Their opinions are inconsequential and should be treated as such.
And herein lies the problem Lilith. 'I don't agree with their opinions so their opinions don't matter'. Seriously?
Well no. Nobody should like stop liking My Little Pony, for instance, just because some vocal haters out there don't think they should.

Most people are talking about her previous threads and her many, many posts that showed a dislike of the site and anyone who thought differently from her.
Then you should drop dramas and not drag them into clean threads. You should just let things go and move on.

I really, really like touhou; it's a shame I was never able to find a version that ran on mac, or ran well (stupid graphical glitches -.- really useful, but make gameplay ugly and not worth doing) on my parallels setup. When I get my windows tower later this year, I'll probably give it another shot ^_^
Also, we have enough "parody" religions kicking around. Don't make me tell you that you don't actually believe this.
Good luck with that!

You can't tell me there is or ever would be a female touhou character as fat or as well-covered as this guy here:
Err, yeah. I don't mean to sound condescending at all. But saying that does show you don't know all that much about Touhou and are being kind of assuming and wrong.
Pretty much the only place that Touhou characters are sexualized is the fanart.
The female characters, are as well covered as that guy. Also, almost none of the official fanart gives any of them breasts. Most of them wear fairly ornate frilly dresses that covers practically every inch of their bodies except their face.
None of them in the official fanart are portrayed as fat. Though in the popular fanon or meme-dom, Yuyuko who is just posted is frequently portrayed as being fat.
I'm sorry, but you were mostly just saying incorrect assumptions there. While what you were saying is sadly true for a lot of the gaming industry. It is not correct about the Touhou games themselves. The 'Magical girl with a dash of Dragon Ball Z' was more accurate. Speaking of Dragon Ball Z. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ9q7ePu3NY] They official works, at the very least, do not sexualize the females any more than Miyazaki films do. Your criticism hits spot on of the video game industry in general. However, it is kind of ignorant to level that at the Touhou games, in my opinion.
Also, having no women present isn't exactly better than having sexualized women. To say that Team Fortress 2 is better than Touhou and should be more normalized than Touhou. No, I don't think so. The answer to the sexualization of women is never to make women more invisible.

What I and a few others are saying is that Touhou Project's overall aesthetics just aren't doing it for us.
Us? The entire site? Some people are telling me I'm being "dramatic" and "generalizing" to think that "most people" don't like and to stop assuming that people don't like what I like and that I need to go elsewhere to talk about it. Then when I post threads about said thing, like now, which I did in a light hearted, not rude fashion. People tell me "we don't don't want to talk about this. We don't like this."
I'm supposed to want to regret saying I want to go somewhere else, where people feel different from what you say. But I'm not supposed to make topics about apparently unpopular things. Either way I have to be assuming, to not leave or look for somewhere else because I think people don't like what I like. Or not make threads about things I like, because people don't like what I like.
I hope not everyone here, or even most people here, are so different from me. I'm well known for liking cute things for the sake of them being cute. And people liking something different from me doesn't bother me, but I don't like the sinking feeling, that while people can go on and on about how they hate cute aesthetics, "girly" aesthetic, Japanese aesthetics, anime aesthetics, or whatever. People would roast someone for talking bad about Western aesthetics. Like some kind of double standard. It has happened to me in the past.
