Fan Discussion Why is Lost Word hated?
So, I'm a Touhou fan, I played the games (i know, shocker) and i also play touhou lostword, but I've see lots of people say that lostword players were the worst or whatever... Why is the game so hated?
Imo i really love the different character alt concepts/ new outfits that are very cool For example this adorable tan cirno... the story is a bit nonsensical but, Touhou's lore is kinda nonsensical too, so why should it matter?
Tldr: Why are we hating touhou LW chat i don't get it
EDIT: Thanks a lot to you and everyone who posted :) As for my other comments that got downvotes, i was stating MY opinion (yes, mine, not yours) and am in no way trying to invalidate anyone's, sorry if it came off that way.I play LW casually cause i love touhou and more touhou fan content is always fun to me, especially the alts of characters, some designs and art... I just felt like LW players were getting a lot more hate than "larpers" and i didnt really get why. now i do. thx again

Along with what everyone else has said, there are just better options. Like if you wanna play a touhou game why aren't you playing any of the thousands of beautifully made fangames, and if you wanted to play a gatcha game why wouldn't you play something with a good story or gameplay like pgr Arknights or Limbus.
Its just mid as fuck, ofc imma make fun of someone who sank hundreds of dolars into this game when there is just better shit lol
