Friendly reminder that for normal humans, Gensokyo is a horrible place to live.
The villagers constantly live in fear of the yokai are though they aren't hunted and eaten, they are still livestock raised to power the youkai via emotions and their personal happiness or wellbeing is of no concern to the powers that be. They are under constant surveillance for any possible thoughtcrime, and the few Humans who speak up and try to rally the Humans die in "accidents". If a human from the outside world gets spirited away to Gensokyo, they're hunted down and eaten by the various youkai. Most if not all the youkai shown to us in the games are known human eaters, either by their race's description or quotes they say about eating humans in games ie. Rumia, Mystia, Sekibanki, Rin etc.

Your favorite Touhou probably dines on human flesh on a regular basis and would probably eat you too if you actually went to Gensokyo.

How can you deny the facts when they're in front of you?

Most humans are largely ignorant of their situation, which is largely intentional due to Keine's efforts to instill collaborationism among the youth she teaches, tengu propaganda papers used to keep the humans passive and entertained, zashiki-warashi and tsukumogami surveilling people and households, and disguised youkai living amongst the villagers, monitoring their activities directly and taking care of any individuals posing a threat to the status quo. It's hard for them to know the truth since their entire perception of reality is manipulated by the youkai elite.

When you stop and think about it for a moment, the Human Village is nothing more than East Germany.

This is why my ideal life in Gensokyo is to work at the SDM instead of the human village.

It likely won't be indefinite, but it'll be amusing until Remilia gets bored of me and decides I don't bring any utility that Sakuya didn't already bring. At which point I'll probably have the good fortune of being killed by a human instead of a youkai.

It's nothing like East Germany. Commies are materialist, so they would have no choice but to deny the very existence of the secret agents they're hiring and the whole system would collapse. A better comparison would be somewhere like Iran or Tibet before they got invaded.

This commentary of Reimu's has a flip side; there's the face value part that Gensokyo largely unmasks youkai from their original natures, but it should also be noted that Reimu is viewing youkai from the privileged position of not being afraid of them whatsoever and not being part of the society that is actively influenced by the youkai in order to maintain their existence, so of course she doesn't see most of them as anything but eccentric.

Because the gods also benefit from it. Okina in general is a weird case, as her nature as a secret god means she's worshiped in a very different way than somebody like Kanako. But Gensokyo is general is a perfect place for more ambitious amoral gods to flourish.

Reimu is, eh, kind of biased. As other people pointed out, she's easily the most privileged human in all of Gensokyo. It's no wonder she would view most of them as harmless eccentrics. She's also ignorant as all hell, up to and including not realizing what being a Hakurei Shrine Maiden actually entails.

With that said though, I won't deny that a lot of them are harmless eccentrics. For every murderous sociopath like Yukari, there is somebody like Wriggle or Aya that is pretty easygoing and friendly. The youkai of Gensokyo have changed. They have a choice to do evil nowadays. The problem is, a lot of them still choose to do evil. And the actual systems of Gensokyo are set up in a way that the ones that do choose to be evil can do so without consequences.

To sum it up: Gensokyo is a bad place run by bad people made for the sake of bad people. But good people do still exist. And pretending that all youkai are evil is stupid, but pretending that all youkai are harmless is stupid as well.

Nonsense. A society filled with actually happy people would be able to function without hope. The human villagers are simply so miserable that it's ONLY hope in a better tomorrow that keeps them going.

>how do you think religion became an established thing?
Then isn't it noticeable that religion is dying in the outside world? Almost like the people there are happy enough that they don't need false hope anymore. Unlike the human villagers, who's entire society relies on the notion that things are going to get better to continue existing.
