how edgy

it's autism, dude

Totally not in a coma rite guise?

Creating fiction about other fiction - how meta.

Does your mom know your up late being edgy?

Someone post the Reimu schizophrenia picture.

>>14175007
no

I thought it was Sanae.

>>14175111
You mean the Sanae in the chair in the room?

Why does EVERYTHING has to have someone create a theory about how it's just a figment of the character's imagination because they're crazy/in a coma/dreaming/etc?

Even things like fucking Scooby Doo and Ed, Edd and Eddy.

No it's of a baggy eyed Reimu and the accompanying text says something like "the next Touhou doesn't really happen- it's just in Reimu's head"

>>14175138
People will do this when they liek stuff enough to have it a lot on their mind.

Sanae has brain damage as a result of tertiary syphilis!

>>14175138
Because of stories/movies like that.

you nerds didn't actually read all of that shit did you?

Because people relate to fantasy through what they know. Everyone knows their own, normal life, so if you try very hard, most fantasy can be seen as an extension of your normal life.

So if you are a person with a little bit of imagination, but not a lot of experience, you might think "Wow, this fantasy scenario looks like a distortion of something more normal, and that's unusual!" You might also think "What would cause a distortion of normal life?". The way mental illness is portrayed in most of the western world appeals to these sorts of people (it's portrayed as taboo/edgy, that it somehow makes people special, that it is associated with extraordinary abilities), so "this fantasy scenario is a result of mental illness" is a result that's rather easy to come up with.

And then, of course, if you were the sort of person to come up with that idea, you might also be the sort of person to think that it's somehow original, and also be the sort of person who gets on the internet and posts your stupid theories all over social networks.

I only read the first line until you mentioned it just now. I went back and scanned over it.

How unoriginal do you have to be to copy the plot twist of Saint Elsewhere for your own conspiracy theory?

>>14176111
Makes sense.

there is nothing to discuss

There's no evidence for it. Its never stated to be a mental hospital. You could that "Earth" is the name of a mental hospital and we're all just in a coma.

Gensokyo *is* linked to the mental state of humans. Its home to everything they believe is real but isn't. Its a physical illusion. But it isn't a mental hospital.

The stupid theory about girls wearing hats being obligatory because of Gensokyo's customs makes more sense.
