This is how he's always operated. I think it'll be extremely funny if this is actually enforced at all.

Part of the perceived level of sternness is due to the language of "prohibit" and whatnot, which while meaning the same in Japanese, the flavour it imparts is essentially "I am not allowing you to do this" rather than "you're going to jail". This is the same kind of text you'd find on any other doujin work forbidding unauthorized reproduction and so on.

Lt Colonel Summers:
It isn't just official Touhou games that's affected by the "do not spoil the ending" rule.
Fangames also have the streamers (usually) cut off their streaming immediately before the ending. Heck, even games that are directly inspired by Touhou (Seihou, Nansei, Barrage Musical, and even Len'En) have their respective fandoms respect the rule with utmost seriousness.

Lebon14:
Western gamers are quick to forget games like Persona 5 where Atlus pretty much banned anything past a certain in-game time... Which pretty much amount to the same thing with Touhou but only the endings and music room.

Do I agree with it? No, and I never did. But if people want to respect it, that's okay. Also, people need to realize that you can see all endings by reading the translation patches......... Which is helpful for people like me that aren't into the games.

Chill Observer:
Friendly reminder that information regarding spoiler-related content is readily available on the internet - for example, do a quick search on Touhou endings on YouTube. It is pointless to even try and enforce such rules.

The posting and viewing of spoilers, as long as it is marked, is fine imo. This should be up to the viewers' discretion - it is all on you if you decide to step into spoiler-related territory. If you are clicking a video titled "Touhou 16 Endings", the title alone should be telling of what is in it before you even click it. It should not be to the extent of being prohibited to show spoilers even if specific viewers wishes to spoil themselves. This was something that made zero sense to me when I got into Touhou.

Most people who I know don't really care about endings etc. in the first place. At least, that's the case when I saw Twitch/YouTube streams. It probably is exactly what you described for Niconico streams though.

I'd understand a first-day no-spoiler policy rule, but after that, there's no point.

Drake:
1) Discussing endings is fine, it's the contents that are requested to not be posted. Why post the contents of the endings when you can already discuss it, especially under spoiler tags? In the same vein, because similar arguments are used, why would anyone need to stream the music room? The one requiring the most effort to avoid is streaming endings, and even that's trivial with at least OBS.

2) This will in all likelihood not be enforced (if so, minimally), and it shouldn't have to be. We as a community should be able to police ourselves with a decent level of respect.

3) Saying that you can already find the ending contents isn't a reason to further enable the spread of it. Trying to get rid of all instances everywhere has never been the point (and similarly for music room uploads). This argument without any further depth applies equally well to e.g. piracy, where because you can easily find it already there's no use in trying to stop it anywhere, which is obviously silly. In fact, I think having the endings being available to find elsewhere already is a good reason for trying to prevent its spread, as the fact that you can find it if you want should be enough for anyone interested, and nothing further is ever necessary.
