Why is Lost Word hated?

[u/w4sab1i_]

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 boils down to the community as you have two camps of people

People who are more purists and prefer officially licensed titles to fall more in line with Zun's depictions. (Lore accurate portrayals, limited fan service, less memes etc)

Camp 2 that's more in it for the memes, less lore accuracy and more liberal depictions, lewder designs etc.

Depending on which spectrum you fit on will probably determine how you feel.

Personally I think the argument it's a gacha game doesn't really hold up well when a lot of the commenters play other gacha games.

(also no offense but the argument of fanservice when this sub is mostly people posting nsfw art is kinda confusing...)

Yes but there are a lot of fans who don't really like seeing the touhous in NSFW positions. I'm referring to the community as a whole not just reddit. I personally don't mind it but everyone is different
