I still cant get how people can actually love a selfish and egocentric character... She doesnt care about anyone but herself and doesnt worry about anyone but herself lol She even doesnt want to do her work i mean the real reason she does the work is because it annoys her most of the times: 6) Mist... i dont like mist i dont care if you want to get out of your house
7) I want the winter to end i dont care if you are trying to free the soul of an innocent girl
8) I want the night to go on like always i dont care if you are trying to protect the princess or help reisen
9) For the first time im going to actually do my job (not) I'm going to fly arround watching the flowers
10) Oh noes~~ less faith for me means less donations i dont want another shrine over here
11) Uh nice termal water... this is weird my work says i should look it up to see if there is anything strange about it.... but termal waters will bring more people to the shrine so its fine to leave it be And then yukari forces her to do the job
12) I want money
Just read at her during the games... she doesnt do stuff cause its her work... she does it cause it annoys her

I know i know
But im used to fans of anything overlooking the mistakes or making it better than it is...
Reimu: Easygoing Lazy Armpit Shrine Maiden Selfish Egocentric Unfair But she stills hold parties for gensokyo So people forget about the selfish egocentric and unfair part and you get just an Easygoing, lazy, Armpit Shrine maiden that makes parties for gensokyo ------- Its the same for me with marisa i sometimes forget about the fact that she just sparks her way and steal stuff

Han Solo, 'nuff said.
People can love selfish and egotistical characters because their other characteristics make them endearing to the audience. Often they're badass and don't fall for the obvious traps and setups of the more goody-goody heroes often do. There's probably hundreds of reasons and examples.
WillieGR said: And THAT's what we love about these characters. Change then, and nobody will like them anymore.
Says you. World is full of unpleasant characters and they certainly should be present in any fiction, but I really dislike them being the heroes. I wouldn't mind controlling in the games someone who wasn't a total insensitive, cold prick with no human motivations.

People can't stand those characters because of their redeeming qualities. HAHAHA, it's funny really. Reimu haters always say the same thing about her... pity. Ah well, that's their opinion so whatever. I still really like her, and all the others as well.
The majority of Touhou characters are selfish, egostical bastards anyway. I mean you got a kleptomaniac witch, a fairy that freezes frogs for fun, a hungry ghost that steals the spring, a nurse lady that sabotages space missions and steals the moon for her shut-in friend, a grim reaper that sleeps on her job, a god that moves in and decides to force everyone to convert to her religion, a raven from hell that decides to take over the world because she misunderstood what said god told her to do, not to mention other characters like the one tengu that has a newspaper that's basically the Gensokyo equivalent of the National Inquirer, a drunkard oni, and a nocturnal lady that could destroy Gensokyo altogether but doesn't probably because of the lulz. What makes it worse is that they all basically solve all of their problems through violence--even the less bastardly ones like Nitori and Koishi.
Willie: People can't stand those characters because of their redeeming qualities. HAHAHA, it's funny really. Reimu haters always say the same thing about her... pity. - Do you even read before talking? I wont bother to much answering to this but what i say is people forget about the negative stuff of the things they love and start seeing at some point something "bad" as good I find you to be pity since you cannot even see the bad parts of reimu... Or go and read what i said about the touhou games and say its a lie... she is selfish and doesnt give a fuck about anyone -------------------- Now moving to kaito i think you are doing a small mistake... Everything that lives have some selfishness and is egocentric to some point. The reason i hate reimu is cause she is 100% that. All the characters in touhou do stuff for some reason, everyone always do stuff for some reason.
-Cirno is just being childish she doesnt enjoy the suffering of the frog but rather playing with it without even thinking about if the frogs suffers or not. (Child)
-Yuyuko didnt knew she was the one trapped under the tree and she was just trying to help someone out. (Helping)
-Eirin was doing her duty protecting the princess or its homeworld (Duty)
- Aya feels like its her duty to inform the people in gensokyo about what happens arround (only newspaper?)
- Well.. Kanako yes she did it cause she didnt have almost any belivers left in a desperate attempt to gain people D: Dont god die if they dont have any beliver left?
And so on they have a motive to do stuff
So do reimu... but in the games people have to realize she doesnt do it for her job... no... she does it because it annoys her...
About marisa being kleptomaniac... it grown from a joke to an illness in touhou11 you see her trying to steal from the shrine just because even though she knew she will be in troubles after that She needs help already =/
----------
Also why people think reimu is a genius... She is has a natural talent for fights but it was never stated that she is actually intelligent. In fact it was said that marisa is the hardworking that is somewhat inteligent.
(still isnt the smartest of all yukari?)
PD1: Yes english is not my main language PD2: People need to learn to see the bad parts about everything you cant just go arround and think its "perfect" since such thing does not exist
I have one thanks But i still think you need a brain... i mean a human brain not a monkey one

Danbooru is for pictures, not walls of text trying to push personal opinions onto others over the internet, yeah?
And the comments are for talking about the picture or answering other comments (if not there wouldnt be a quote button) and if you see its all talk about reimu at some point
Kabi said: and if you see its all talk about reimu at some point
Not when you know, the picture doesn't even have to do with Reimu. Seriously some one dare says "loveable shrine maiden" and you go off the handle basically saying what? Reimu should be hated or something? It's just an opinion.
Hey guys, guess whose obnoxious, pointless, and incomprehensible rants just earned him another -1 to his record? I'll give you a hint: it's now a -12, which suggests he needs a change of tone. Now.

Im sorry did i touch a nerve? Did you feel insulted cause i say something bad about your favorite character?
My personal raiting is what i get for trying to fight the stupidity in the people.
Why is it pointless? and incomprenhensible? where? i tried to explain myself in a simple way Yes there is a point in my comments as i stated before, im trying to make people realize that stuff is not as perfect as they think
You know what i see here in danbooru? If i say something bad about anything it starts OH NOES HE SAID SOMETHING BAD ABOUT MY FAVORITE SHIT I MUST FLAG HIM AND INSULT HIM. I bet if i said something bad about Aya i will only get 1/4 of the people attacking me since she is not that loved.
My low rating is for saying this:
Lucky star is bad unfunny and im sick of it being everywhere Moe =/= cute please use the word in a correct way Reimu is overrated look at her negative points too.
And 1 i think it was because i say cirno doesnt melt
BTW this:
BlueMaster said: Kabi needs a life.
is a far more pointless comment to give you an example. And actually helps my prove my point that people insult at you when they dont have a comeback of your comment
-----------------
BTW why people cry over walls of text when this is the "comments" part if there is any problem with that there should be a limit but there is not
Granola said: Your many negative records come from you not shutting up. Once you've said what you want to say, don't respond any more, the above is a great example why you need a timeout like a kid. Danbooru is not a soapbox for you to express yourself.
You think your views get you in trouble, but its really your stupidity.
btw your walls of text are kind of unreadable.
1) you answer then i will answer since i dont like to end it in the middle. I thought that comments are made to express yourself lol
2)"my stupidity" i wont answer to this since there is no point in trying to prove that im smart or not
3) really? Usually all the people can understand me even the ones from other countries where they dont have english as main language too IF you care to point my mistakes i would gladly fix them next time
As a note, when everyone in the board jumps on you, it doesn't necessarily make you a sooth-sayer, fighting a corrupt system. You could just be an idiot, trying to explain why his opinion is somehow more logical, as if a variety of tastes were somehow an impossibility.
Reimu isn't my favorite either. It's Cirno, Suwako and Remilia. And Cirno looks so darn adorable in these strips. I just wanna hug her, even if I get a few frost burns... ouch, but yay.
Kabi has been given a four day ban. I've had his comments on watch for awhile now after the last blow-up.
I would ask that: 1) Kabi, please stop bringing up how much you hate Reimu at every single opportunity. And stop the text flood. You've managed to make a lot of people annoyed and your "me vs everyone" behavior is far too much like trolling at this point.
2) Everyone else, please let this rest now and as long as Kabi acts in a more reasonable manner if/when he returns, give him the benefit of the doubt. I'll be keeping his comments on watch.
The only decent people in all of Touhou (either genuinely good or at least neutral) that I can think of are Akyuu, Shikieiki (she may lecture but its because she genuinely doesn't want to have to send you to Hell), and Keine (Mokou is debateable as she has done bad things but its hinted she regrets them and she helps others when possible; her only current black mark is her unwillingness to end the feud with Kaguya).
All theses comments remind me of Persona 4's spoiler scene. x] Either way, Reimu may have more or less bad ways of dealing with problems but that's just how she is. Kinda like Duke nukem, shoot first ask questions later. Like, in the old days, Reimu was Anti-hero style and with all the goody two foot heroes in rpgs nowadays, im pretty sure that gave her popularity. Also with her armpits of course but that's another story.

How could you forget about Sanae? She's a good girl.
That's some bullshit Kabi wrote. I just LOVE playing ant-heroes in games, it's very interesting to do things in villainous way. You can get booooooored with good guys as main characters. Reimu feels like real character, your everyday normal person. She has her bad and positive sides. And resolving things because someone is annoyed is just badass. Well, she IS worried about incidents and complications, she just don't show it. She grinds her teeths and do the job. That's more admirable than showing off good guys. She isn't any way as villainous as Wario (fat, greedy jerkass, throwing his opponents - often smaller - into walls or just grinding them into ground, basically helps people ONLY because it was coincidence) or Rance (serious rapist, which don't give a fuck about most people - he just pass them or kill them, if they stay in his way. Also, idiot). You know, when in FF III you hear legends about Dark Heroes, which fought off Good force, because it was endangering world - I instantly though it would be awesome game to play as THEM, not some childrens which happened to be good guys.
Painiac deserves a medal! Seriously, thank you for that.
Reimu really isn't evil as everybody says, as her actions might be questionable, she really isn't really the worst person around there. She may beat up people, but that only because she's the one of the few who successfully has won most of them, more than half of them were her opponents threatening her! (It's like how fanon treats Kirby, making him more of a violent glutton, instead of just a regular glutton).
If you think about it, she's actually nicer than you think:
As the pillar of Gensoukyo's barrier, and having an Unstoppable attack, she can beat up anybody while literally be untouchable, yet she made the spellcard rules so they have a chance to can Beat. Her. Up!
She might act mean to the various Youkai that visit her shrine, but she could have might as well immediately kicked them out, not to mention that most of them are a bunch of moochers that practically lived there. She's a tsundere, no doubt abut it!
She's sort of a Animal lover, so she can't be that bad.
In fact, almost everyone in gensoukyo can be considered both 'evil' and 'good'.

Gensokyo is a land of magic and lovable assholes. Isn't that what makes it special?
Yeah, I think soThere, there.Marisa~Have you seen any melancutie children around here lately? Reimu says "kawaisou", which means sad or destitute, but uses the kanji for "kawaii", cute.I thought she was trying to get a present...?
