/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Normally, when that cruel, childlike desire to torment an animal takes hold, the litmus test on this sort of thing is "does it have feelings?" and/or "does it have a soul?"

In real life, people can't even agree if the human soul exists. In the fantastical realm of Gensokyo, this is a much easier question to resolve. We can just see if dead yukkuris show up to ride in Komachi's nice boat.

Of course, I'm convinced that most of the arguments that yukkuri abuse is for the greater good are simply trolling to prolong arguments. Generally the more reprehensible the act, the more AWWWWWWRIGHT people will claim it is, which, I suppose, is also mostly trolling.
