>Touhou 6: A vampire who wants to walk outside during the day covers the sky with a red mist
>Touhou 7: A ghost who wants to reflourish her dead Sakura tree by stealing spring just to see what will happen, and thus prolonging winter
>Touhou 20: A criticism against AI slop and misinformation overloading the outside world to the point of directly affecting Gensokyo and breaking the minds of those residing in it. And also there's a bit of government espionage involved in it responsible for gathering the data of those people but now there's too much so they want to stop it
How the hell did Touhou become less about the mythological and whimsical and more like convoluted modern world allegories? Even the new character designs reflect that. Older 2hus looked like dress up vintage dolls instead of failed alt fashion models
