/jp/ - Otaku Culture

The fact that she's based on a shiisaa (literally translates to lion) and komainu (lion guardian), not a dog. The fact that she wears Okinawan clothes as a reference to the shiisaa specifically, since the shiisaa is a purely Okinawan cultural aspect. The fact that the komainu half of her species was compared to a sphinx (lion) by ZUN specifically. The fact that her spell card background is solely comprised of shiisaa (lions) and not komainu, further solidifying her traditional guard lion nature. The fact that she has magatama as ears, referencing her deep connection to the Okinawan culture, where shiisa (lions) originate, since magatama were primarily used by those in that region. The fact that she has more lion themed spell cards than dog themed ones. The fact that komainu and shiisa were specifically influenced from Chinese Buddhist art of shishi (stone lions) and that Okina, based on Matarajin, a Buddhist god, created Aunn herself. The fact that Aunn is literally from the Japanese pronunciation of the syllable Om, originating in Hinduism and adopted to Buddhism, primarily coming from Chinese shishi (lion) statues and their symbolic open mouth (a) closed mouth (um) depiction. The fact that she has never once acted like a dog in the entire series canon. The fact that she, like a guardian lion, is a devoted protector of religion. The fact that the 犬 (inu) character has another meaning of "spy", which is justly referenced in WaHH where it was heavily implied that Aunn spied for Okina, thus destroying the "muh 犬=dog and komainu literally means korean dog!!!" when it is well documented in old Japanese that the 犬, although being borrowed from the Chinese character for dog, used in Komainu referenced the alternative meaning of guardian or spy.

The fact that she's based on a doggo.

>>19719798
Nice fanon. Also, nice use of a Reddit/Tumblr meme. Really shows who the dogfaggots are. Get out, you don't belong here.

>>19715043
She wears neither a hat nor a ribbon nor even a bow

>>19719886
wan wan

>>19715043
She’s got green hair, which automatically makes her the best

>>19719896
The meme was always about head ornaments, not hats specifically. Aunn has a horn, like a lot of the older lion komainu statues.
>>19719919
Nice onomatopoeia never uttered by Aunn, who only uses "Au-n" as a reference to her lion statue heritage. Sumireko has also called Seiran's bullets suppositories, she's a stupid teenager. Stop being retarded with your fanon shit.

>>19719936
bark bark

>>19719886
Those are some words coming from a troll from /vg/

>>19719960
Nice sounds that never came from Aunn's mouth.
>>19719980
What is your post directed toward? You do know that the doggo meme did come from Reddit/Tumblr, right? Are you really on this website, on this board defending that kind of shit?

>>19719992
woof woof
he's probably mistaking you for moralfaggot since you both have the modus operandi of shitting up threads acting like faggots, but you don't greentext as much so I doubt it somewhat

>>19720003
There's only one person replying to multiple people per post and writing needlessly inflammatory trite on /jp/ and it's a worthless /vg/ import troll.
He'd leave if people would grow some brains and stop replying to him but i guess that's too much to ask for.

>>19720003
I don't think this post shit up the thread:
>>19719506
It gave the answer to the OP clearly. I gave an analysis of Aunn's design, showing what made it unique. I don't see what the problem is there, you're just being an offended doggofag who can't take facts.
>>19720034
So disagreeing with your shitty headcanons means I'm from /vg/? Kill yourself.

>>19720034
so you're claiming doggofaggot, moralfaggot and pofvfaggot are all the same person? m-masaka

I'm not sure this is a known fellow, I think he just blew in from stupid town during (and likely thanks to) the translation autism debacle.

>>19720100
Yeah, man. Facts are stupid and gay. Fuck ZUN and fuck 4chan, doggo4ever. I'm from Redd- I'm an oldfag and he is a newfag.

Because she's a cute doggly

>>19720189
The fuck is a doggly? Also, she's not a dog in canon. That's a fanon thing. I bet you also think Kyouko is a dog too.

>>19720152
>>19720198

>>19720212
How about you get out? What is my crime, answering the OP thoroughly and stating facts. Oh let me guess it's "autism". Don't you know where you are? Everyone here is autistic unless they're normalfag scum like you who defend shit fanon memes and use Reddit words like "doggo". It's time for you to go back.

>>19715043
Reimu's cute dog wearing shorts

>>19720261
Reimu doesn't own Aunn, Aunn goes to protect multiple shrines and temples. Also, Aunn is not a dog. Fuck off with your fanon bullshit.

>>19720261
Isn't it Okina who created Aunn?

>>19720305
Okina's her mommy!

>>19720275
So Aunn is a slut, then.

A slut doggo!

>>19720363
nice fanon

>>19715043
She's the best dog. Sorry Kagerou

>>19720388
Aunn is not a dog. Ran, a fox, is more related to dogs as a member of the canid family than either Aunn (a stone lion youkai) or Kyouko (a yamabiko). Why doesn't Ran get any doggo autism even though she's the most canon dog related character other than the wolf tengu and Kagerou?

The Doggington wants belly rubs!

>>19720754
Nice fanon, since Aunn is not a dog. Also nice Redditism. "Doggington" sounds fucking retarded. Go back to your wasteland of a website.

meow!

>>19720861
Lions don't meow. And I'm certain Aunn doesn't roar either, unless she does in the future. Her animal noise onomatopoeia is "Au~n".

Aunn has TOO MANY threads

>>19720754
I wanna rub that belly!

>>19720911
Roar!

Cutest pup.

>>19720937
Aunn is the goodest boy, so of course she has lots of threads (as befitting of the best guard dog in Gensokyo).

>>19720754
Why is that pupper making such a crazy face?

>>19722030
>>19722475
>>19723072
Retard Redditors with your Reddit memes. Your shitty dog fanon will never be canon.

>>19715043
she is ugly uhh

>>19723072
She's in heat.

>>19727973
Stone lions don't go into heat.

>>19728036
Stone lions aren't cute girls in pink t-shirts either autist-kun

>>19728399
Pink? It's red. And it's not just any t-shirt. It's a kariyushi shirt. A kariyushi shirt is an article of clothing originating specifically from the Okinawa region. Do you know why she is wearing that? Because she's a shiisaa. Shiisaa (translation: lion) are stone guardian statues specifically originating from Okinawa. Aunn also has magatama for ears. You know where magatama were used most prominently? The Ryukyuan region, where Okinawa is located. Did you know that the print in Aunn's spell card background is specifically made up of shiisaa only and not komainu? Stop making retarded observations when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Stone lions aren't girls, either!

Aunn is a cute BOY with cute BOY shorts!

>>19727649
Delete yourself. The doggo is cute.

>>19733847
Kill yourself, Reddit. Aunn is not a dog and, furthermore, stop using Reddit terms like "doggo" on this website you retard.

eagaghagha Auun is a LION not a DOG! eeaaghagha nice fucking FANON eeasghgaghag I have sex with animals

>>19734151
That's funny since I, the venerable fact and lion poster, have never once directed a lewd comment towards Aunn, an animal. Meanwhile retard dogfags are the ones who want to defile her or treat her as some sort of subservient mutt (which she isn't). It is the dogfags who want to have sex with animals. You seem mentally I'll, perhaps you should go back to Tumblr as posting nonsense like "eeasghgaghag" has no place here. This is not Reddit. Kindly go away.

>>19734151
jesus fucking christ anon i don't even like the lionfag ruining aunn threads but your abhorrent post reeks of triggered newfag sydrome

Who lets their dog go around with no collar? Reimu is such an irresponsible owner.

>>19734260
Reimu doesn't own Aunn, tertiary-kun. Aunn hopes from shrine to shrine, protecting whatever she wants to. If anything Okina, her creator, owns Aunn. Also, Aunn is not a dog so nice fanon you got there.

>>19734204
Yeah, sorry, I promise I won't do it again. I was just poking him with a stick.

>>19734151
>eagaghagha
>eeaaghagha
>eeasghgaghag

dogfags are fucking retarded, seriously
