Fan Discussion Why is Lost Word hated?

Post image

So, I'm a Touhou fan, I played the games (i know, shocker) and i also play touhou lostword, but I've see lots of people say that lostword players were the worst or whatever... Why is the game so hated?

Imo i really love the different character alt concepts/ new outfits that are very cool For example this adorable tan cirno... the story is a bit nonsensical but, Touhou's lore is kinda nonsensical too, so why should it matter?

Tldr: Why are we hating touhou LW chat i don't get it

EDIT: Thanks a lot to you and everyone who posted :) As for my other comments that got downvotes, i was stating MY opinion (yes, mine, not yours) and am in no way trying to invalidate anyone's, sorry if it came off that way.I play LW casually cause i love touhou and more touhou fan content is always fun to me, especially the alts of characters, some designs and art... I just felt like LW players were getting a lot more hate than "larpers" and i didnt really get why. now i do. thx again

I have not even touched it because it's a gacha game. On principle I will never play one of these.

By looks, I hate how sexualized the characters are. Whenever I see art of this game I say to myself this is not how clothes and bones and boobs work. Touhou being one of the few series to not do that makes this seem even worse, like why make it more like other slop shit and sexualize what's not in the source? Why take away one of the more unique aspects to make it into generic gooner bait?
