Villagers have never been shown to be anything more than hopeless idiots blissfully unaware at worst, to kind and helpful people at best. It’s what makes the tragedy of them being constantly screwed over so bad.
And yeah no shit no outsider wants to live in the village permanently. It’s a 1860’s era Japanese village with no plumbing or electricity that’s like an internment camp, a fucking bombed to shit Palestinian child wouldn’t choose to live there

Like I said, dudes falling for the propaganda. Every single leader in Gensokyo is shady at best, next of kin to Tokugawa at worst. Not a word said by any of them is true, and they’d absolutely burn their objects in hellfire if it meant serving their goals.

>Everything we're talking about is background elements, you can't be selective. There are gods that help human acheive harvest just through prayer, free of any kind of charge, anytime they ask.
I mean, If you define background elements as being the main narrative thrust of the series yeah. Pointing out the gods exploit the humans for profit is like a main talking point in half of all Touhou media. Background gods that help the harvest are something we either barely see or is just vague background details. We barely even know anything about the gods to begin with.
>I sure see humans stopping tsunamis and other thing in real life.
Yeah, all those tsunamis that can happen in the landlocked Gensokyo that famously doesn’t even have a beach. Glad the gods are able to stop that shit.
>Better yet, Merry and Renko's outside world seem so much fun what with the lifespan quotas and all that.
The future world being a dystopian borefest doesn’t negate how shitty living in Gensokyo would be. I guarantee if you told the human villagers half of the stuff we have now in real life Japan, they’d jump ship immediately.
>And as mentionned,Miko says the humans have no desire for freedom, seems weird if Gensokyo was such a hellhole, huh?
Miko doesn’t have the full picture of Gensokyo, it’s been stated that the humans have basically had all the fight drained of them through hundreds of years of youkai interference, they are dumber and more complacent, hell a big part of FDS is about how little miss jailbreak is appalled at how pussy whipped humans have become. And one large part is that literally anyone that could be considered a leader among the humans gets taken out pretty fast, they don’t organize because they can’t. And y’know, there was one dude that tried to break control of the village… wonder what happened to him.
