Usually, yes. This is also how I usually use the statement. But at the same time, I've also seen people argue that "there are no politics in Touhou" whenever a discussion is brought up, which is just not true.
Crows and Ravens are the smartest birds among all birds. They are also trolls and likes to annoy others lol I am not surprised seeing this, japanese decided to create a yokai from these birds. The wolf tengu came from china. Only the crow one is japanese. But, it is nice ZUN put both tengu species together. The two species share lot of similarities. Both crow and wolf, live in pack and also smart too. Tho, only crows are trolls lol
They do have wings, you can see them in some characters' portraits. But they can hide them when they want to blend in with humans, so they aren't always visible.
How does economy works in Gensokyo? If there are politics and hierarchy. And Reimu keeps asking for donation means that money there is important. and Eientei charge for their (illegal) not approved by FDA overpriced drugs.
Gensokyo is a very small place, only about a few miles across. So there is no central government. The human village provides most of the economy through feudal bartering. There is no FDA. People simply trade for the things they want.
@@MegaFrog The tengu is, with their caste society and all, but Gensokyo as a whole? The Humans seem to live in a community rather than in serfdom. Many notable individuals seem to live on Gensokyean land, without paying any form of property taxes or providing a service to a higher being(state, king, lord, god in this context,). For there to be feudalism in Gensokyo(or a centralized government), there has to be a more powerful individual or corporation that owns the land and landowners and actively enforces a tax code and tariffs. And as you said it yourself since they rely on feudal bartering(or just barter) of goods and services(Capital), with varying degrees of value from person to person. Good luck taxing, that as a higher being, a non-stable currency( Stable monetary mediums may include salt, gold, metal, or better plain old money. May wary from place to place). Taxes in this context could be plain old Capital or an “offering”. But humans and yokai alike seem to be doing this for favors, such as good harvest, hunting, battle, and maybe luck, or just for charity. Nobody seems coerced or forced/ threatened, into giving out. Unless you want to take a more realistic spin on Gensokyo as Zounose did? Oh, and Btw I forgot to ask this in 【東方】The Cosmology of Gensokyo. I know that this I a bit rude, but since I have your attention now I might as well ask :). What is the canon source for the "Lunarian weapons" part, all I ever got researching this was "Lunarian STRONK!!!". Thank you, in advance Edit: some embarrassing spelling mistakes
Lunarian super weapons are outlined on page 147 of Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, and they are visually depicted several times in Silent Sinner in Blue.
So wait if I was a person with crow tengu dna then would that mean I would have to obey the great tengu who is cannon in the touhou project games aka the boss of Aya and Hatate?!🤔🧐😳🤨
Can you clarify what you meant by "politics in touhou"? I'm still pretty new to the series and definetly was not expecting this series to involve politics in any way
ZUN does occasionally use the series to talk about his political opinions. The official print work "Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia" is a criticism of Japanese media, and it parodies many real-world news articles that caused a stir in Japanese culture. The realm of heaven is an analogy of gentrification, as Yukari states that heaven is not truly full as they claim it to be, but rather it's a hive for the rich and elite to live their luxurious lives. Hell is an analogy for the US, characterized by its brutal "dog-eat-dog" nature (hence why Yuuma lives there, as she is the leader of the eagle spirit clan, she wears red white and blue, and she's a glutton who feeds on oil). Usually these politics are up for interpretation, but a few of them have been confirmed in outside interviews.

I thought the beginning was going to be an add for a vpn or something.
Not yet lol, my business email has yet to be tainted by mobile games and VPN companies.
2:14 Astronomically BASED ZUN.
awesome educational video as always! thank you very much for that
What a great channel and excellent and educational touhou content.
Keep going man.
Also you have a new Subscriber here :D
i've seen this so many times, something about the intro just gets me up in the morning
Aya can make bank if she becomes a chef.
When people say “keep politics out of X”, they usually mean “keep propaganda out of X”.
Usually, yes. This is also how I usually use the statement. But at the same time, I've also seen people argue that "there are no politics in Touhou" whenever a discussion is brought up, which is just not true.
Thanks man for this
love these videos man.
Amazing video as always!
I like the subject choosen, you are doing a better work of news reporting that thoses mainstream kappas, they are only for the techs after all...
You could say that the tengu _wing_ their writing.
also you might want to move your end cards I can't read the text at the end lol
Woops, didn't even think about that! Thanks for the notice!
up and coming best channel in the 2hu community, keep doing what you're doing man this is great content
Bengu.
Crows and Ravens are the smartest birds among all birds. They are also trolls and likes to annoy others lol
I am not surprised seeing this, japanese decided to create a yokai from these birds.
The wolf tengu came from china. Only the crow one is japanese. But, it is nice ZUN put both tengu species together. The two species share lot of similarities. Both crow and wolf, live in pack and also smart too. Tho, only crows are trolls lol
Love this
Fun fact : pretty sure crow tengus don't have wings. Tho it doesn't seem that important for ZUN since even lotus eater aya has wings
They do have wings, you can see them in some characters' portraits. But they can hide them when they want to blend in with humans, so they aren't always visible.

Touhou is anarcho-monarchist
What
So wait if I was a person with crow tengu dna then would that mean I would have to obey the great tengu who is cannon in the touhou project games aka the boss of Aya and Hatate?!🤔🧐😳🤨
I mean, Hybrid of a human and Tengu would have be seen as blasphemy in Gensokyo.

@@MegaFrog Ah ok, thanks for the insight. Thankfully that doesn't sound quite as extreme as I was worried it would be.
Oooo ^_^
