Whenever I see a Remilia/Flandre image posted here all the comments tend to be very supportive. I'd thought there would be a bit more controversy, seeing as its a loli incest ship. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for that, but I'm kind of used to the annoying "isn't she underage/aren't they related" comments you see on any damn site whenever something questionable is posted.

Honestly, the worst part of 2020 was the flooding of normies getting into anime, which led to the frequency of the comments you mention to skyrocket. Fortunately, while not exactly the last bastion, touhou yuri still remains a comparatively niche thing, with a community that knows better than starting flame wars over the topic of preferred ships.
Anyhow, Remi's ears always looked very chewable, good thing the artist could appreciate that.

I think something that's only gotten worse online over the years is that some people have to make a point of hating something, they don't see something they dislike and move on, and maybe block/mute the creator, instead they have to make a comment, often attacking the artist, the people that enjoy it, and so fourth. I think Touhou gets hit with that a bit less due to being an older franchise.
Anyhow though, yeah those ears do look nom'able

^I was recently disheartened when I saw this image ( https://dynasty-scans.com/images/31533 ) on the artist's twitter and the replies were all full of people who were angry at how the image shipped Callie and Marie (You know, its kind of suprising people legitimately get that pissed at the notion despite how cousin marriage is legal in many places. Makes me surprised there are no major campaigns to ban it that I've heard of what with how much vitriol there is towards it).

^It's unfortunate how much artists get bullied, and that art is tame. I think part of it is that people often don't have their priorities in order, or real life troubles that are more pressing. I've seen some really disturbing art over the years but I don't think I've ever thought "verbally harassing the artist / their fans" is the answer, nor would I have the energy to do so. Real life is full of so many difficult challenges already, I generally want to focus on enjoying what I like and get through the day lol

It probably has to do with the way some people is raised, so they think that a fictional depiction of a thing equals the intent of doing said thing IRL.
Basically the current equivalent of "videogames cause violence" and "pokemon is a Satanist work". -_-

^You don't throw out the Black/Swamp cards in your kid's Magic The Gathering collection because you fear they're Satanic?
That's something I've heard has happened before, and yeah some of how people are raised can be really hard to break away from. I'm also glad I was born at a time where I didn't have internet, I was going to the movie rental store and getting excited for new releases on VHS and then DVD later, sometimes getting a PC game disc for a basic kids game, and then years later getting Dial Up internet. I feel like having more of an ability to detach from the internet has really helped me in my life, and I think some people that grow up always online right away might have a harder time detaching from the internet.
