everybody is futanari in gensokyo, they have to fill up for the lack of notorious males outside of Rinnosuke and that Turtle that we don't know where the fuck it went.

Don't forget the FIRST BOSS of the entire series,Shingyoku. Although Shingyoku is more of an "it" in my opinion,since it's apparently a sentient shape-shifting disc that can turn into a male or female.
There's also Byakuren's unseen brother,the two Lunarian guards from Silent Sinner In Blue,Unzan,and finally there's Iwakasa although Mokou killed him to get the Hourai Elixir by pushing him off a cliff. I also recall Iku mentioning some Celestial leader with a male-sounding name in one of her victory quotes from the fighting games.
I blame the fandom for that, disregarding I may joke about it,...and ZUN for not making more male characters that aren't backstory, sidestory, mentioned by a Touhou or Unzan...
I personally wouldn't mind "male" Touhous pulling out spellcards and such, specially since the yurifandom in Touhou is worse than the Nanoha one and that's saying A LOT considering how bad the Nanoha one is.
Hell the only way to pair up Touhous with guys is to crossover and you may have to bear the "righteous" rage of yuritards.
Of course my data of the games stopped with UFO, if new male characters showed up in the games after it, you are free to correct me.

To be honest, I just block most of it all out, it's easier that way than arguing with some idiot who thinks that their favourite couple is ironclad, and if you think otherwise you have less right to exist than small pox. Shipping leads to madness and death.
And on the subject of male Touhous, I think we don't see more of them is because ZUN can't draw guys. Hell, he can barely draw girls!
You guys do know that zun himself knows about the "everyone is gay" thing in the series and finds it funny. Thats why hes done nothing to dispel it. So get over it, it's not going away.

Thats not why they rage, crossovers are shit to begin with, let alone the shipping ones.

I'd imagine thats the original reason considering some of the characters from the first game are arguably male("arguably" indeed since you can't tell what gender they are), but now its more of a purposeful defining characteristic and charm of the series.
Crossovers aren't shit, you just don't like them, Touhou fandom actually likes crossovers of Touhou with anything, As Rule ⑨ says: "If it exists, there's a crossover with Touhou". The pairing is the problem, same way that non crossover pairings in Touhou are still a problem since people STILL go ballistic with those.
And it's not like we have a problem with the yuri, we just were joking about the lack of males in Gensokyo and that it would be nice to have some just for diversity, more wishful thinking than anything. My mention of "yuritards" it's just my general spite and dislike of Shippertards in generals, Touhou being mainly yuri, but I dispise them as much as the Yaoitards or the Heterotards.
Shippertards ruins fandoms, the Nanoha fandom was ruined by them, the Touhou fandom was partly ruined by them, being rabid and obsessive about some fictional character romantic life to the point of demonizing other fictional characters or make a tantrum if somebody doesn't abide to your pairing, ruins the overall fun of proper fandoms with flame wars and ship wars.
I won't have a problem if you pair Reimu with Marisa, I'll have a problem if you start flame wars, ship wars, trolling, etc. because someone "dared" to pair up marisa with "that bitch" Alice or that "useless whore" Patchouli, because it destroys my fun out of something as trivial as fictional romance.

It's not that I'm really bothered about it, it's the "fans" who believe that it's immutable canon that get my goat (not you Dano). It's a joke that's been beaten to death, and it isn't really funny anymore.

+1. Exactly how I feel about shipping in general.
Also, apologies Poweryoga. I guess I started this all off.
