I'm always glad to see someone who sticks by a series for so long, and especially someone who sticks by a character for so long.
>so many people just don't seem to get her
Aside from everyone having their own slightly different personal interpretation, most people don't 'understand' the characters, even if they are their favorites. There's a large amount of people who base their favorites on hearsay, rumors or memes, which I feel is a shame.
Sanae isn't a bully by any means, though I personally don't mind her being portrayed as a youkai hater sometimes, if it's funny.. Her antics in Touhou 12 made too many people view her the wrong way, though. She's not malicious or hateful, she's just way overconfident and in over her own head, plus she likes to listen to her gods instead of doing her own thing. In most accounts we have of her she's a goody two shoes who means no harm and helps her friends. She's cocky, sometimes shady, but genuinely wants to help people and her pals.
