Reimu
Her popularity has suddenly dropped off a cliff... Why is everyone so mean to this lovely shrine maiden? Also Reimu thread.

because she's a boring character that's been outdone a long time ago. i'm 99% sure that if she weren't the face of touhou she'd rank below top 10.
she's shoehorned into everything because she's ms. touhou and has to be present in 99% of everything touhou related, her personality is haphazard yet still somehow comes off as unappealing in most of her appearances, only heightened by the fact that she's totally overrepresented. the slow passage of time only erodes her character further, makes her less likeable, less easy to sympathize with, etc.
and even if you don't care for her canon portrayal, her fanon portrayal is the same old mix of either racist, poor, dumb rude cunt, or whore, which got old 20 years ago.
there was a time when reimu was well liked because of her own merit, but she lives in the shadows of other characters now.

She used to be number 3 for me but FS's ending made her drop hard. I like ZUN advertised Reimu (honest with her emotions, impulsive, a bit aloof, treats everyone with the same mild disinterest), but she just feels so inconsistent between manga.
Marisa will remain the superior protag.

I saw Reimu at a grocery store in the Village today. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.
She said, β€œOh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was β€œHuh?” but she kept cutting me off and going β€œhuh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen bottles of sake in her hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like β€œMa'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually β€œto prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each box and put them in bags and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I have to be super generous to CDS' story for this, but I think I might position CDS Reimu as the most conflicted one? Like, once she storms the underground, she's pretty deadly and Crimson Slasher-esque (I'd say maybe the closest to the game version in that sense) but before that, she does some vague investigation that doesn't really go anywhere. She learns what's going on from Yukari, then unlearns it when the artists change, so she can slowly relearn it from Hatate, the Myouren crew, and Satori over the rest of the story. I'm only able to make this work if I headcanon that she struggled with knowing what happened to Mizuchi for a bit before figuring out her solution later.

To me, Reimu feels completely aimless, there's nothing she wants to find, nothing she's trying to do, she has been completely reduced to her occupation. Her fanon personality has become a mish-mash of jokes and stereotypes, while her personality in the official works is as bland as ever, both almost veering into self-parody.
There's very little keeping me invested in her. The closest we've come to a revelation about her purpose, about why she exists at all, is when CDS reminded us that there were other shrine maidens before her, which everyone already knew so it failed to have any sort of impact on Reimu herself.
The only way I could care about her is if she becomes more pleasant to those around her, starts having actual opinions of her own, disconnected from her job, maybe picks up a hobby or something so it doesn't seem like she's in stasis whenever something big isn't happening, and maybe ZUN hints towards something like that fan theory that Renko founded the Hakurei shrine. That would at least connect her to the more immanent parts of the story.
But worst of all, she's hit the wall

The problem is it didn't amount to anything. What's the point of trying to give her personality and then never bringing that up again? I think this is why people used to give Reimu a pass, they saw various traits being attributed to her and hoped they would become permanent. They didn't.
I also think having to bring up the printworks to defend a 2hus personality is a problem in and of itself, they're secondary to the games. I've never seen, for instance, Marisafags have to bring up anything except the games to justify why they like her. And that's before we consider that Reimu's personality isn't even consistent between the printworks. If Reimu's supposed striking personality only appears in one printwork, it's the printowork you like, not Reimu.
Anonymous No.49946776
>>49946526
Agreed. To me, Reimu is whatever the current manga or game requires her to be. She has to fit the current mold made for her and it makes her feel all over the place.
>>49946661
She has personable moments like this, which I wish she had a lot MORE of, since we rarely ever see her liking anything, being interested in anything, hell she's even barely interested in her friends. Other characters aren't much better in this regard, but lots of them have interests that they bring up frequently enough that you remember they have them. How many Reimu fans know that she spent many sleepless nights reading novels of all things? Even then, the whole novel thing seemed to grip her for only a short while, and after that, she was over it.
Reimu frustrates me. Making her appealing isn't rocket science, she just isn't allowed to be.
