Games? I just post cute pictures

Not much to talk about besides Okina.
1-4 stage bosses are forgettable and feel like more of the same. Even Aun faded in obscurity and being Reimus pet/dog didn't save her.

Then you have dancers who got hard cucked by ZUN who refuses to have them show anywhere.

And then there is Okina who is his current pet character.

Not much to explain.

Larva is just another generic fairy. Tokoyo no Kami will likely never be elaborated on/brought again. Golden era of Team 9 is long over and so is her chance to shine.

Nemuno is "I dont even know what youkai you are" with no connections to other characters. Will never appear again.

Aun - got introduced in worst possible time. Fought against a Shion in battle of "who is this generation fandoms darling". Shion won. Aun makes apperances as hakurei shrine furniture and fandom already is bored with her.

The braids girl - literally just part of Marisa harem. Only 8-9 years too late. Even Yuri fans don't care about her.

Dancers - ZUN refuses to have them appear anywhere. After all those years their biggest apperance is one panel in whale manga when they are mentioned. Which is hilarious given that Okina appears everywhere.

Why the "dancers"?

Nemuno is a Yamauba, a Mountain Hag. It's really obvious to me. She lives in isolation like the Yokai she's based off of, which is her appeal in itself. Gensokyo's idea of a Yamauba is much more benevolent than the actual Yamauba which is something that's cute to me.
You're right that Etarnity's Tokoyo No Kami stuff, but it's interesting to ponder about nonetheless. I wish there were more depictions of that concept, since the few that spawned are really neat. I like to think of her like a fairy for people who don't like fairies that much, since you can cling on to that.
Aunn & Narumi i'm not as into as others may be but I do like their good nature: Not that there aren't good natured characters in Touhou but these two feel especially good, not a hint of snark in them. They're pretty cute.
Ultimately I don't think it's that worrisome of a matter as i'm still able to find fun works for all of them since Touhou is still flourishing, but i've always raised the opinion that, from my perspective & what I see at least, there's always some sort of conditioning that happens towards newcomers to the series that makes them gravitate for the old, for abstract reasons at times, or other times sensical yet unfortunate ones. While the 1st Generation of Windows Games is indeed the most popular, and well, the 1st broadly accessible one, I don't think any of the games are all too overbearing to start with no matter which one: The worst may be the most difficult ones like SA, UFO & LoLK but I don't think it's that horrible. No mechanic is that overwhelming to understand, except perhaps PoC as the center of DDC and maybe the graze system, but PoC in general with how points mattered to get Extends in games like IN can also be a little obtuse, or while i'm on IN, the Focus/Unfocus system. That game is great but it's not the simplest thing ever, arguably more complicated than another ressource to get and another bomb of sorts like HSiFS' releases.
I would also make the argument that, moreso for EOSD more than anything else which might as well be Castlevania, the franchise may be more agressively eastern now than it is now, which doesnt as broad of an appeal, but again, with a bit of willingness, and god knows there is some in the Touhou fanbase, it can be made charming to all.
That being said, I'm not here to stop people from enjoying what they've enjoyed and advocating for it, but I will do the same for these games because I believe they equally deserve it, and i'm still content with the bits these characters get. There was a really cute 4koma bunch on Narumi recently that I really liked.

I don't really engage with non-ero fan works, but Aunn and Eternity get enough appearances in official works. Eternity is probably the second most elaborated character besides Okina because she has a starring role in Sangetsusei for a few chapters and even fought against Okina in the end. All Okina ever does is cameo for a few pages anyway.

Also yousei can be written as 幼生 and mean larva.
