downing 3 shots of semen per day

How do you think the parents in the human village scare their kids into staying into line?

>Logical fallacy in touhou canon
Hahaha no, don't even start. The whole thing is a giant plothole of a fallacy of an inconsistency of dumb of retarded. And nobody cares.
Porn and video games.

We care.

>>9234821
Is there any problem ?

>>9234825
I care!
How am I going to make my gensokyo as realistic as possible if there are things that don't make sense?

Would you venture down there to go and hang out with Yuugi? I would.

>>9234829

>>9234833
I would venture underground to meet all Touhous living down there.

>>9234833
Even if you can get along with the youkai you'll end up getting possessed by vengeful spirits.
Or at least I would, I suck.

>>9234829
> make my gensokyo as realistic as possible
Why would anybody in his right mind want to... wait, you must be joking?

>>9234848
You are pretty good, anon.

Why won't you move to real Gensokyo instead? All you need to do is to kill yourself.

>>9234809
Lets improve the canon and say that when a youkai kind become numerous enough to have their own society, they become "stable" and can exist without the humans' knowledge. Stories are full of people stumbling into hidden groves or towns, full of supernatural critters, who obviously were existing just nicely until then.

In Gensokyo, the "stable" youkai are the Kappa, the Tengu and the Oni. And what's more, a stable youkai can help other nearby youkai to avoid death by oblivion.

So, the underground youkai survive because they're technically living in an Oni kingdom.

>>9234856
Why not unite all youkai in a big realm and make humans obsolete?

>>9234860
Some youkai just can't live together, I guess.

>>9234860
That's what Byakuren wants, isn't it?

>>9234856
Balance. Youkai generate Yin energy, while Humanity generate Yang energy. If you have just Youkai living around, they'll saturate the region in so much Yin that it'll stop existing in Earth and enter Makai, or the Dreamlands, or some shit like that.

Once you figure that Yukari's main job is balancing the energies so that Gensokyo can be an Youkai haven AND exist on Earth, inside a major Yang focus (Japan was the Empire of the SUN, after all), your respect for her will increase.

Or perhaps the whole thing is a scam. In SoPM, I think Kanako mentioned that youkai managed to solidify their beings into a stable physical body thanks to the creation of the great barrier. Maybe they think they need fear to live because most of them fill their stomaches with it; perhaps there are only a few that know all this, but they decided to keep quiet just to mantain the balance of things.

Even so, some youkai still exist out of the border (like Mamizou), so there must be something else. In any case, most of this shit is only important if you're going to make a story out of it, right?

>improve canon

Too late, literally all of that has been explicitly stated in SoPM. And much more, like the bit about how the belief about youkai being real is not necessary for their continued existence - merely being contained in humanity's collective consciousness as a conceptual fictional entity suffices.

And then, of course, there's http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru_Newspaper_3

It's fantasy fiction, it doesn't matter

>>9234878
It's hard to know what Byakuren actually does. SoPM says her temple conducts Sutra chantings every month, but these leave the humans morose and the youkai excited. This clearly means she's channeling huge amounts of "youkai energy" to Gensokyo (compare with Makai's atmosphere, poisonous to humans, favorable to magic).

>>9234898
Could you say that again for dummies like me?

If everyone forgets about Koishi the moment she leaves, how does she survive?

>>9234947
Her sister still remembers her. Aparently, Marisa also does.

>>9234938
Humans don't have to actually believe in ogres and fairies, it's enough that everyone knows about them from stories.

>>9234953
I see, so being remembered by a single youkai really is enough for a other youkai to survive?

>>9234988
I wouldn't take Koishi of all things as an example for that. Her powers have to do with subconsciousness and such.

How would that influence her very nature as a youkai though?
Just because someone is a human who can draw good doesn't means that he lives from eating pencils suddenly

>>9234947
Poor Koishi! It feels like /jp/ almost forgot about her.
