse lad, like taking your kids and filing false domestic abuse reports to nuke your reputation and prevent you from ever seeing your kids as long as you live
My uncle had a bad time

>>20302043
>having to rely on your 2hu white knighting you all the time
But that's great. Imagine being cornered by a bunch of evil youkai in the forest, and just when they're about to eat you, Yuugi shows up, kicks their asses and princess-carries you home.

>>20317109
>My uncle had a bad time
Uncle which Anon?
So that happen with him!?

>>20316219
Kanako isn't the problem, she's pragamatic enough to accept you if you show how it would benefit her. It's Suwako that worries me.

Considering her nature, she would send you on a ridiculously dangerous quest to steal Yukari's pillow before she'll ever allow you to put your dick in her descendant.

>>20317109
>Women can do much much worse
I don't know how that's worse than "Eaten alive" or "Unpersoned by the Youkai secret police".

>>20317133
It's kind of romantic the first few times. But it gets very tiresome after a while. And all it takes is one mistake, and you can say both your marriage and your life goodbye.

>>20315821
A youkai can kill and eat you, a modern woman can kill you, blame it on PMS and get away with just a slap on the wrist.

>>20317305
A youkai is a lot more likely to kill you than a human woman. And being eaten alive is considerably more painful than being killed in your sleep.

>>20317291
>>20317463
They aren't animals
They do have human level intelligence and the capacity for reason
Case and point, the numerous youkai that are friendly to humans and the few hybrids that exist
And Yukari's actions have no bearing on the actions of other individuals

>>20317645
Humans are animals.

>>20317645
Youkai aren't animals, they're even worse. They have the capacity to do good, yet still choose to murder and devour humans pretty much just for fun. To think such a immoral cruel creature would be preferable to a modern liberated woman is nonsense.

>>20317286
I think part of that would be up for Sanae to sell you as well.

>>20317793
>Humans aren't animals, they're even worse. They have the capacity to do good, yet still choose to murder and devour cows pretty much just for fun. To think such a immoral cruel creature would be preferable to a modern liberated bull is nonsense.

>modern liberated woman
It's easier to reason with a hungry youkai than with one of those.

>>20317911
hu u quot

>>20313796
If a youkai gets pregnant, will their kid inherit their hat?

>>20318302
Yes, but if they get impregnated by a human, the kid will be born with a non-silly hat.
That's why youkai should say "no" to race mixing.

If I marry the tsukumogami, will our kid also be a tsukumogami? Will they be considered as a half youkai, even if they don't have any youkai traits?

>>20317911
1: 99% of humans think it's wrong to fuck a cow/bull. 2: We don't eat cows just for fun, it's often a necessity. 3: You can't really compare a cow with a human, the existence of one has a lot more value than the other. 4: Youkai eat cows as well.

>>20317941
Not really. Just don't treat them like property, and usually everything works out fine.

>>20312472
>Like, Kourin exists. That alone proves that interspecies fucking and half-breeds aren't a big deal by themselves.

To Reimu and the sages. Interspecies fucking and half-breeds aren't a big deal by themselves, to Reimu and the sages.

Bitch your face is pretty silly.

Would a youkai human crave eating itself?

>>20299348
This thread did well.

>>20319855
>Ichirin became a youkai just by being BFFs with Unzan for a long time.
True. But that was mostly because Humans started to hate and fear her. If you can avoid that, you should be able to prevent yourself from turning into a Youkai.

>1-3 aren't true
Bestiality is nigh universally viewed as a crime in every culture. And you can't compare something as simple as a cow to the complex nature of a human. One is simply a lot more unique and special than the other.

>>20320192
according to modern cannibals, human allegedly tastes good. not excellent however, terrible meat cuts and a taste comparable to monkey. our diets are terrible for producing meat that tastes good.

the half youkai would likely be aware of its own taste but not pursue it as other meat tastes better and would be much easier to come by

>>20321064
You can't compare something as simple as a human to a youkai. One is simply a lot more unique and special than the other.

>>20322116
Both are about equal when it comes to uniqueness. And even then, that's a more recent development. And regardless, both Human and youkai lives have value and should be treated accordingly.

>>20323062
>youkai lives have value
No, they don't.

I want to marry Flan

>>20323087
Look, i'm about as far as you can get from a Youkai apologist. Somebody like Rumia, Mystia, Yukari, and Yuuka should be put down for the good of the world. And even I think Youkai lives have some value. If a Youkai chooses to overcome their nature, and be a boon to society. Then they should be treated accordingly.

>>20302611
>no that was because he is a flaming homosexual

Weird there are a lot of hot bitches and how come he is a faggot?

Sorry to say, but dont any Youkai would want to marry any of you NEET's.

>>20326015
don't think*

>>20326015
Rumia is a useless lazy NEET too and would get along with someone who would let her nibble on them sometimes.

>>20326015
What if I told Ran she could eat me afterward?

>>20326015
That is some mighty fine projection

>>20326015
I wouldn't be so sure of that. Even Youkai are very interested in knowledge from the outside world. You might actually have more of a shot with Youkai than most Human Villagers, even if they are also far more likely to eat you.

>>20326189
Ran isn't really the people eating type of Youkai. I'm pretty sure that's not really a thing Kitsune do in general.

>>20326015

Well, they say love is blind.

I'm sure Patchy would be interested in knowledge you can find in the books from the outside world

>>20327240
Kitsunes are the one species specifically noted to take human husbands

>>20329659
I think other Youkai do it as well. But it does seem to be a speciality of Kitsune. Ran is a somewhat special case, but I think you might actually have a decent chance of hooking up with a cute fox girl if you can convince her you would be more fun as a husband than as a meal.

>>20353506

>>20353506
Yes they can
It is stated that fire is just as lethal to a youkai as blessed weapons
Plus, it is implied thst mundane weapons do damage youkai, they just regenerate really quickly, logically if you hit them with enough damage to outpace their regen, they can be forced to retreat, or be made vulnerable enough to bring a Molotov over to finish it

She's only half Youkai. Also way too much of a dork to survive in our society. She would end up as a drug abusing prostitute or a trophy wife in about a week.

Another possibility is her getting impregnated by the first fat nerd who asks her out.

>>20361552
guess you never thought about the predicament a trophy wife faces when her beauty fades with age, then again, Youmu's youkai genes do help her there.

>>20360466
That is possible as well. Probably end up in a abusive relationship as a result.

>>20361552
I don't know. Most trophy wives are apparently pretty miserable. And like somebody else pointed out, even a half ghost is probably going to grow old eventually.

>>20360466
That is a possibility as well. I imagine such a relationship would turn abusive very quickly.

>>20361552
I don't know. Most trophy wives are apparently pretty miserable. And like somebody else pointed out, even a half ghost is probably going to grow old eventually.

>>20363484
She just needs to use the timeless tactic of having her husband die in an "accident" and inheriting all of his riches.
But Youmu is too much of a good girl to resort to that.

>So how are Human-Youkai Marriage viewed by both sides?
From the human side you'd be the devil, a baby eating evil piece of scum who needs to be banished. Well, at least until they forget about it in 5 years and you freely get to roam about the village again, so long as your face isn't known.
>Would the Human Village allow the couple to reside inside the village?
Probably not, but the Village supposedly doesn't want youkai in, yet that never stopped Mamizou, Aya and Kokoro from going there.
>Would Reimu even allow such a relationship to happen?
She'd probably host the wedding, tee bee ache.
>Or how would the Sages react to such things?
Just another day in Gensokyo.
>What's your take on this /jp/?
Depends on the youkai you're marrying. If you're getting it on with the inchling or Wakasaggy, yeah, I'm pulling the sick fuck card on you. Marrying higher and more civilized youkai though, like a kappa or a tengu, doesn't seem like such a bad idea, specially since humans and those aren't exactly on bad terms, they're both rather interested in humans and the fact that tengu is one of those you can actually become. Oh, and kitsune. You get to fuck them because as someone else said, that's kinda what they do.

there's also celestials that regularly husband-hunting on earth

>>20373816
I just might, I could write pages on the subject because I've got the required 'tism. But on the last subject I discussed there, you gotta remember that kappa and tengu actively protect the Human Village, so they, at the very least, like humans to an extent, or at the very least feel the obligation to care for them. No reason they couldn't just turn down the job and have some god do it. Also, when it comes to tengu you have to remember that they hail from human mountain ascetics, so I imagine any human that is alaskan bushman tier (Or has the right spirit to them, tengu society doesn't seem to be that asceticism-centered in Touhou) can probably marry a tengu no problems, if not actually become one.

It's Gensokyo, people become youkai through mere exposure all the time.

>>20381445
Would you place my wife into the high level youkai category ? I mean, I'm a Hard player so it'd fit.

>>20381573
Poor villages are often dependent on the few livestock they have for their survival. Obviously, that doesn't really apply to most people living nowadays. But the two situations are still pretty incomparable.

>>20379034
>A real man goes after gods.
That's the problem though. You don't go after Gods, Gods go after you. If you have what it takes, you will be whisked away to paradise to spend the rest of your life as their lover. If you don't have what it takes, no amount of trying is going to succeed.

Why does everyone hate Seija’s mom?

>>20383793
True, but I get the feeling that any and all suitors that aren't up to the sages' standards are going to be "encouraged" by them to quit or will just mysteriously disappear.

>>20383932
Everyone loves Sagume!

>>20381703
Aya would be probably low hard. She's old but also carefree and fond of humans. She's easy if you're shota though.

>>20384003

>>20362625
They don't even let the former ruler of the mountain roam around it

>>20384003
>>20386045
I'm willing to give Sagume another chance to be a loving mother (with me as the father). I don't know the original circumstances, but everyone deserves a second chance.

>>20386114
Former ruler, as in the oni ? Nah, fuck them, they belong in hell. Also they don't let humans into the mountain, but that's because of other youkai and for their safety.
>>20384269
Well, fitting. I said I'm a Hard player, never said I'm a good one.
>>20383958
Reimu's pretty no-bullshit, if she wants to marry some schmuck but her proverbial fathers are racking up the proverbial shotgun on the dude, she'd just beat 'em up.

>>20381445
Marisa is a romantic, but she has serious commitment issues - if she entered a relationship with someone, she'd quickly feel suffocated by it and want to escape.

They can't.

I mean, that's it, they simply can't. That said most youkai are open about being youkai. Sekibanki is a weirdo, and the only other youkai who hide are foxes and tanuki.

>>20374107
Why?

I tried dating hina, but I kept getting crushed by anvils and pianos that fell from the sky whenever I was with her

>>20383793
> I'd place her on Hard modo at most because she will actively search for someone at some point.
She could just fuck some rando instead of marrying anybody.

>>20383958
Also this. It's quite likely the Youkai sages eventually just arrange a marriage with somebody they think would make a good husband.

>>20386450
Reimu is also a idiot though. it would not be very hard for Yukari to make somebody disappear without Reimu realizing she was responsible.

>>20386599
I doubt Marisa would be interested in a relationship until she's figured out the whole "living forever" thing. Can't blame her.

>>20391705
Reimu will kill her before that happens

>>20371431
>>Or how would the Sages react to such things?
>Just another day in Gensokyo
Sages probably meet and talk about the crazy shit they saw inbetween the time then and when they last met

>>20375973
Maybe.

>>20393655
You can live forever without becoming a Youkai. Something I'm pretty sure Marisa is even looking into.

It's the future of Gensokyo. Take a look a Kourin. He has long life, immunity to most sickness, eats less, and other youkai don't attack him. He has the strength of a youkai, but none of their weaknesses, like a dhampir. Wouldn't you want to pass such gifts onto your children? When Gensokyo is populated by a race of ubermensch half youkai, peace will be achieved.

>>20395133
>It's the future of Gensokyo
It won't be allowed. No matter ho good it is.

>>20394240
I don't know.

>>20395133
I'm sorry, I just can't think of "master race" when talking about Rinnosuke.

>>20353554
>what if they are magical high caliber guns
Wouldn't work. Kagerou could probably be killed with silver bullets though (although the only time she attacked humans it wasn't her fault so she doesn't deserve to be killed).

>>20371431
>Wakasaggy
Wakasagihime is specifically called out as being not an enemy of humans. And seeing as youkai are based off mythology, and the most famous Western mermaid story involves a mermaid wanting to marry a human, she'd probably marry one if given the chance. (Wakasagihime is a mix of Eastern and Western mermaid, so both tropes apply.)

>>20386450
Shuten-douji, as in Suika ruled the mountain in ye olde times. Now anytime she visits it (which is apparently often) the tengu flip their shit and in SWR Aya comes and tells her to fuck off (along with anyone else, including Reimu trying to fix the screwed up weather).

>Marrying a night terror that devours humans
Gensokyo needs firing squads.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veJp8Qjcymo

>>20397273
Anon, I mean that marrying Wakasagihime is a tad bit weird for many reasons that aren't at all related to hostility or amicability ... the half fish part aside, you'd never be able to live in the village again because there's no way she could hide her lack of legs, and you'll never be able to live more than a stone's throw away from a body of water. Oh yeah, also mermaids do tend to be murderous creatures who drown sailors for fun in western mythology. Make of that what you will.
>>20397300
Well, telling people to fuck off is kind of her job, as before stated, it's not safe for humans to go up the mountain. She only let Reimu through in MoF because she lost to her in a danmaku duel, and because there wasn't spooky shit going on, just some shrine that appeared. I did get some banter vibes against Aya in SWR though, so hey, probably that, or she just wanted to solve the incident herself.

That aside, the oni should stay go.

Build her a wheelchair.

>>20401208
Yes. A fight between Gensokyo and the outside world would be one hell of a harsh curb stomp battle. The Youkai would be lucky to walk away from such a conflict as slaves.

Wonder if they would start handing out Youkai as sex slaves.

>>20401208

Depends on the people.
After a battle between Americans and Japanese on some Pacific island the local cannibal tribes carried away the dead to eat. They were reported to have said they loved the way the Japanese taste and going on to say the only thing better tasting was their own women.
This same tribe said they hated the way Americans tasted and said their flesh was musky, greasy and stringy and not very pleasant.
They even noted how wild animals would seem to avoid the American dead but feast on the Japanese dead. Stating that the Japanese corpses would be covered in maggots after one day but the American corpses would rot a few days before maggots would appear on them.
This same tribe would go on to become a cargo cult believing the Americans were something other than human.

>>20402687
One blank check. Also once you're spent its over, and she will spend it soon.

>>20402615
Probably not
The children would want their mothers freed, and the fathers would not want their children enslaved
No way to do it that wont cause issues
Plus, slavery of any kind is banned, and this would extend to the human level intelligent youkai, despite their supernatural nature

>>20402969
Nice

>>20404484
I don't know, you'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you sufficiently dehumanize a group. Even children can be taught to view their own mothers as scum unworthy of love after all.

>>20406136
Such dehumanization would backfire on the hybrid children, as well as get significant protests since 2hu youkai all look like young attractive women, which people are instinctively protective of

>>20406237
Maybe eventually. But at first people would be able to very effectively demonize Youkai for being literal human flesh eating monsters that need to be tamed and broken. At best, people's instinctive urge to protect young girl like things might be used to justify slavery under the guise of "It's for their own good to be submissive and powerless" just like people did with normal human girls for most of human history.

I doubt either humans or youkai will be interested in marrying after a war of near genocide and the complete destruction of the life they had in Gensokyo.

>>20407328
>Are you seriously pretending that you would reject a government sponsored chance to have this woman
I mean, yeah. If, for some reason, we managed to revert to 1500s mentality and suddenly start accepting that owning other people is acceptable, because let's face it, youkai kinda are people in Touhou, many would revolt. Slaves were never docile, they would escape, kill their masters and make slave-only communes all the time IRL. Now imagine if said slave wasn't a dumb savage from Africa, but a well civilized girl half your size but with fiftyfold strength. Good luck, but your AR-15 won't save you there.

Unless we go full doujin and find a way to seal their powers, but then, what good are they compared to regular people ?

>>20408159
Slavery is still a thing now. The last country to officially ban it's practice was in the far away year of 2007. Human trafficking is just another name for slavery just fluffed up so it doesn't sound as bad. Like pre-owned cars for used cars.

>>20407333

>>20408646
Humans can get turned into half-youkai by Remilia's fate manipulation.

>>20408159
Youkai are not people, the governments of the world would use that as justification enough to use them as property. And being owned is still a preferable fight to annihilation at the hands of humanity, which is what would happen if a Youkai tried to revolt.

>>20408661
>Who says the war wouls have to be one of eradication
It would have to be one of near genocide. Since even the less aggressive Youkai would be reluctant to surrender and might decide to help their friends rather than sit back and let them be annihilated.

>the prominent culture of the first world is a generally peaceful one
I'm one of the biggest advocates of the modern world you would find. And yet, I can still say with absolute certainty that we are not a peaceful culture. Just a culture that is very good at justifying our crimes.

>>20409621
*Just a culture that is very good at justifying our aggression.

>>20409621
>help their friends
Against what, the drone missile that straight evaporates them?
The smart ones would know right from the the first shot that it would be an inevitable defeat, since the disparity in power would be made clear. They'd realize that outsiders have grown a fair bit, and will not die as easily as the humans of old did
Sure they have magic, but that shit is ultra close range compared to any rocket based weapon system

Youkai will surrender but they will live long free lives, so long as they comply with the "stop fucking killing people" demand
No genocide and no slaving either

>>20409798
I guess. Some of the Youkai would almost certainly be executed even if they agreed to surrender though for past misdeeds. And those are some of the most well connected and powerful youkai as well.

>>20409621
>which is what would happen if a Youkai tried to revolt.
You don't get it. It wouldn't be just a youkai vs humans thing. It'd be youkai and youkai-friendly humans vs humans. The cognitive dissonance of keeping another (cute) rational being in your basement as if it were a dog would kick in sooner than later for at least some people. I wouldn't say most, since most people have no desire for changing any given status quo, though.

But just think about it, we can't even eliminate ragheads in the desert and cocaleros in the jungle with our modern weaponry. Technically we can, but for some reason, that shit would never fly. Now imagine you replace smelly and ugly druglords with cute girls. How well will people accept their extermination ?
>>20409287
She's a hermit not a sage. You thinking about Kasen or what ?

>>20409798
I think most of them would flee Gensokyo and try to assimilate with human society and not get caught.
They might not have any id, but the female ones can easily seduce rich /jp/sies and live their lives in luxury.

>>20409839
Would pro Youkai hippies really be willing to kill people for their beliefs though? Somehow, I just doubt that.

To be fair, youkai as individuals are a lot more dangerous than smelly drug lords. Who are more of a "cut one head off the hydra and two more grow back" kind of deal.

>>20409870
I mean, I would, but then again, I'm the kinda weirdo that subscribes to the idea that if it looks human, thinks human and speaks human, it's human. This usually comes up more when discussing AI and androids since I'm studying compsci, but the same applies to youkai. They look human, think human, speak human and in this case, even act human seeing how they're capable of forming bonds and civilization.
>To be fair, youkai as individuals are a lot more dangerous than smelly druglords
Exactly, which is why erradication is not a possibility here. Shit gets ugly they'd immediatly go into hiding, either in the wilderness or in plain sight. I mean, Gensokyo pretty much is an example of shit getting ugly and youkai literally running to the hills, well, mountains, and as written works have shown, some youkai can be pretty darn good at disguising themselves. It's not like there's a way to instantly recognise them as the out group, they have no different skincolour or gang tats.

>>20409832
Misdeeds? What misdeeds? All the records on those seem to have gone missing
Pay no attention to the mysterious fire over there

>>20409870
They wouldn't need to fight much
Just one mob trying and failing to lynch one, and the media catching the youkai's tear stained young female face on camera

>>20359083
I imagine Youmu is still a child at heart despite her age and responsibilities.

>>20410071
>seeing how they're capable of forming bonds and civilization.
I'm pretty sure only the Kappa and Tengu really have something resembling civilisation.

>Exactly, which is why erradication is not a possibility here.
I'm not sure if I would go so far as to say impossible. There are a lot of different ways to detect Youkai, both in Touhou and the original fairy tales. I'm pretty sure a normal dog would be able to sniff most of them out.

>>20410103
Unless the Human Villagers end up disappearing as well. I somewhat doubt those misdeeds would remain undiscovered.

>>20410169
I think you might be overestimating the amount of empathy people have for a group of creatures that regularly murder people for fun. Like, thousand year long grudges between ethnic groups have been caused by considerable less severe incidents.

>>20410491
I'm sure they would. Then again, is there anything they don't view as a proper marriage?

>>20409839
Kasen has never been married unlike that tramp.

>>20411765
Your simplifying the problem too much
Youkai are not a hiveminded species, there would be groups pushing the argument that MODERN youkai can be, and are peaceful, the tengu for example would be one such group
Additionally, there are those among them that are genuinely innocent of any crime, and since we generally follow "innocent until proven guilty", this would muddy the waters further.
It would be a political clusterfuck, not a cut and dry execution
You cannot condemn a child for the sins of a parent, and you can't condemn an entire species for the sins of a few

What makes youkai so hot? Power? Wisdom of age? Constant danger of being eaten by them?

>>20414613
They're physically perfect, healthy bodies, youthful unblemished faces, and perfect symmetry
Caveman brain say they are the perfect mate
The mental ability and power is a bonus

>>20414613
Fanart. Only a few Youkai are canonically particularly beautiful.

>>20414931
Frankly, I think the cavemen brain would almost certainly register them as uncanny esque aberrations than perfect mates. "Humans but wrong" rather than "Humans but better".

>>20414965
bang only pretty youkais then, problem solved desu

>>20414991
Obviously. But I imagine those Youkai are quite aware of their beauty. They won't fall for every random outsider with a crush.

>>20415005
Don't suppose they have armies of orbiters around them so they shouldn't be too spoiled with attention.

>>20414931
Speak for yourself mate. Would you let Yukari or whoever you want to be your paizuri slave if she would be dumb as your average bimbo.

>>20414965
>Frankly, I think the cavemen brain would almost certainly register them as uncanny esque aberrations than perfect mates. "Humans but wrong" rather than "Humans but better".
Just like the cavemen brain registers McDonalds as "food but wrong" rather than "food but better", right? Humans are as susceptible to superstimuli as and other species.

Yes.

>>20415074
It's not about attention. It's about picking the few interesting worthy humans out from the rabble that make up most of our species.

>>20415725
Junk food still smells, looks, and tastes like food. While youkai might somewhat look like humans, most of them would also be deep inside the uncanny valley. Something your brain would register and VERY much dislike.

>>20416372
She will almost certainly eat you the moment she gets bored of you or you've got her pregnant. She won't wait until you're old and inedible.

>>20416649
Then you are lost!

Youkai are not mindless animals, they can practice self control just as well as anyone else
Better in fact, since many of them have had decades, if not centuries to practice it

>>20416945
>deep inside the uncanny valley
Uncanny valley is a myth. People just pretend it's real because they're conformists.

Magicians would be the safest bet to take, Someone like Patchi, Alice or even Marisa would work out with no problems.

>>20418440
Patche would try to use your cat for her experiments and wouldn't last 10 minutes having sex before getting too tired, Marisa would "borrow" your stuff and never give it back\ and Alice is a cold bitch who would care more about her dolls than about you.

>>20417175
youkai can practise self control. They choose not to simply because they find it more enjoyable to be able to eat, murder, and rape whenever they please.

>>20418467
*Patche would ask for your help withwonderful magical experiments. Marisa would steal the stuff of people you don't like. And Alice would be a doting mother to any child you would produce.

But they don't.

>>20418467
>and wouldn't last 10 minutes having sex before getting too tired
I don't understand the problem here. Unless you want her to fuck you instead of the other way around.

I want to marry Maribel, support her growth, travel with her, and maybe even learn some abilities of my own along the way. After some time together, we can start a family together.

But Maribel is Human. This is fine.

>>20418622
Uncanny valley refers to how robots and realistic 3Ds just seem not quite human, and don't have the right expressions and movements.

Youkai, as physical beings, don't share these same issues. They have the right facial movements, expressions, and emotions just like a human. The difference here is going to be their personality. As many youkai have lived hundreds of years of not longer, they are going to have a very developed, refined, and fleshed out personality, as they have had countless interactions and experiences to develop it. Whether that personality be good, bad, or just strange.

The question in this thread obviously assumes that the Youkai and the Human both love each other and that the Youkai girl won't want to harm the Human she is marrying, and actually wants to be with him.

Youkai are also prohibited from harming Humans native to the Human Village, but so such rule exists for Humans that happen to find their way into Gensokyo from the outside.

If our Human is from the Human Village, he would be relatively safe from other Youkai. The Humans of Gensokyo are speculated to generally have some level of ability, possibly even be stronger on average than the typical low-level Youkai. Of course, the average Human is extremely weak when compared to more notable Youkai (Like stage bosses, even weak ones.) Remember, there are countless low-level Youkai in Gensokyo that go unnamed.

If our Human is from the outside world, his life would probably be in greater danger. I personally feel like most sentient Youkai have enough self restraint and morality to not eat Humans anymore, given that they live in Gensokyo and don't eat them anyway, due to the rules they live by. So why would they randomly desire to eat that one outside world Human? I just don't see these intelligent, long-lived Youkai girls eating the flesh of another sentient being, despite their 'nature.' Fans often depict the Youkai of Gensokyo as these evil, ravaging beasts with no self control or morality. I just don't see it. If that were the case, they would be going on killing sprees all day long, instead of reading books, hanging out at home setting up silly pranks, etc. I would like to see a canonical source that the Youkai of Gensokyo desire to slaughter and eat Humans. There are exceptions, though, like Rumia, who wants to 'attack' humans. But does she really want to eat them? Our outside world Human would probably want to be wary of Gensokyo's wildlife, though I am not well versed on how dangerous the wildlife is.

As for how a Human-Youkai marriage would be viewed, it is difficult to predict with a lack of understanding on the politics of the Human Village. We have characters like Rinnosuke, who are half Human half Youkai. Rinnosuke lived in the Human village for a time, working as an apprentice under Marisa's father at the Kirisame second-hand shop in the Human Village. This proves that half-Human half-Youkai are tolerated, at worst, in the human village. As for how the humans see the relationship itself, I feel like it would vary from person to person. Some would approve, thinking that love is love. Some would not, seeing the relationship as unnatural. I doubt that the Human would be banished from the Village, though some relationships may be soured. Would the Humans allow the Youkai wife to move into the Village? Possibly, if she is very well controlled and mild mannered. The Human Village gets Youkai visitors all the time, and no one bats an eye. Though, there would be some who would be quite vocal against a Youkai *living* in the village long term.

How would the other Youkai view the relationship? I feel like most wouldn't care. Most Youkai are self-centered, and probably don't care what the other Youkai are doing, so long as it doesn't affect them. They would have opinions, but I'm unsure if any would care enough to act on them.

>>20419263
As for the relationship between the Human and the Youkai bride, it would be interesting.

If the Youkai bride is a higher level, powerful Youkai, she may find herself protecting her husband in situations. It may also be that her power alone would cause people to not want to mess with her husband at all. But would people really want to attack him anyway?

If the Youkai bride is a weaker common Youkai, like the ones that are speculated to be weaker than a typical Gensokyo Human, the pair would be less one-sided. Maybe the pair would get bullied by more powerful Youkai.

Youkai generally live much longer than Humans, so, unfortunately for the Youkai bride, the Human Husband would grow old and pass away, leaving her alone. But for Youkai, who live hundreds of years or more, this may just be part of life. When you live that long, it may be that partnerships don't last forever anyway. Her marriage to a Human would be just one of many chapters in her long life. One to remember fondly, despite how brief it was. She may eventually move on to another partner, or not, depending on her personality. If I were the Human, I would encourage her to find another love after me. I wouldn't want my wife to be alone and sad forever after I am gone. It may be painful knowing she would be with someone else, but more painful would be knowing that she would be alone forever.

Either way, I feel like a Human-Youkai marriage would end up working out. If necessary, they could build a house in the Forest of Magic or somewhere else. The Youkai wife could help the Human learn abilities that make life outside of the Human Village easy.

Building a home, having children, raising them, spending time together with a Youkai wife. Sounds nice, doesn't it?

>>20419263
It's been canon for the longest time that Yukari brings in humans for youkai to eat, and that youkai go on expeditions to the Outside World to find humans to eat. To say youkai are too "intelligent" to eat sentient humans is like saying humans are too "intelligent" to eat living, innocent animals that did nothing to them but be delicious.

>>20419341
>that did nothing to them but be delicious
Oh my, I'm considered delicious by these youkai cuties~

>>20419341
Whats the source on that?

>>20416924
painfully true.

>>20416956
>or you've got her pregnant

I guess if I marry the spider, but not too likely.

>>20419341
>Yukari brings in humans for youkai to eat

Sexually?

>>20419263
Stop posting my wife in weeding dress so casually my dude.

>>20420283
your wife is my onahole, dude

>>20419341
Is it that Yukari intentionally brings in Humans for Youkai to eat, or is it just a side effect of her border manipulation that creates gaps in the barrier that outsiders just happen to fall through on accident?

And what Youkai are doing the eating? Are we talking sentient, humanoid, intelligent Youkai like Kogasa, Mystia, Aya, etc, or are we talking random Youkai monsters like giant centipedes?

Is it just a few random outsider Humans, or are we talking hundreds or more per year? And by devoured by Youkai, do we mean literally torn limb from limb and eaten in a bloody manner, or are we talking their life force or something just drained away?

Given the way Gensokyo's residents react to Sumireko, it seems like the don't want to literally kill and eat her.

These are all questions that need to be answered.

>>20421049
>Is it that Yukari intentionally brings in Humans for Youkai to eat
Different anon, but yes, that is entirely the case and it's very canon. However, the other anon is being kinda misleading here, since it's been explicitly stated that Yukari only brings in the completely hopeless and irredeemable, such as people about to commit toaster inside bathtub, criminals and the such. The other part about youkai doing expeditions into the outside world ... I don't remember anything of that such, either it's from some CD or written work that I have not yet checked out, or that anon is full of it. Could be either, but many works, specially the ones related to the urban legend incidedent, detail how the Hakurei Barrier works, and it seems pretty much impossible that youkai can just go outside on the reg to eat people.

Now keep posting more wedding dresses or else I'll feed you to the youkeks.

>>20419037
>and don't have the right expressions and movements.
And you don't think that's the case for most youkai? Especially when it comes to movement, I imagine that would trigger some alarm bells.

>>20419370
Enjoy, it's about the only interest any girl is ever going to have in you.

>>20420212
No.

>>20421343
Why do you think Youkai have robotic faces? They would move around just like any other sentient two legged creature.

>>20421049
>Is it that Yukari intentionally brings in Humans for Youkai to eat, or is it just a side effect of her border manipulation that creates gaps in the barrier that outsiders just happen to fall through on accident?
Going by her profile in PCB and her dialogue in WaHHm she does it on purpose.

>And what Youkai are doing the eating?
Sapient, but often somewhat more feral, youkai like Mystia, Rumia, Chen, and Yamane. It is however VERY strongly implied that Yukari eats people as well, and the Kappa still eat anus balls.

>Is it just a few random outsider Humans, or are we talking hundreds or more per year?
It's probably about a hundred every year. Some of those survive and return to the outside world, a few decide to start living in the Human Village, but most perish.

>And by devoured by Youkai, do we mean literally torn limb from limb and eaten in a bloody manner, or are we talking their life force or something just drained away?
It depends. I imagine some youkai, like the more animalistic ones, would probably just tear somebody into shreds. But a lot of the more "intelligent" youkai would cook their victims first.

>Given the way Gensokyo's residents react to Sumireko, it seems like the don't want to literally kill and eat her.
She hasn't really talked with any youkai that has a genuine interest in human flesh (Nitori doesn't count). Even then, Aya flat out told her that most youkai view her as food.

>>20421259
>since it's been explicitly stated that Yukari only brings in the completely hopeless and irredeemable,
When? The only time it's ever been talked about what people Yukari might bring into Gensokyo, it talked about "the suicidal" and "the easily missed'. The former could include countless people suffering from a mental illness, while the latter could just as easily mean "war orphans" as "death row criminals".

>I don't remember anything of that such, either it's from some CD or written work that I have not yet checked out,
It's from the PCB prologue. And I don't THINK it's canon anymore. Although, it could just refer to Yukari and her minions abducting outsiders.

>>20421259
What do we mean by eat?

Which Youkai specifically need to be fed Humans?
How do they eat the Humans?

>>20421405
>What do we mean by eat?
Youkai catch, prepare, devour, and then digest the human they hunt.

>Which Youkai specifically need to be fed Humans?
None. With the POSSIBLE exception of the scarlet sisters. Youkai just do it because they like it.

>How do they eat the Humans?
Probably much the same way you would eat a whole pig or chicken.

>>20421396
I thought Mystia ran a food cart and had half a brain? Was that impression wrong?

>>20421367
>Why do you think Youkai have robotic faces?
Not robotic, just wrong. Bright inhuman red eyes. Predatory sharp canine teeth. Very pale complexions. Skin that feels more like another layer of clothing. Impossibly well kept hair. And movements so graceful as to be disturbing.

>>20421432
Mystia did ran a food cart and is somewhat intelligent. She still doesn't seem to want anything to do with society, and might not even have a house. I would be surprised if she doesn't still hunt delicious outsiders to roast over a warm fire when she isn't running that cart.

>>20421396
>mental illness, while the latter could just as easily mean "war orphans" as "death row criminals".
Well, maybe I'm just being a dumb edgelord here, but I think Yukari is doing us a favour here by getting rid of the undesirables for us. Well, hopefully not war orphans, but hey.
>It's from the PCB prologue.
I see. I always find it funny how most of the plot of the games aren't contained in the games itself. I've flipped PCB inside and out except for the Phantasm stage because Yukari still kicks my ass, and I remember no such thing. But then again, I've only read translations of the omake.txt file because I can't moon.
>>20421405
>Which Youkai specifically need to be fed Humans?
Presumably low level youkai, I don't imagine most youkai in Touhou actuallyy NEEDING to eat humans though. Remember, they actually need humans to be superstitious, fearfull of them or somewhat faithful, not to consume human flesh in order to exist. I imagine the low levels only eat people because that's the easiest way to generate fear, but really, the ones in 2hu seem to be doing just fine by just scaring the shit outta people. Mystia is someone I would imagine eating people, yet, she doesn't. She just blinds people and make them get lost so she can sell the cure in the form of yakitori, and now has a punk band. Can't imagine any musician that would do well by eating their audiences, unless they're Marilyn Manson.
>How do they eat the Humans?
How do you eat chicken ?

>>20421482
>Well, maybe I'm just being a dumb edgelord here, but I think Yukari is doing us a favour here by getting rid of the undesirables for us.
1: We have a system in law in place to deal with criminals, you know. 2: People with depression are not "undesirable". Even if you are some kind of nazi bastard, that is something you have to understand. 3: Being easily missed has nothing to do with how productive of a member of society you are.

>I imagine the low levels only eat people because that's the easiest way to generate fear
It's that way for all youkai, it's a bit like salting the meat I imagine. It's not enough for their victims to die, they need to die terrified.

>Mystia is someone I would imagine eating people, yet, she doesn't. She just blinds people and make them get lost so she can sell the cure in the form of yakitori
That's what she does with Human Villagers (people she can't eat anyway). If a outsider stumbled across her food cart, or encountered her when she wasn't working, she would almost certainly kill them.

>>20421577
>Even if you are some kind of nazi bastard, that is something you have to understand.
I know, I know, guess I really was just being edgy. Not that I was referring to the depressed or even the schizophrenic when talking about undersirables, those people are fine.
>If a outsider stumbled across her food cart, or encountered her when she wasn't working, she would almost certainly kill them.
Eh, now, is it ? I don't know. For one, there's no way she could tell the difference from a glance even if they were wearing modern clothing instead of japanese traditional clothes, and honestly, if a human makes it to her cart, it'd probably be best to assume that said human is not a human. Those intentionally brought in for meat don't survive even a day, I mean, the bandits on DiPP didn't. Who knows, maybe Yukari announces when someone is going to be dropped in, and who that is. After all, humans do stumble into Gensokyo on their own all the time.

>>20421624
>said human is not a human.
*Said human is not a meal, I mean. Ahhh, typing on automatic.

>>20421624
>I don't know. For one, there's no way she could tell the difference from a glance even if they were wearing modern clothing instead of japanese traditional clothes
I think most youkai would have a pretty easy time spotting a outsider. Even ignoring the way they look, smell, and sound. Most of them would be panicking and trying to check their mobile phone.

>and honestly, if a human makes it to her cart, it'd probably be best to assume that said human is not a human.
Why? She apparently gets a decent amount of human customers.

>After all, humans do stumble into Gensokyo on their own all the time.
Eh... Sometimes it's implied that they do, sometimes it's implied that Yukari is always behind it. Either way, any outsider in Gensokyo is fair game for youkai. So, I doubt it matters much.

>>20421627
Again, why? Like, let's not forget that she still expects to be payed for her food. It's quite likely that abducted outsiders aren't carrying any food with them. Meaning that, even if she does sell anything to them, she might still kill them anyway once she realizes that they can't pay her for the food she just made.

>>20421668
*aren't carrying any money with them

>>20421668
>>20421652
I guess you're right about the part that an outsider would be easy to spot, yeah. I still hold it, though, that someone who makes it to her cart might not be a meal because of the fact that they could've just wound up in Gensokyo, in which case they're not "marked", they're not there specifically for eating and it's the miko's job to show them the door. And you know, you don't want to fuck with the miko.

Even if they were gapped in, it could just be that Yukari brought them for SOME reason other than dinner if they're still alive somehow. Referring again to DiPP, the outsiders were very efficiently and promptly brutalized soon after they got in, so I just assume that feasting on those who were gapped must be some sort of event, something that the youkai know is going to happen beforehand.

>>20421702
>in which case they're not "marked", they're not there specifically for eating and it's the miko's job to show them the door. And you know, you don't want to fuck with the miko.
I don't think that matters. It's not so much that Humans are marked for eating as much as the Human Villagers are marked for not eating. Everybody else is free game, and is hunted down and devoured accordingly.

>Even if they were gapped in, it could just be that Yukari brought them for SOME reason other than dinner if they're still alive somehow.
Besides the scarlet sisters, Yukari doesn't seem to actually hand Humans to Youkai. Instead preferring to simply drop them somewhere in Gensokyo and then let nature run its course.

>Referring again to DiPP, the outsiders were very efficiently and promptly brutalized soon after they got in, so I just assume that feasting on those who were gapped must be some sort of event, something that the youkai know is going to happen beforehand.
DiPP status as a canon work is... debatable. Either way, I don't think that is necessarily proof of anything. It's quite likely the people simply got unlucky and were dropped very close to a hungry Youkai, just like how some people got lucky and up dropped near somebody like Mokou or Marisa that might help them get back to safety.

>>20421723
Well ... pretty solid stuff you're saying there, actually. I don't know if Mystia would take the free game policy because she's at leat somewhat smart, but that's just me. On the other hand, though, I'm not sure we were shown any feral and wild youkai that eats humans, but if regular tsukumogami exist, as it has been shown, then I'm sure some night terrors might lurk Gensokyo.
>Besides the scarlet sisters
Actually that brings up something interesting, do they actually need human flesh, or are they just blood drinkers ? If it's the latter, I'm sure Sakuya probably fufills their needs, or maybe they could just have someone else raid a bloodbank for them. If they DO need flesh ... well, we're getting into Zounouse territory here.

>>20421049
Yukari brings them in as well as the barrier letting people fall through

>>20421443
This
Youkai are uncanny precisely because they are so beautiful
They're so perfect, whereas a human would have some flaws

>>20422218
Is it a canon fact that Youkai girls have 100% flawless skin, are beautiful and perfect ideal versions of humans?

>>20421763
>I don't know if Mystia would take the free game policy because she's at leat somewhat smart, but that's just me.
I mean, she does talk about eating people a lot. But then again, she is also a massive blowhard. We don't really know 100% until we've actually seen her eat anybody, and I doubt ZUN is ever going to show that.

>On the other hand, though, I'm not sure we were shown any feral and wild youkai that eats humans, but if regular tsukumogami exist, as it has been shown, then I'm sure some night terrors might lurk Gensokyo.
The closest we get to such a youkai is Rumia and Kisume. Then again, the former is lazy and stupid enough to be harmless and the latter might just be a edgelord.

>do they actually need human flesh, or are they just blood drinkers ?
Going by Remilia's EoSD profile, they do seem to need blood. As for why they don't just use Sakuya, I think it's 1: A vampire honour kind of thing not to feed on your own servants. 2: I doubt she would survive providing enough blood for both Remilia and Flandre. As for why they don't just raid a blood bank... No idea, I guess Yukari is just kind of a asshole.

>>20421451
>Mystia did ran a food cart and is somewhat intelligent. She still doesn't seem to want anything to do with society
Mystia is literally running her stand on festivals you baka.

>>20423310
I'm aware. But again, she still lives in the woods. Seemingly without any friends or even a house.

>>20422406
Besides Byakuren, we don't actually know if any Youkai are supposed to be beautiful. It's all pretty much just speculation based on the characters (often of questionable quality) art and the way people react to them. Personally, I think "Too good to be true uncanny valley occupants" is very plausible, but it is ultimately just a theory.

>>20422206
That does seem to be the case. Even if according to Yukari's PCB profile, she's responsible for every human that is spirited away.

>>20423400
That's a pretty dumb assumptions considering that even dumb fairies have a houses.
> without any friends
And yet she somehow formed punk duo, duh.

From PMISS:
>Since there is little chance of defeating her at night, you must resort to doing it during the day, but since she hides during the day that is not a simple task.
This seems to imply that she hides during the day. Rather than staying in one easily found location somewhere in the woods.

>And yet she somehow formed punk duo
She might have befriended Kyouko, or they might just work together. We don't really know.

>>20423558
>PMISS
>seems to imply
>or they might just work together.
Wow it's fucking nothing. If you're going to pretend that she's some unga bunga caveman while doing punk stuff with someone who actually don't care about then go ahead.

>>20423419
I think since youkai were made by the imagination of humans, we can easily imagine - and thus reshape them - as our favorite porn cliches, as long as our faith is strong enough

>>20423637
>Wow it's fucking nothing.
Again, it's all just speculation. If you want to make a case that Mystia totally does have a house and her and Kyouko have befriended each other, then make a actual case.
