>ZUN himself compared in-game dialogue to wrestlers threatening each other.
I know the quote you're talking about and you've misunderstood - probably because you don't actually know where it's from and have just repeated something you read - ZUN refers to the girls talking with each other, say when Remilia boasts about her fate manipulation, not what they do to people, so if Rumia says she eats humans it's because she does. But that doesn't matter since the claim is grossly outdated, all the way back in 2003, and has been disproven in LoLK where Junko's threats are real. This point is bad.
>You wouldn't know it was grim if you only played the games.
First of all I never claimed the setting was grim, you did and said you hated it, continuing with that my point is that the games and the printwork have the same overall tone, some being more lighthearted like say 7.5 and other like 11 with bigger stakes, same way the fairy manga is lighter than CDS.
>You asked why I liked Touhou, and I answered. Nothing weird here.
But fanworks are not Touhou, they are fanworks.
>I did. The games are fun.
If you only care about the series for its gameplay why are you even in a thread literally called "ZUN and canon".
Unless, of course, you gain knowledge through osmosis like that incorrect use of an outdated quote.
>What does this have to do with my post?
NTA, but it has to do with the fact that the games have the same tone as those "crappy manga".
