Though I do like what ZUN did for all the years he compiled into one of the best all-time wikis, the Touhou Official Wiki, until I see one added species into the Bestiary. He did a decent job with the definition of that new species, but the new name itself already coined by my RP archrival over the past half-decade with his vision of the whole Touhou universe causes me to re-think my perspective of Gensokyo as a whole. No matter what universe that fairyland wants to portray and the huge drawback on humans in particular depending on so much with technology is like branding the human race with such a bad reputation. Along with my archrival’s continuing crusade against that with empty threats and playing the victim type on a near constant basis, I felt wholly offended by it.
For ZUN himself, this seems somewhat reasonable to a degree through a “devil’s contract” by key citizens of the original Gensokyo in charge minimizing the abuse only to empty threats and pranks by the occasional youkai or fairy from time to time to protect humans to that extent. In Davide’s vision however from my experiences, his extreme faith in nature and the fairy race abolishes all manner of diplomacy in favor of eternal wartime. So all new visitors in the NS Gensokyo no matter what species unless he himself thinks of that species in question as worthy to the Family’s cause is considered dead, if they reveal possible taint in the slightest or escape, they ‘d track them down to the ends of his creations until they’re surely dead by any means possible. The same inevitable result is true for any of Davide’s RP members going rogue and are psychic in tracking them down whenever someone witnesses their brutal actions such as torture camps. Both universes do follow the “spellcard” traditional rules, but every time Davide has to go to battle or making a statement, he has to be on the frontline along with his most loyal followers and suicide soldiers, usually singing long death anthems against his RP enemies and even passerby innocents with only natural instruments, and occasionally an orchestra. They can even sing during battle when they get desperate, whenever they won or lost, and when reminiscing with others.
To me anyway, it sounds like I'm almost being forced to cut off diplomatic ties with not only the Gensokyo of NS like I already did that a long while back but also our own Gensokyo too (which I yet to declare). If I did that, it would render me unable to RP with any of our Gensokyo's inhabitants over such a trivial adding of what is now "Outsiders". While my RP archrival kept using this term a whole lot, even adding a secondary “filth” or “scum” word to his RP enemies all over the regions he visits defining as "anyone outside of his Family", which roughly translates as anyone NOT fully native to Gensokyo from birth. In Davide’s point of view, he wanted all of Gensokyo in all dimensions to be ruled by him and his fairies with a tiny oppressed human minority with almost no civil rights, whereas in ZUN’s point of view, shrine maidens are the ones in charge and fairies as well as youkai are always kept in check. Since I’m not an emissary anymore, such cutting off of ties with our Gensokyo here just simply won’t happen.
All I really wish is that none of our Gensokyo friends will start calling us like that and keep it that way. I'm also hoping that other Touhou fans won't go around and spread the whole new term nonsense, otherwise I might have to make a reaction non-canon strategy fangame if it starts to grow out of control. >.<
