Suppose they use CG in commercials, or would there be Yukkuri actors/idols? The bright-eye'd and badge'd yukkuri looks alot better than the begging but undamaged gutter trash.
Yukkuri actors, methinks. People are suckers for cute things. Besides, there would be huge numbers of yukkuris anyway. A few of them should be smart enough to learn a few lines and try to act cute.
It's the terrible living conditions, the desperation, the poor yukkuris trying to survive against all odds in a cruel, uncaring world. It's that the fact that even though these homeless yukkuris live on the brink they still fight amongst themselves for trash and worthless badges instead of banding together.

I suppose you could also compare people torturing yukkuri in the streets to those irritating teenagers bashing homeless people with bags of change. Passers by don't do anything to stop either.
^^Yeah, only those teenagers aren't only "irritating". Worthless motherfuckers who initiate violence against other sentients or animals are dangerous sociopathic bastards anyway.
This, do you feel some sympathy for those homeless people getting bashed? I thought you were a heartless human being? People passing don't do anything to stop it... are you suggesting that something should be done?
Not really, I'm simply pointing out one more area where humans don't give a damn about eachother, for the same reasons people don't give a damn about yukkuri welfare: they are viewed as worthless. On that note please leave your personal infatuation with me in one image. I had thought you'd be an interesting study, but it seems you're just another attention whore.
Discussions have gone to great lengths to come to the near unanimous conclusion that a human society in general would see them as trash. The SPCA wouldn't help them, laws wouldn't protect them, disgruntled or even bored creative individuals would kill them in nasty ways, and the world at large wouldn't give a damn. Did somebody steal your username? You spend much of your time here typing about how literally mentally retarded they are and wanting them all to die, and here you say they make fine company for the sole purpose of contradiction.
^ I think that's called a "trolling attempt", but w/e.
anyways, I find the Yukkuri position in such cases as interesting. People rate them above normal animals due to their minor intelligence and reasoning (as well as the ability to talk), but far below humans, putting them at the spot of Demi-humans, which one would think would allot them at least a few rights on par with that of a mentally retarded human.
I'm not trolling. This entire website is one huge trolling attempt at the Touhou community, which expected yukkuris to die off many months ago.
Like I have said again and again, they are the missing link between animals and humans, or not a link at all but an example of something that shows some intelligence and degree of sentience but still not enough for us to embrace as deserving of human rights.
Sun, you see what i mean by you have "loser" attitude?
you say yukkuri is good for pets and companionship which is contradicting yourself
the only thing i could deduct from you saying those is that you only say that to further against all of "This" argument no matter you really agree or not with thing you pointed out, you just simply against all of those
and look, when "This" saying you contradicting yourself which is you cannot deny you never admit you wrong but instead pointed out other thing to cover it
CMIIW, but you wouldn't unconsciously not answers "This" statement if you did can answer that
and one last thing, not to offend you or anything i just see what i see you ARE an attention whore
To contradict myself I would need to say "I love yukkuris and really hate to see them harmed." Usually when I speak I speak for myself, so when I saw they are worthless I am saying I think they're worthless. But I could certainly see how someone else would keep them as a pet. And you only need to look at my series The Degradation of Marisa where a human does care for a yukkuri, enough to visit it even after it's been thrown out.
But in the end my views are always changing. One day I may say I've had enough with the violence. Granted, I won't make a popular politician, being labeled "flip-flopper" and all, but I don't think there's anything wrong with continuing to think and changing your opinions as your view of the world changes. I'm not an old man who's stuck thinking the same thing all the time.
> so when I saw they are worthless I am saying I think they're worthless
Which perfectly explains all the fanart and stories you do for yukkuri. Surely, a worthless thing is worth spending that much time over.
Of course, I'm only mentioning this in the spirit of fun, as this applies to at least partially to most people on this site. Just replace "make fanart/stories" with "translating fanart/stories", "editing fanarf/stories to their own devices", "discussing the very mechanics of yukkuri, somehow creating being that make less sense than the original image", etc.
Well... good point. That's another reason they aren't worthless- entertainment value. In fact, if they were real I would launch a campaign with the goal of conserving yukkuris.
"Every day thousands of yukkuris are tortured and killed. That's all fine and good but... what if they run out?"
*Scary music plays*
"Please, help us ensure that future generations know the joy of torturing yukkuris."
Ok, you didn't deny the "unconsciously not answers "This" statement" part and just answer now after being pushed to answer so that's pretty much is a justification or you just realize your opinion changed now but oh well~~~
i agree that yukkuri IS worthless but in the practical sense as for anything else, of course they are indeed useful(for releasing stress, satisfy bloodbath desire ect ect ect)
btw i love that degradation of marisa story, waiting for continuation ;)
"Ok, you didn't deny the "unconsciously not answers "This" statement" part and just answer now after being pushed to answer so that's pretty much is a justification or you just realize your opinion changed now but oh well~~~ "
I can't respond to this because I have no idea what it means.
And now that I think about it yukkuris are worth more than I originally thought. For one, they're a huge source of food. We can solve the world hunger problem by gathering up yukkuris and shipping them to Africa and other poor countries. There the yukkuris will spread like widlfire and people can just pick them up and eat them.
4th wall break here, but necessary, as even considering discussing that a fiction character could help solve a real-world issue is sickeningly indulgent of you. That's like writing a comic about Batman fighting Al-Qaeda, or Captain America stopping the Holocaust.
Have you seen the Iron Man movie? The movie dealt with terrorism and was very close to Iraq in the beginning and that was a stark contrast with the original story, which was set in Vietnam. Vietnam is of course a serious point in American history. Fictional characters grappling with real issues: it's more likely than you think!
^And Frank Miller is actually writing a book about Batman fighting terrorists, and Captain America did fight the Nazis in WWII. I'm not saying it's unlikely, I'm just saying it's dumb. Iron Man was also arguably a generic if not mediocre film.
Well, when I said "dealt with terrorism" I meant in a comic book way.
Much of this site shows how yukkuris would function in the real world. Rape and unwanted pregnancy are real issues too, just like homelessness and poverty, and artists love indulging their sick fantasies. It can't all be munch munch happiness and easiness.
Basically, yukkuris can only take it easy in the fantasy world of Gensokyo, and even then not always due to their stupidity and arrogance. In the real world they are susceptible to the same problems as everyone else.
Again you completely change the subject. >>In the real world they are susceptible to the same problems as everyone else The above, if in reference to the comment propagating this debate, leads to you stating that people need to fear being unwilling sent to Africa to be eaten. Since that obviously isn't what you believe, the statement has no connection to the debate at hand.
It's worthless in the same way that all fictional things are worthless. Yukkuris are a big "what if?" and I'm simply taking that one step further and seeing how they really could impact our life.
But in the end, yukkuris are still yukkuris- they will never be anything but dumb arrogant beasts. It's rare, but homeless people can rise out of poverty, thugs can become saints, blind people can become artists and deaf people can be musicians.
While I don't agree with the whole aspect of how western worlds can end world hunger if they want to but "just doesn't choose to", there is actually a fanfic that comically state how yukkuris are the saviors of the world.
Yeah, they are sending lots of money to undeveloped countries, but I guess they expect corrupt officials to steal most of it. The problem is that just throwing money won't solve the root of the problem. Also, in the end everyone benefits- more trade partners, less conflict and terrorism, more vacation spots, etc.
i think it's not a bad idea to imagine and think whatever we want including the potential to use yukkuri for some world scale helping but discussing it too deep would be mediocre
i myself don't really want to imagine these thing more than imaginary ideal abuse object
That's the problem. You can give a man food, but if he has no way of getting food himself, you will have to give him food until he dies. That's why you can't "fix" world hunger as long as corrupt officials and wars keep existing.
But yeah. Now I know which fanfic to translate next. It's a short one so it'll be up later today. :p
I'm not naive enough to believe you can resolve issues just by giving things to people. Not everyone can be a CEO or brilliant scientist, but at least this way no one will have to starve.
~Yukkuris Around Town~
8. Singing ReimusAt sunset, I found a yukkuri Reimu parent and child singing on the sidewalk.
As I watched the Reimus singing side by side, a commercial for yukkuri food came on the LCD TV screen in a nearby shop window.
Noticing the commercial, the child Reimu slowly began inching towards the television.
On the screen, a gold-badge Reimu was eating delicious-looking food and taking it very easy.
The little Reimu gazed at the screen as if she were dazzled.
Was she admiring the Reimu on the screen?
Or was she lamenting the gulf between the Reimu on the screen and her own surroundings?
Not noticing that her child had stopped singing, the mother Reimu kept on singing her song.Yukkuri FoodYukkuri Food EX
