Nope, Minoriko's the younger one, which always struck me as odd. There's a pattern of having all the younger sisters in a pair be the stronger ones (at least in terms of gameplay levels).

Yuugi, so I can legitimately say I went up against awesome physical power. Nobody'd blame me for losing against her, and I might get a drink or two out of the bargain.

Hell, bring Suika into the mix. Sure she's the definition of little girl, but at least then they can play this while I'm getting my rear end beat.

It was in 2011, some group on /v/ decided they didn't like littleshimp because she posted funny comics with no naked people so they stalked her around the web sending death threats. She closed all her accounts and asked danbooru to ban her art so they'd have a harder time finding her again: https://web.archive.org/web/20110130005547/http://kakspoosh.110mb.com/danbooruemail.html

In my earlier post I referred to littleshrimp as "her", turns out I was getting him confused with a *different* filipino touhou artist who got trolled off the internet by /v/ :( nah it was correct the first time, looks like

I sort of half-heartedly follow the artist formerly known as Littleshrimp. He/she/it has a fairly bizarre sense of humor, but an nice "intuitive" understanding of the characters that I find interesting. They completely ignore fanon and just go with the impression they got from canon material and end up in a very different place. Desiredriven is probably one of my favorite fanworks even though it doesn't really have anything to do with Touhou, technically.

Oh, so that's where i've seen their art before. Is that game worth playing? The character portraits look good but the game itself looks like it could be pretty bland.

It was said earlier but it's by a dude named littleshrimp who's both a) funny and b) not creepy, and whose work has very little relation to the giant ugly beast known as 'touhou fan canon'. So naturally they get poo poo thrown at them.

Edit: That'll teach me to leave tabs open. I blame this thread for forcing me into this mistake, and so demand good remixes as apology. Get to it.

It's not really a game, more like a visual novel. Long "story" segments punctuated by bizarre puzzles that only exist to serve the story segments. And the characters aren't really Touhou characters but merely based on them. And it's all translated into some weird chatspeak thing.

So, uh, I can't really give an unqualified recommendation. But I liked it.

It's based on Homestuck, for anyone who hasn't played it but was thinking about it. The puzzle sections won't make any sense unless you've read through that and a lot of the jokes are very Homestuck-y.

I knew it was based on Homestuck and i've looked far enough down that rabbit hole to understand the setting and stuff. I just thought that because it was a crossover between Homestuck and Touhou it would be kind of bad. Those two series have some of the more creepy fandoms i've seen but apparently it actually has good characterisation or something. So i'll probably look into it at some point, when i've got nothing better to do.

Her tumblr has lots of sketches of Murasa humping people and in other places generally being sort of a creep, so I don't think "rapist" is too far off even if it's not quite correct. It comes across as more absurdist than creepy to me, but I'm not going to tell anyone else how they should feel about it.

Given how she's reacted on Twitter regarding certain recent news stories, I can almost guarantee she isn't intending to depict rape, or make rape jokes.

Or maybe it's an artifact of a younger sense of humor, god knows I made jokes I wouldn't dream about making now even a few years ago.

I thought so too, but looking around it seems that the people who claim to have interacted directly with littleshrimp refer to him with masculine pronouns. Too bad the internet has eliminated any hope of getting a solid answer on this one.

Lilshrimp (who last I heard goes by "Cap'n" now) is cool and also a girl I am like 99 percent sure. She responded to some Skype messages once and was super cool and nice and gave off zero creepo vibes. Pretty sure she just things words like "nookie" and "smang" sound funny.
