* [[ALighterShadeOfGrey A Lighter Shade Of Grey]]: Gensokyo tends to come off as this. Despite the [[GreyAndGreyMorality morally-dubious]] [[ImAHumanitarian actions of the population]] they're largely portrayed sympathetically and don't perform the kind of atrocities that the other factions do. Even Yukari, who is directly responsible for a great deal of Gensokyo's darker aspects, is shown to genuinely care about the rest of the cast and goes to great lengths to ensure their happiness and survival. Since the other factions are actively trying to kill the cast and many, ''many'' other people, they tend to look significantly worse.
