Touhou rant

[Tyop89]

I personally disagree with some things stated in the Wiki.

Not all gods in Touhou predate reality; although they did technically exist as divine concepts and forces of nature since the beginning, but they only gained identity and sentience as a result of adundant human faith (stated by Kanako in SoPM part 5)

So, Suwako is likely over 2,400 years old at most. With most of the ancient gods around the 1,500 to 3,000+ mark (Okina over 1,300). Eirin at 3000, then Junko and Hecatia being the oldest at over 3,500 to 4,000 IMO, since they date back to early Chinese and Greek mythology. (some like Amaterasu/Tsukuyomi might be even older).

But it's very likely there could be other, greater deities such as the Kotoamatsukami that transcend faith/reality altogether; and are at least hundreds of millions (possibly billions) of years old.

There's a statement that Kaguya and Eirin are hundreds of millions of years old; but the source also claims that ZUN was super drunk at the time, and probably joking lol

I also disagree with some wank for the series being Outerversal (which is baseless, since they are 4D–5D at best), or putting weaker characters like Kosuzu at 4D when she's nowhere near the level of the God tiers.

Thoughts?

As it's been said in the general thread & the wiki collab thread, these things are being worked on. Some of these questioned points do have plenty of evidence in their favor but just haven't been added to profiles. And that Kosuzu key was with a special amp, although her normal key will be revamped to remove scaling to fairies. Don't jump to any conclusions about any proposals until they're actually being proposed in their full cases, either; there's more than just "vibes" to doing this. Takes time to substantiate, especially when there's only a few putting in the actual work, so feel free to share any helpful scans in that collab thread or just chill for now.
