Hot takes
Vance_croowa_08:
Do you have any hot takes about Touhou Project, opinions that might be considered controversial or just uncommon? :cirnotan:
williewillus:
LoLK is one of ZUN's best games.
Likely a lukewarm or warm take nowadays, but definitely a flaming hot take when the game came out.
Stages 2 and 3 are kinda sleeper stage sections but outside of that every other part of the game is peak.

Was it that bad when it was initially released?
Felis-Licht:
Touhou should add more actual male characters to the games, it'd liven things up.
Sumireko was a bad addition to CoLA and ruined it. I wish ZUN never let her take over Rinnosuke's domain.
Velociraptor:
Allowing mobile games was a mistake. The obligatory freemium revenue model that comes with phone games has tarnished the series with the negative practices associated with mobile games. I'll admit they do tend to have more content than your average dime-a-dozen shovelware games littering every app store, but they still operate on shady marketing practices that feel scam-ish. This YouTube video explains the revenue model pretty thoroughly. Maybe what I'm trying to say here is I'm tired of hearing these games get a pass because they're Touhou. Looking behind the curtain one quickly realizes most are just F2P mobile games with a paper-thin Touhou facade to them.
Probably not what you expect to hear on a Touhou forum, but many concerned fans have voiced similar criticisms. Most people I've spoken with are not against the series becoming more mainstream and therefore 'commercialized', but these mobile games feel more like a sellout than a step in the right direction.
