I\'m thinking that we should probably start adding proper release dates to the Touhou game pages.

I think the Overseers fall into VillainHasAPoint, maybe GrayAndGreyMorality or EvilVsEvil. People probably can\\\' be trusted with the power of the outsider because well - just use the Heart on people and you\\\'ll see that nearly everyone is a sociopath in some way, many are outright murders who have. However books also indicate they essentially kidnap children to fill their ranks and kill the ones who don\\\'t pass their training so they sure aren\\\'t good people.

However having magic has nothing to do with your morality in itself even if it makes it more tempting to deal with all of your problems with rat swarms and violence. He also offer more stealthy and morally neutral blink upgrades and possession which kills only animals and sickens humans. The Outsider gives them to people that he finds interesting in some way. He tends to keep the number roughly constant so just killing every mage isn\\\'t a good technique - if anything only killing the murderous ones would be a better tactic since the outsider is likely to replace them.

TL;DR; They are right about magic being a threat they would be better off without, wrong about everything else.

Is it just me or do a lot of examples start to verge on PaintTheHeroBlack by key omissions of important details like not mentioning the torture and still keeping American citizens captive in \'\'Little Brother\'\'. I am reluctant to natter or start an edit war but it is starting to get glaring even by the standards of YMMV. I thought the point was more \'that there was some good idea there even if the implementer is wrong in some (or many) other ways\'. To give the classic GodwinsLaw example just because AdolfHitler thought smoking was unhealthy doesn\'t make the point any less valid.
