While I like it out of fun and kicks, I do dislike it if used seriously, and you know how the Touhou fandom can be, memes are sometimes taken seriously like if they were canon, reason why each fan may claim a certain characters is a monster and horrible person out of memes making them appear so, and you can apply this to every Touhou character ever.
TLDR: I don't mind the memes for fun, I do mind them if used seriously like if it were canon material.
Creticus said: I dislike many Touhou fan memes, but that's one of the ones that I dislike the most even though Reisen made for a terrible, terrible soldier.
So funny bits like lighthearted tea parties with your opponents after vicious duels are frowned upon, but GRIMDARK TOUHOU with PTSDing traitor moon rabbit soldier is A-OK?
Insisting that one's arbitrary "pick and choose" fanon is the ONE TRUE CANON annoys me a lot more.

Awww poor lil Yudonge, got lost in her way to show her gratituted to Eirin...
In b4 jokes about the Gratitude just being that the latest "incident" wasn't the fault of one of Eirin's Shady Drugs, so yudonge feels compelled to thanks Eirin for not being the reaosn behind the latest problem her master and other gensokyo inhabitants faced.

Ironically, in cannon, 'Eirins shady new drug' is the only one on the template that HASN'T been the cause of an incident.
'Magic' was the cause of Imperishable Night(which was caused by Eirin, but not because of a drug), and if you squint enough, you can say its (sort of) also responsible for EoSD, and PoFV. If you consider the 'special abilities' of the touhous to be 'magic'(For example, Suikas ability to manipulate Density), than its also responsible for IaMP and SWR.
'Yukari fucking around again' was partially the cause of PCB.
'Moriya Shrine Conspiracy' is actually the one responsible for the majority, directly or indirectly. It was the Direct cause of MoF , SA, Hisoutensoku, and the indirect cause of UFO and TD; Since the events of SA caused the incident in UFO, which in turn was partially responsible for the incident in TD.
and yes, yes, I know, "Templates like that are forbidden" etc. etc.
Indeed, but considering how those templates are probably ingrained in the gensokyans minds after so many incidents, they wouldn't realize how technically Eirin never used any shady drug, but you know how rumors go, they spread and at some point people assume them true.

This.
Can't believe I missed this. The reason that I believe Reisen made for a terrible soldier is because she fled the moon even though no shots were ever exchanged. Going by the descriptions in IN, the Lunarians were freaked out about humans on the moon, but it's doubtful that they even managed to make contact, much less fight a war.
Udonge - What's wrong? What are you doing here?
Yudonge - I got lost-gera...
Udonge - Lost you say... did you want to go to Eientei? Did you have business with someone?
Udonge - I wanted to thank the red and blue miss...Udonge - Red and blue... Master? But if you make another mistake...Udonge - It's ok. It's close, I will go with you.Yudonge - Thank you-geraSweets
