ZUN already had his "I got surprised by the depth of history of these characters and some troublesome ones started to move on their own" thing from the postscript of Symposium of Post-Mysticism. But it's nice fro him to make it extra clear.

What do 400 year old little girls have to do with Freemasonry? The high school thing is a mix of target audience for such media being highschoolers and the fact that highschool tends to be kind of peak of individual expression in Japan for most. Occult symbolism is tricky because it can be something or the equivalent of 16 yo metal kids scrawling pentagrams. Of course they carry an energy signature, but not all people understand what they are really about or for. I'm gonna need a bit more than that to convince me that ZUN is a freemason.

Gensokyo is a spirit world that is a manifestation what would in Western terms be called Neptunian and Venusian energies. Of course me and lesbians are going to fall in love with and goon silly style to something like that. Gensokyo's nature is beatifully reflected in it being a doujin franchise, it's an imaginative, beautiful work of art (full of women) that is also "dissolved", open, free for all to use within the limits of certain terms.
It's the Neptunian half of it which is of great interest. I mean, Venusian things are very nice and pleasant, but Neptunian energies are extremely powerful. They can be delusional, narcotic and dissolving, but these energies are like a cosmic ocean that saturates all of reality. It's no coincidence that Tibetan Buddhists have an "oceanic lama" as their leader, despite being a landlocked country. It's no wonder some call certain types of mystical experiences "oceanic states". It's not wonder the classic metaphor is "the schizophrenic drowns in the waters where the mystic swims".
And if you can swim without sinking, it's profoundly purifying and healing. It's in an ocean where Izanami conducted the first misogi after becoming perturbed by the death of Izanagi. The fact that this gave birth to the ocean kami tells us it was not an ocean of water. It's the holotrophic reality which Kasulis' wrote about, where a single thing reflects the whole, like a fractal unfolding. Returning to that cosmic ocean purifies and heals, restores us back to wholeness and leads us back home. It's this reason why so many feel nostalgic and homesick for Gensokyo even if they come from a non-Japanese culture.
These energies might even be the latent consciousness of the universe itself. It might be Kobo Daishi Kukai's sixth element, mind, which pervades all of reality. In the Dainichi Nyorai Sutra, it's said that the every metaphorical pore of Dainichi Nyorai, the consciouss universe, is "full of countless oceans". And just as the individuated mind can manifest basicaly anything in it's immaterial aspects, so can the cosmic mind too.
Gensokyo most likely exists only in wholly immaterial sense, but it is real. It's just something far wider, stranger and weirder than most can even imagine. There are times and places where you can better interface with it, but if your heart screams loud enough for it, it will hear you and find you. What happens from there on out is entirely up to you. Some become completely raptured by it's Venusian beaty, some become moved to become musicians and artists, and some can see and feel that there is more to it than just beauty and escapism.
This sort of cum vampire thinking (maybe the whole "gapped" and eaten by youkai thing) is just a manifestation of anxiety over misaligned sexual energies. Every straight man lusts after women and simultaneously fears losing their indepence to their bewitchery, fears losing control of themselves and their libido. I can't say the fear is entirely unjustified, but living like that will twist and warp you and make you unable to interface with certain energies and facets of reality. There are higher and lower, healthier and sicker forms of love and lust. Energies can be purified and transmuted.
There is a reason why (You)r dick responds so strongly to modern day equivalents of nymphs and muses and dakinis and apsaras and goddesses. Explore that reason to it's very root without fear or anxiety.
