Yeah, is it just me, or is bodied yukkuri abuse pushing it a bit?
I mean, when it's a fat, deformed head looking thing, it is somewhat acceptable since it isn't human-looking enough to be entirely disturbing. Obviously, it has a human-looking face, but beyond that, it's just a fat blob with a face. But when it has a body with arms and legs it looks a bit too human to me. I know, misshapen head and all, but considering body proportions, it's just too much and too close, and it starts to resemble actual guro, which makes me really uncomfortable.
No, not really. But only because bodied yukkuri are pretty ugly/deformed things anyways, like bodied Remirya (pudgy and disgusting) or Kimeemaru (twiggy or with an ugly face).
BUT WHY WOULD YOU SPIT-ROAST CHOCOLATE? IT WOULD ONLY MELT AND SPILL OUT ONTO THE FIRE AND WASTE THE DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE.
On that account, bodied yukkuris actually resemble normal babies more than many real deformed babies with diseases and symptoms, like the type where the head is shrunken and the top half of the head isn't here, making the brain visible from the outside. Which makes sense, since Makako's archtypical yukkuri Remyria basically acts like a baby.
However, it doesn't bother me any more than regular yukkuris, since I love them all dearly (except maybe Deibus and Alices and others acting particularly vile), but also appreciate different peoples' efforts and creativity. Hence I've no complaint against yukkuri torture, or the rape or killing of my most beloved Touhou characters, ect. It may not be my cup of tea, but people are free to express themselves, as long as they understand it's fiction.
