(Depicted: The Moriya Shrine's finest lore masters debate the true questions of our age) I have a habit of asking joking, incendiary questions on the Moriya Shrine Discord. They're meant to be funny questions, without any kind of ill will. I thought I would bring that back to the forums themselves, as a game. I, or anyone else, will post a question, with a set of options with reactions beside it. Choose the one which most represents your opinion. You can voice your thoughts in more depth if you would like, or include a Bad Opinion poll of your own! Feel free to join in the fun. I'll post a new poll the week after, and you can voice your Bad Opinion once again. To begin with, a callback to a topic by Sir I soon after I joined. Which is the Worst Character in 2hu? = Strongest Fairy = Reisen, but in a Hat = Patchouli's Nameless Slave = Rule 34 Fox = Goddess of Con Artists = Two-Panel Green Maid = Red Sanae

I personally think this is very solid:

i would be the penis monkey (refer below)

Would I have to be a girl? Cuz that would SUCK! if yeah then I would just be a half yokai like riinosuke and have some random special ability like know when the stocks will go up and down and become a billionaire

piracy is cool because free stuff

Piracy generally stems from 2 things: the price and the accessibility of the pirated product. In this case you ran into the latter reason because had they provided you with a good service that got you to the game you were clearly willing to purchase you would have. Of course, you must keep in mind that I am a European (is it now a European or an European?), and I encourage you to come to your own conclusion. A good rule of thumb to know whether people in general would consider pirating a product, whether that be a game, a book or a music disc, is the service. If Nintendo put their legacy games on a modern console and/or let people who own the legacy systems buy the legacy games, chances are people would buy those games instead of pirate them illegally. The price is also a factor, but that is because games are a very cheap type of luxury for the middle class most of the time... So when that class can't afford the game, like in Brazil where games on average cost a quarter of their minimum wage, of course they're going to pirate it because people are not going to pay that much for a small luxury. A combination of the two reasons would be people pirating movies. Netflix mostly stopped people from doing that because it was a relatively cheap platform that had a very large catalogue of basically every single movie under the sun. Then the streaming boom happened and those movies were now scattered around places, with each area being locked behind a monthly subscription paywall which, as you've likely already guessed, caused people to pirate movies again. You then also have the case of companies no longer providing support for the older games and making anyone that just wants to play those games pay for another game that has the older game in it in order to maximize profits; which in my opinion is companies overstepping their bounds and should be pirated, not bought, in order to send a message to whatever greed-infected being thought that was a good idea. Those are the good ways piracy is used, there is also a gigantic amount of rotten apples who just want free games without the hassle of actually working in order to buy them, but it is safe to assume that none of us belong to that group. I personally find that the work that has to be done in order to buy a work to be a part of the satisfaction of the work. I also pirate games if I'm unsure of whether or not the price they charge is worth the value I get out of it, with whether or not I buy it being dependent on my own judgment (largely favouring the company). But those are the reasons that I base the ethics of piracy on.

Hello, so long no seeing this site, uh? Im here to start a new topic with a question I always think about this question since i was starting to play some fangames. And now there is already so many discussions of this before but this is a bit different because how fangames works. Piracy in Touhou Proyect Fangames can actually be not good? But in my opinion, i actually got an awnser for this question... It depends on the fangame you are gonna to ilegally install. So one of the games i have installed was "Dangerous Patchouli, Moya no Tabi 4", and i think it's one of the games i think it's reasonable to install like this (as far i can say it softly). One of the most cute and go foward metroidvanias i have played. The thing about this is that, this game is made by a group known as "UTG Software" and realesed in a Comiket from Japan. First thing is that... yeah, OBVIOUSLY im not going to Japan to get it for sure (Or going to a Wierd Japanese site to get the game's disk). It not only be hard but also it would cost even more to do, so nope thanks... Or maybe i can go their official site and see if i have luck, some fangames have their official sites to download the game, MegaMan Maker is an example i could remember first. Fortunately, while exploring Nue Operation BigBurn's files (Another of UTG Software game) i have found their official site... All right, let's take a look, may it has more game to explore! (It looks like this) ITS COMPLETLY CONTENTLESS! I'ts actually kinda odd, it says that they gonna update the site, but it's still like this since 2021 (Not that far to be honest) The only thing i can say, is that there is, which i guess is a personal Twitter/X account from the leader of the group (I guess). There is no much to say here more than it's completly casual Twitter/X account. But there is still some more games who perhaps it have even worse situations than the anothers. Just gonna say the only one who i think there is no excuse to "no purchase it because it hard to get" are literally every Steam game (I don't have Steam so I didn't bother to search there). I you have enough money and want to play a fangame, GO get for it legally! May i can get most of the game if i manage to get a mastercard. I'm still a little man but it only take me less than a year to be a 18'er so who knows. But, what do you think about this, Fangames who are hard to get are fine to be pirated?

Hey! my name is Mr.Kitsune or Kit for short. I am new to the shrine, i've known about Touhou for a while but i've only become a fan of it in 2022. i haven't played too much of touhou but i have more of a interest in it's lore and characters. oh and btw i'm Icelandic! (the only Icelandic Touhou fan there is) I have an interest in music production and modding for Source engine games (it's suffering) my favourite game genres are FPS and Rouge-likes. it's nice to meet ya'll!

i did this at one of my fav restaurants, they have this chalkboard at the entrance for “hungry artists” as they call it, so i drew this on the chalkboard, gotta say it stayed until i sat down and some kid erased the entire board (even the cirno) and drew some big thing covering half the board idk what it was but i spread touhou in an unexpected way. i feel like spreading it to my school, how should i do that?

oh yeah update: i drew cirno on my desk for the next person to sit next period reminding them what’s in store for english, it was gone the next day but eh it was a success

Awesome pic! This truly Embodies the (Other) Scarlet Devil hehe. Would love to see more in the future! Keep at it!

I'll spend it like I do every year: Loving Myself... wait don't take that outta context!!!

Wholesome succubus, will you be my valentine?

I didn't see anything insisting we be a particular sex so I think you can be whatever you want. I think people chose a female character due to that being the "Touhou Standard". Anyway I am curious as to why it would suck in your opinion. This is actually a topic I enjoy so it piqued my interest.

ty don’t question how i made it but i made it

omgggg that's so cool!

i don’t know wether to laugh or cry

hello and honor to you, kitsune. Its always good to find fellow touhou enjoyers on this earth. Us touhouers are of a rare cut of cloth and we gotta stick together. Could you share some of what your music is like? Would be cool to hear what the great minds make

I think it's "a European"

Which one do you think I should choose? xD

Going to add these and others to an album when less busy. But thought you'd all enjoy them. Have not hit my gf with the froggy line. May buy her a teddy for her collection and flowers instead.

Just gonna hit her with this line: She does not play 2hu.

penguin

oh and (it's supposed to be a music note)

YOU ARE SAYING THE WORDS FROM THE GOSPEL HERE! I wish I knew some 2hu friends irl. I work at some office job so its all full of old farts that probably never heard of 2hu. Once I met some people though in the office that knew about anime and I took my shot asking if they ever heard of 2hu. They just made a "huh?" face and said they never heard of anything like it. I was thinking when I beat Th11 in lunatic, I'll put a picture of the score i got in my office... not sure if i should do it...

probably. I think there might be more people who are into touhou out there that we actually think, but i have a theory that it might be cuz touhou is relatively a niche thing, so is more more possible that people around you don't know it
