Truth be told, I really think it's the simple fact that the artist is American.

I dislike it because of how it splits from canon and generaly accepted fannon. I hate the weeabooism on this site as much as most people but simply because it's american doesn't make the difference. I hate the artist's interpretation of cirno and dislike most others. The only good one I think is Yukari.

Because people don't like this culture and don't like it getting put in their Touhou.
Because Touhou fanboys literally only have their fandom to sustain their boring, pathetic lives, and anything that infringes upon their perceptions of it, especially western culture, makes their tiny pea-brains catch fire with rage
@ultramar: Or maybe they hate when someone puts garbage on a site which supposedly is to serve high-quality imagery, hm? Them blasted fanboys, that's completely unforgivable and unthinkable. How dare they.
Seriously, though: Touhou idealizes beauty, while this series revels in ugliness (unsurprising, considering the physical appearance of the average SA goon). It is kind of amusing, but, as Wypatroszony pointed out, hardly 'high-quality anime art'.

Grow the fuck up and get over it.
High quality imagery you say? Let's look at the most popular posts for the last three months.

Eh I don't mind the art style. I think as long as the style is consistent and there isn't anything too derpy with the picture, it should be fine on danbooru. Especially if the comics itself is amusing.
Just my opinion, and I've seen much worse on Danbooru.
ThingOne said: The point is, claiming this is a website for quality images is silly when the top images are always porn, fanservice, and pedobait.
Your personal morality doesn't change the quality of the image. A shit drawing of a nun giving food to orphans is still badly drawn, a renaissance painting of a little girl being raped is still made with skill. This is an art site, not a morality index. There's classic art by world famous artists that feature sex, naked children and even rape. Why can't all the galleries just have childrens' drawings of Barney the Dinosaur in instead, right?

This isn't a matter of personal morality it is a matter of content. Classical art features sex, naked children, and rape but there is always far more to it than that. The "art" on Danbooru has no content; The sex is there for the sake of sex, the rape is there for the sake of rape, and the pedophilia is there for the sake of pedophilia. The most technically skilled wankfodder in the world is still only wankfodder. Comparing the two is stupid.
I don't see what the problem is with this pool. I think people are just being tight asses about this artist being American and screwing with the standard fanon. Then again, the entire cast can range from sweet orphan hugging saints to raging lesbian rapists bent on riding anything that moves so I don't see the problem with portraying them as anything else but. That said, Cirno as a stereotypical Italian is fucking hilarious. Still waiting for Yuugi as a stereotypical Russian. So come ooon guys, just chill and enjoy the stupid Touhou shenanigans like we always do. And if it isn't to your liking, at least stop trying to ruin it for everyone else.

UGH, this TRIPE offends my delicate sensibilities. Parody? How DARE THEY. *uploads 51 pages of Touhou fanservice and moeh, is a pedophile*

Well, like a respectable man once said, "It's my fetish; respect it."
I don't see problems with loli moe fetishes unless they are real human beings, but i mean... what IS your argument?

Far more? Like what? Give me one example of how it's different rather than just vaguely implying things you assume are true because you're not thinking for yourself. I hate to break it to you, but there's no more depth to a painting about rape just because it's really old, or pictures of naked kids or pictures of gratuitous violence. The stories they're often based on were just cool stories at the time, not the classic epics we think of them as being now. The anime of the time, or the airport novels of the time, if you like.

I find this pool equal parts hilarious and horrifying.
But regardless of the artist that really doesn't excuse the quality of some of the stuff, so please don't assume people complain just because something's drawn by a guy from the west.

I hope you seriously aren't trying to compare anime porn to renaissance works. I don't think 99 percent of whats uploaded here can even be remotely compared to renaissance work.
And of that one percent, next to none of it is related to what we have for questionable/explicit content.
While there is the argument that most of what is "classic" today was meant for mainstream consumption, comparing what is arguably the best of the day to things posted on danbooru, I must repeat again, is folly.

Are you seriously trying to compare old European porn to modern Japanese masterworks? And I say again, it's got nothing to do with morality. You can't say it ONLY has nothing to do with morality when the skill is great, because that amounts to saying "Get really good at drawing and THEN we'll let you draw rape and CP". Also, do you even know why renaissance art is considered good or is it just something you're saying because "it is known"? It's like when people talk about Shakespeare in some revered way and yet have never read a single play of his.

Maybe you should try to reason out what another person is saying rather than letting your emotions get the best of you, since you are really bad at reading comprehension.
I didn't even mention the issue of morality or allude to it, but I'd imagine you wanted to bring that point -anyways- so you just tried to fit it in.
Also, why do you feel the need for personal attacks? They make you look like an ass.
