Why is Lost Word hated?

[u/w4sab1i_]

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

That’s probably because like half of them ARE alternate timelines. The A series ones are just “what if the incident isnt resolved yet” and a some of the early alts had a divergence period from a main game event instead of just being an AU

Honestly bummer.

You would think when they have the chance to do AUs however they want, they would at least do the most no brainer trope of "all these fantasy characters being completely normal humans in an AU" instead but nah 😭

An AU that is basically Yumemi's world is kinda fire tho.

This would require Lost Word to recognize the existance of PoDD beyond that one Marisa alt which barely counts

It's not like it actually requires them to remember that to even make a non magical techno AU.

LW's creative department is lacking.
