That’s why I asked. Maybe when I glanced into the fandom and made this face what I saw was just thirsty weebs putting the child characters in maid outfits and assumed that was just the standard thing there.
nahh touhou is really cool, the fandom has parts that suck and parts that give you the best friends of your life, stories that are p*do pandering and stories so good that can leave you crying for an hour, it’s immensely huge and a big point of touhou is self expression so you can find basically anything touhou related
Please tell me that this is just the bad side of the fandom making bad fanart/fanfics and not yet another “this franchise is really good as long as you ignore the creepy parts that are creeping on children” situation.
the franchise has absolutely nothing creepy on children. It actually has nothing creepy on adults either (which actually constitute the protagonists of the series in fact!), none of the designs are sexualized at all in the first place. It’s hard to even find cleavage. that is if you stick with canon works and with places that have reasonable fanon works like dynasty works. if you go to like… nhentai, where you have to set 30 blacklist tags to not be a creep, then yeah there’s lots of touhou stuff for creeps sadly…
TOUHOU IS CONSERVATIVE???
oh my god I do not want to know how the person who thought this interpreted it
The entire thought process was probably “lolis are in it”.
But Touhou also showed up on the transcore games meme lol so
there are literal canon trans characters in touhou
also the “lolis” are just kids, none of them are sexualized or treated sexually in any way in canon material
Aren’t a lot of them maids? Even without the fetishy connotations, isn’t that a sort of cutesy child labor?
Not… really? I can’t think of a kid character who is also canonically a maid, there’s maid fanart of everyone cuz that’s just a popular trendy thing
