I think maybe ZZ's reading too much into the little girls thing. It's like we're trying to hide the fact that the cast is made of young girls, kinda feels alot if Gundam fans would try to hide the fact that there's Giant Robots in it. I'd be happy about the fact that it tried to state a difference between loli H-games and Touhou, which seems to be pretty rare in about most write-ups about the game. |

I never thought the day would come when I would move a thread OUT of CirnoBoard. --- End quote --- What about my birthday thread? Wait, that was because I was stupid to make it in the Cirnoboard :V |

You guys pick too much at the "little girls" thing. Why is that? It's not like Touhou isn't full of little girls despite their age and class. And where are all the innacuracies? |

It's not like Touhou isn't full of little girls despite their age and class. --- End quote --- Speaking for myself: Stylistically, because the author flogs the "little girls" thing repeatedly, as if the reader didn't understand the joke the first few times. Repeating a not-especially-funny joke several times doesn't make it funnier. And on that note, a lot of Touhou fans have to put up with that "lol pedo" crap from other people as it is, so this doesn't help. Also, this: "Unlike most popular Japanese PC Games, Touhou isn't an Erotic Dating Game or a Rape Simulator" just smacks of the same tired, played out, "lol japs is weird amirite" joke that's obviously trying to be edgy and satirical but just falls flat. Taking just the facts of the article into account and removing the embarrassing attempts at humor, it's a passible introduction to Touhou. But the author tries too hard to milk one weak joke for more than it can give. |
