Can you imagine wanting to follow Buddhism when Taoism is available?
Just think about it, Taoists are all working hard to improve themselves and become bitchin' Celestials or at least be able to do some wicked fun stuff, while Buddhists hate themselves so much that they only wish that they didn't exist.

Stop reading garbage memes birthed from sloppy translations!
"There is what we may think of as a Buddhist answer to the triad being, consciousness, bliss. It is the triad referred to as "the three hallmarks" (P: ti-lakkhana), that is, the hallmarks of phenomenal existence. These are impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, absence of self. The order betrays the Upanisadic reasoning. Things are impermanent, i.e., ever-changing, and by that token they are not satisfactory, and by that token they cannot be the atman."
"The third hallmark is very often mistranslated (sometimes by me too, in the past) as "not having a self or essence". That is indeed how later Buddhists came to interpret it, but that was not its original meaning - in fact, it is doubly misleading. Both Pali grammar 14 and a comparison with the Vedanta show that the word means "is not atman" rather than "does not have atman". Comparison with the Vedanta further shows that the translation "self" is appropriate, as the reference is to living beings. However, as time went by the term was taken as a possessive compound and also taken to refer to everything, so that it became the one-word expression of the Buddha's anti-essentialism."

It's telling the head Buddhist in Gensokyo is a sham who doesn't actually believe in its tenants

Very true
Byakuren: "My brother died, and now I'm afraid of death, so I'm going to lie, cheat and lead dozens of other innocent people to their deaths to facilitate my forbidden arts, and, oh no! Are these... the consequences of my own, conscious actions?!"

Even today, when confronted with her hypocrisy, Byakuren lies, obfuscates or flagrantly ignores the issue. The only tragedy here is that people have still convinced themselves she's somehow a good person.
