Everytime I see Mokou in Doujins she is depicted kind of tomboy-ish. Maybe not a super dyke, but definately more manly than other Touhous.

Why is that? If it is something from the game then since I've only played the English patched version, I couldn't really tell which part of her dialogue made her seem manly. Maybe something got lost in the translation.
Could some Japanese speaking anons confirm this? I mean was she all like 'boku' this 'boku' that in the original Japanese dialogues or was she trash-talking gangsta style to give doujin artists this idea of her being manly?

Look at her.
Look at that worker shirt with dem bands and braces.
She doesn't even try a charming move with her hands, just keep hem in her pokets like some sort of Fonzie.
She's manlier than most men.

And if you couldn't tell it just from the image I have a surprise for you...

Mainly because she wears pants. It's not very "manly" but when every other girl in the series wears a skirt or a dress, it makes her very distinct.

However, I remember reading that Mokou might wear pants as a status symbol. For Gensokyo's time period, making pants is actually harder and more expensive then making a skirt or something.

Mokou is from some noble house or something.

I actually think it's funny how 95% including myself "mistook" Murasa's skirt for a pair of shorts, and like half a year later ZUN notices and is all "Guys guys, sorry, I just messed up shading, it's actually a skirt."

And nothing changes.

WELL THAT'S TOO BAD

I prefer her to wear shorts anyway. It suits her much better. Also >>5583879. I mean really, who wears a skirt as a part of a working uniform? That makes no sense, at least not traditionally.

Anyway, it's not just that. It's more that, yes, even if skirts are worn as part of a uniform on ships they just make no sense. The wind is really strong and if you're gonna wear shorts under your skirts to prevent upskirts anyway, you may as well ditch the skirt.
Shorts like these, however, are both girly and serve their purpose. Perfect!

It was in the recent video interview that was being tossed around before. He doesn't quite say it like that, but when talking about the UFO character designs he does refer to what many believed to be Murasa's shorts as her skirt.

>>5583941
>Shorts like these, however, are both girly and serve their purpose. Perfect!
I agree to 100%

About the reason for the skirt though, I don't think it's only about the fear for up-skirt, but because the strong wind would tussle it around and it would be dangerous in case it got stuck in something. Like an anchor.

I don't think those officers in the Navy who can navigate through barometer, water pressure, wind parameter, etc to voyage their ship are that idiots not to notice such predictable flaws.

I think /jp/ won't read anything too difficult including wikipedia, so I will be brief:
the material used for skirts are the same with coat:
mesh lace with HEAVY coating.

I thought Mokou's pants were a sign of nobility, since they were so rare back in ancient Japan. I think I remember reading something along those lines.

Regardless, the tomboy thing seems to be an impact the design has had on our impressions of her. Like the way she has her hands in her pockets like many of us would associate with an aloof/"cool" person.

>>	Anonymous Wed, Jul 7, 2010 09:16:06 No.5584131 >>5584090 Alternatively, if the skirt is very wide it can fall between your legs like that without any wind at all, so.

I mist disagree. Just look at the lines near her crotch. Those hint that if these are not a pair of shorts then that skirt must be tucked pretty far in between her legs, and that does not happen very easily even if the skirt is very wide.

Alternatively: ZUN messed up at the interview and forgot that in one case out of 50 Touhous do not wear skirts.
