/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Don't give a fuck about either side, i'll be at the Yakumo residence with real Touhou while eating popcorn while I watch these idiot groups duke it out.

Taoism > Buddhism

Byakuren > Miko

I honestly don't know...

If I absolutely had to choose I would pick the Buddhists
But they are like my two favorite fractions so it's a tough choice.
In b4 shit taste

I choose a side of Hearing about it a week after, missing out on events as always. No one ever tells anon that shit is going down.

I really like Seiga.

Besides that, the Buddhists. Taoism (in Touhou at least) is a shallow religion based on childish wish fulfillment (hurr durr immortality).

Byakuren was a pretty bad Buddhist as a human (fear of death, using arcane magic), but she's mellowed out now and the residents of her temple are awesome.

I like Shou and Murasa, but I'll side with the Taoists

I like Murasa, but I like Futo more.

Taoists.

Left

Taoism, just because i've learned about taoism with books and stuff, i'm not really into worshipping someone.

>>8931767

This guy right here

Futo is way more radical

>>8931805
I would love to get more into taoism, but it's not really popular on the west. ;_;

Hey, Hey!
Hey hey are you ready? *clap* *clap*
Are you ready? *clap* *clap*
To play *clap*
Say go team *clap*
Go team *clap*
Buddhists all the way!, NAMUSAN!

As much as I think Byakuren is adorable as fuck, I'll side with right because left's religion might drive me insane.

No time for boring old monks.
Taoism all the way.

>>8931819
Hijiri please go

>>8931816

Who cares, it's just some supernatural fictional nonsense made up by Chinese crackpots. Buddhism on the other hand is sophisticated spiritualism. No wonder neo-/jp/ prefers Taoism

南無三宝！ Fuck yeah Byakuren

>>8931846
NO

I want some Hindu touhous. Hindu mythology is awesome. It's so intricate and elaborate.

>>8931888
Hell yeah.
Hindu gods would make awesome touhous.

>>8931888
It can't be condensed into 6 little girls, so you get a NO!

I'll stick with the Taoists, radical boating and more human friendly.

>>8931875
You want to be gone by force, then?

Taoists, of course.

Youkai never change.

The one with Murasa on it.

>buddhists

TH14: Christians come to Gensokyo

Miyako > Ichirin & Unzan
Seiga > Murasa
Futo >= Shou
Toyosatomimi <= Byakuren
Tojiko< Tanuki
That's it, fuck you Byakuren.

>>8931947
no thx

>>8931947
How about scientologists?

>Miko: Threat level: Low; Human friendship level: Very High

>Hijiri: Threat level: Unknown ;Human friendship level: Medium

Miko will be your friend and will never hurt you.
Also, Taoism has Futo and her radness.

itt; too many people choosing religion because of extreme boating sports

>>8931979

Well how else are you supposed to pick a religion?

>>8931979

Got a problem with that?

>>8931971
She is also a saint while Byakuren was a bad buddhist

>>8931979
It's the best way to choose a religion.

I like the UFO crew.
I like the TD crew more, with Miko being my new favorite character.

Why must we fight? Both are groups are great. Can't we have peace and drink tea together?

I think the real enemy here are those Shinto gods that live on Youkai mountain.

>>8933000
Shinto is the native faith you heretic mainland scum.

As far as characters go, I like the Buddhists better but the Taoists are a cooler concept.

>>8931940

>Buddhism

>>8933013
>Shinto is the native faith
So?

>>8933092
>Littleshrimp
ohboyherewego

Was it ever mentioned which branch of Buddhism does Byakuren belong to?

>>8933092

I think littleshrimp needs to back away from the computer when they're on their period.

>>8933166

The White Lotus.

>>8933172
I know I shouldn't care, but people actually talk like this?

>>8933172
Lol what a dumb faggot. Littleshit indeed.

Taoism.

I would follow my captain to the ends of the earth.

She also has the best theme out of those games. Next best is Shou'd boss/stage theme.

>>8931871
Get a load of this faggot.

>>8933166
Myouren belonged to the Shingon sect. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Byakuren does too, though I guess that may not be the case.

Taoism, definitely

I wasn't expecting the TD crew to be this popular.

I'm proud of you /jp/.

>>8933426
I can't help it, TD crew is one of the most funnest crews that ZUN has created.

>>8933426
>>8933441

I've always thought I was alone in my love for TD.
I'm glad to know there are others that like the game.

TD team is great, but Seiga is just plain awful. Futo and Miko are carrying the whole team.
Of course, UFO team just has Kyouko and MAYBE Nue, so...

>>8933648
Fuck you Youkai Jesus is the best.

>>8933666
Eh. I've never liked Byrakyren much. I don't see her appeal at all.

Byakuren is the only one worth a damn

I'll stay with my pure saint.

>What is this mysterious thing!?
>It must be a magical fetish! Teach me how to use it!!

>>8933669
The appeal of Byakuren, in my opinion, is that she sides with those who are oppressed by human society, which is so quick to judge others as subhuman and decide that they don't deserve to live.

The humans aren't the ones who need mercy. The youkai are the one who have been forced to hide out in Gensokyo.

>>8933693
Don't corrupt Futo with the pervert ways of modernity.

Isn't Mamizou on the wrong side?

>>8933704
Is this better?

>I have gotten a fine idea!
>It will not be cold if the two of us are to sleep together, am I not correct?
>Well then, let us sleep together!

>>8933726
I love this image in a completely non-lewd way.

>Ooh!! That's the latest and trendy exorcising tool, isn't it!?
>Eh? Really?

Miko > Kogasa > Murasa > Futo > Yoshika > Shou > Nue > Tojiko > Ichirin > Seiga > Nazrin > Byakuren > Mamizou

I guess this means I pick the Taoists. I wish they wouldn't be depicted as at each others throats all the time, though, since I enjoy the existence of both groups.

Aside from how Mamizou is ugly as sin, anyway.

>>8933726
Yes it is. I love this image. I want to sleep with Futo, in a non-sexual way.

>>8933718
Nope, she's a friend of Nue who was called to help against Miko.

>>8933790
This guy has good tastes. Except I'd put Nue and Seiga a bit higher

>This "curry rice" thing is quite good!
>I like it!
>Wilst thou to be my follower?
>I would eat thy cooking on every day!

>Dessert? "Cake"?
>Is this thing even better than "curry rice"?
>Yes! I shall partake!
>Thou art indeed a good person!
>I shall be a stout ally to thee!

Left has Shou, Byakuren, and Mami. No contest for me.

The guy posting these Futo pictures, and their translations, deserves praise.

>>8933754
What is that thing?
It look like an electric razor.
Emphasis on electric.

>>8934081
>>8934093
These threads are making me like Futo more and more.

Right, right, right and right.

>Wow...this...
>Cake, big cake! Is it really okay for me to eat all of it!?
>I never knew a cake could be this big...! Really!? Is it really okay!?
>So, it's really okay!
>Wow...All of this...wooow...
>It's big...so big...

>Um! Now, eat this cake with me!
>It's fine, it's fine. It's what I want.
>Besides, I figured it out! When you are by my side, yummy things taste much, muuuuuch better!
>This is an amazing discovery! It must be the same for you, right?
>So, it'd be nice if we can be together always... Um!
>Now, eat cake with me!

>A god...?
>I see! So you've come to deliver me to the heavens!?

>>8934081
>>8934093
>>8934271
>>8934286

Do not poke the Futo. The Futo is not to be poked.

>>8934451
eye will poke you

Buddhist team is better team. Murasa can be my Captain any day

Look guys, I know this is one of those threads where people fight over religious supremacy on /jp/ (and by that I mean it's just a UFO/TD circlejerk), but everyone should be allowed to choose their own religion, regardless of sex, age or skin color.

For example, I like all of Gensokyo's denizens. Am I really forced to pick a side?

>>8934485
By all means no. This thread is just for fun. No ones forcing you to do anything.

>>8934461
>He, hey! I'm searching for a new pose, don't get in the way!

>>8934485
Yes! Now come to our side, anon!

>>8934485
Don't be a fag.

>You sure got some guts, to leave me waiting here...

Radical philosophy > radical boating

Seiga of course grabs my interest out of the Taoist crew, shame though she's kinda doing her own thing now and left Miko, Futo and Tojiko to lift their own weight for most of it. But that's kinda makes her interesting in her own way.

Then again, it was suggested she couldn't really persuade people into Taoism thus resorted to a political leader the was labeled as a saint to her job.

She obviously picked the right man (or girl in this case) to do the job.

Personally I give her credit for at least starting the whole Taoist hermit project.

Course even if I disregard Seiga (being she's just wandering around stalking people), then Miko would be the one I pick, due to her strong leadership.

So yeah a vote, for Team Taoist.

If you like Futo, you'll probably like this.

As religion I like Buddhist more but the Taoism group looks so much better and more awesome than the boring Buddhist group.

Buddhism > Taoism
Miko > Byakuren

>>8935476
It's hard to picture myself helping Futo like that. Sleeping with someone every night for weeks, seems like it would drive you crazy from masturbation deprivation alone. I'm not sure I could make it through the first night.

>>8939590
I'd help her, because to me it just seems like the right thing to do. I'm weak when it comes to helping people like poor Futo in this story.
Maybe I will let her stay with me forever, and we can both cry together because Miko is dead and Miko is my favorite character.

Though the Youmu part would make me fear for my own life.

>While she utilized Buddhism for political purposes, she longed for unusual powers. The power she wanted most of all was the same one countless figures of authority had desired: the power of immortality. Apparently, that was the reason she practiced Taoism. The truth is, the ultimate objective of Taoism is to achieve immortality.

She's like Byakuren except she lacks grace and tries to make up for it with her Terrible Design.

>>8935476

This artist is a double nigger, I hate him, his art and his stories

>>8940050
>she lacks grace

She's so noble and transcendental that's it's hard to anyone even relate to her. Also fuck you, Miko4lyfe

>I've heard that many humans from the village wish to become her disciples. It's true that one's ordinary life would change utterly if one could master the arts of the hermit.

>However, she doesn't appear to think of those disciples as anything more than servants. Which is quite natural; a hermit's disciples are mere gophers.

Just remember that you can never fully trust a politician.

>>8940074
>noble and transcendental
She seems more like she's full of herself. Might be why autists are so into her.

>>8940085
It's more of a matter of being a hermit than a politician.

>>8940096
>She seems more like she's full of herself.
Well, she was raised as a prince/princess back in a time when royalty, or at least Japanese emperors, were still considered heavenly, divine envoys.
>autists
There's that word again...

>>8940103
Either way, her desire to stand atop everyone is a slippery slope that ends with her becoming like Seiga.

>>8940138
I don't think it will go that far.

>>8940143
That's how all politicians thought. "I'll do a little coke here", "I'll take a little bribe there". Now look, we've got Masons and Illuminati all up our asses.
