>that has more to do with the distrust of Keine.
Are you going to say the villagers distrust Keine now? The person they're perfectly content leaving their children with? Come on now.
>It shows they are using the gods.
Do you understand what faith is? It's an exchange.
>Most likely knowing Gensokyo collapses would increase their desire to wipe out all Youkai

>It's explained that youkai or humans spreading outside world knowledge become popular for a while, not that the knowledge is popular for a while.
Akyuu gives the particular example of football and mentions that has become popular lately. It's talking about fads.
>Because it's impossible.
Holy fuck are you autistic? where does Sara look for the ball first? The human villagers know this: Outsiders can go outside the barrier somehow through the shrine, since they're the ones who bring the outsiders there. That means there is at least one way to go through the portal. If a magic user like FT really truly wanted to leave Gensokyo, you would think that in all of the story we have of Gensokyo, we would get at least one, even if throwaway dialogue that sounds like "I tried looking into going through the barrier", "I found out us humans can't break through the barrier so I decided to join the youkai instead", "I got rid of one human who was looking into breaking through the barrier", "I asked the shrine maiden if she could let me out to see the outside world for a bit but she said no" or ANYTHING that would indicate anyone even thought of going to the outside world. We don't. Ever.
I also have yet to hear you tell me why FT specifically set his scheme up for him to come back to Gensokyo as a vengeful spirit to hide in the forest by adding notes to his book instead of staying in the netherworld as a ghost. As yet another reminder, the Netherworld is not in Gensokyo, and as a ghost he would probably have a chance to go check out the outside world since ghost fear is still very real to this day.
We have one account from someone who is even more obssessed than the villagers about the outside world and it's Rinnosuke. The second he realises he's outside he freaks the fuck out and hopes he can make it back. He doesn't even want to open his eyes at first, he's so terrified at the prospect of being locked out of Gensokyo. And this is the guy who's sole hobby consists of studying outside world stuff.
>b-b-but he's half youkai!
He's half human too. But it doesn't sound like he's interested in seeing the outside world to me. And it's Rinnosuke we're talking about.
>Wrong
Latest CoLA chapter, have a read. New lore superseeds old one.
>Because he's using a anonymous identity.
Are you seriously saying Yukari could not figure out who he is but Aya could? With all her zashiki spies?
>They are not born to help humanity.
They are born out of a desire from humanity to receive blessing.
>She was public enemy number of people in charge, not random villagers.
ISC specifically mentions notices being put up everywhere about her, and in tengu newspaper which are distributed in the village
>Did the villagers know they are Youkai?
>nothing implies they knew they were Youkai.
Holy fuck you ARE autistic, if you add on top of all that the fact all the participants are screaming we're totally going to kill you guys enough for ("settle for 'scaring them practically to death' at worst) I actually had a look. There is not a single chance no one knew it was youkai from pic related forward
>Suika is gigantic so highly visible
>undeniable youkai appearance (see reaction to villagers seeing her in whale they can tell at a glance)
>Yukari calls it a "crowd pleaser" meaning they can definitely see her and reacting by cheering
They are still cheering after this. You cannot say it's impossible from this point forward. It's from the last round of danmakus, the chapter right after the takeover. Chapter 5 since you won't read the whole thing.

Let's not mention PCB's intro calling it a Human Paradise as well from a narrator pov ie not opinionated, but I'm willing to forget about it for you because it's pretty old and paints a different Gensokyo than the one from recent lore, even if it happened around bohemian's release. For another freebie, let's also forget the entire PMiSS village article made after Bohemian where it says human open their store up just for youkai at night for the same reasons. Just a few concessions from me.
