Liking Okuu isn't that different from liking Cirno or Flandre. They all have gimmicky powers, and cliché and shallow personalities. The only real difference is that Subterranean Animism came out in 2008 while Embodiment of Scarlet Devil came out in 2002, making the former less of a target for new and inexperienced fans.

And this is while characters from Undefined Fantastic Object and Ten Desires are hated or shunned, simply because they're "too hard to understand". While in reality it's just that their powers are original and their backstories elaborate. The casts of the two later games are more popular in Japan than here, perhaps because a native japanese person has an advantage when it comes to knowing of and understanding the original historical events the characters are tied to. To like Okuu all you need to understand is that she's "a badass idiot who controls nuclear fusion".

While I like the setting and general story-line of Subterranean Animism, I'd like to point out, that not only including and post Mountain of Faith but perhaps in all of Windows era Touhou, Okuu is the least developed, least interesting and least intimidating villain. Not to mention her motive is the least elaborate and engaging of all.
