Well that took a while.
I'm actually not 100% sure about everyones placement on this chart, actually, i think anyone from 4 to 25 can easily be switched around, and looking back on it, kaguya and komachi could be a little higher, i may have been a bit too hard on koma here.
One character who used to be alot higher is Yuyuko, i used to like her quite a bit, but her story in SWR made me start to hate her. Alot of the reasons why i used to like her became reasons why i dislike her. In SWR she knows that tenshi is behind the incident, and could have easily told Yukari and ended it all right there, but she didn't, and instead spend the whole day spreading snow everywhere for no reason but for her own enjoyment. It isn't just that game where she's guilty of being utterly selfish, she once tricked yukari into allowing her to see Sukia just so that she could beat her up just to serve a grudge.
And after the eternal winter incident, when she sent raymoo and co to go convince yukari to fix the border, she outright REQUESTED them to beat ran up, probably for her own personal amusement!
With all of this in mind and the fact that she clearly knows what shes doing, it becomes clear that she sees gensokyo as a toy to play with. It doesn't help that she is a shell of her former self, she killed herself because she didn't want to hurt anyone with her powers, but now she has no problem with causally killing people. (Yes, this is true, she tries to poison eirin for shits and giggles in one of the ghost team's endings in IN, and has no reservation trying to use her power on mokou, she says "Oh, I can invite humans and youkai to their deaths just for curiosity" rather causally in PCB)
There's character development and then there's character regression...
You might think i'm a hypocrite because i like Seiga and Sejia more despite them being just as bad. But the thing is, they are honest about how evil they are and don't try to hide it, you kind of accept them being dicks, where yuyuko i'm constantly surprised by how selfish she can be.
And on top of that, the fandom has a huge misconception that Yuyuko is one of the "niceier" toehoes, when she is just as vain, manipulative and selfish as the two i just mentioned. This annoys me.
I'll admit to having similar problems with Eirin and Yukari, but they don't bother me as much because they at the very least have goals other than "Be a selfish dick", Eirin wants to protect Kaguya and help the moon despite the fact shes been outlawed. And Yukari (probably) cares about the well being of gensokyo (In a fucked up way, sure, but at least she's not below doing selfless things like sliping in some money in the donation box in that one chapter she was in, in the three faries manga, dont remember sorry). Yuyuko doesn't care about anything other than the Netherworld, and even then she hasn't been see doing anything for the well being of her home unlike yukari, however i will say that she does treat youmu better than yukari treats ran and eirin treats reisen, so theres that i guess, too bad everything else isn't enough to save her.
TL;DR actively dishonest about her true nature as a selfish matriarch who does nothing to help anyone other than her self.
So that is why she is so low. Sorry for the rant.
(HOWEVER, i do like to keep a open mind about things, so if anyone wants to convince that she isn't THAT bad then i'm all ears, i would love to hear what you have to say, just try not to derail the thread too much, PM me if your that worried about derailing the thread.)
Other than that, i don't give a crap about pc-89 characters. And fuck Tenshi. Rich bitch.
On the positive side, Youmu is badass but also cute and a really somewhat incompetent dork at the same time. Mokou is badass and surprisingly sympathetic despite being slightly psychopathic. And Marisa is Marisa, do i need to explain why i like her. Otherwise its seems i like "trickster" characters (Mamizou, Nue, Yukari, and i guess Kogasa.), old ladies (Mamizou, Yukari, Byakuren.), and oni (Sukia and Yuugi).
Other random reasons why i like some of these characters:
Mamizou: Basically Yukari but less of a dick and more interested in helping the little guy than just smugly manipulating things from the shadows.
Sukuna: I think she's cute, and......i like her childish personality. Yeah thats it (I don't know if she should be that high.)
Sakuya: Good design, badass fighting style, also she is supposed to be the perfect maid but she once opened an window in outer space. Which is funny.
Actually looking at this i realize that i have really, really simple reasons for liking characters, and complex reasons for disliking characters.
Funny how that works out.
