    So it seems the problem with gender in media is...

    ...in western media, even badass-looking female characters frequently turn out to be not badass.
    ...in Japanese media, even the cutest and most innocent-looking female characters frequently do turn out to be badass.

    Or are my sample sizes two sizes too small?

    this is true in my experience but i don't think you can summarize the entire complicated relationship between gender and the media with reference to this one (or those two) aspects of its representation

    i'd say there are many problems with gender in media

    awww yeah 13 million on stage 2... compared to like 15 million in the WR. But, the WR started stage 2 with higher power which makes a huge difference.

    AM has maintained a journal about his Touhou achievements and other
    things, mainly in his native Korean (and sometimes Japanese, with the
    help of an automated translator). After releasing his groundbreaking UFO
    Lunatic replays in October and November of 2009 AM was confronted with
    accusations of tool-assistance, which eventually had him close his blog
    and instead maintain a smaller journal on his homepage together with a
    Twitter account.

    Upon failing to meet a self-imposed deadline of achieving 3
    billion in Undefined Fantastic Object before the 1st of April, 2010, AM
    had realized that Touhou scorerunning had become an addiction that
    prevented him from experiencing more important aspects of life. He
    promptly severed all ties with both its community and the games
    themselves, which was explained in one of the posts on his homepage
    journal. Although the entry was posted on the 1st of April, it turned
    out not to be a joke. [1]

    you don't sound like you're a mediocre player

    you have very high standards

    Using this strategy, coa managed to attain 1,000,020,760 points on
    2009/05/21, reaching his goal after a long struggle. A completely
    flawless run is expected to reach 1.001 billion with over 701,500 Faith
    remaining upon the end-of-stage tally, which means coa's current effort
    is less than 0.1% away from the theoretically optimal value.

    A screenshot of HS's PCB statistics revealed that he had played over 27,000 sessions in 1,880 hours.

    HS参謀's main competitors have included ISO and st.
    Based on his record history, HS has shown persistence rarely seen in
    other contenders: so far, he and ISO have been the only members of the
    Japanese scoreboards to have actively competed in Perfect Cherry Blossom
    for over seven years (since 2003). Each time HS had been knocked off
    the top spot in any category, he would usually reclaim his title within a
    short time (sometimes the same day), often accompanied by a somewhat
    sarcastic comment. For example, when かがみん
    posted a 1.187 billion replay with a score target of 1.2 billion, HS
    quickly retaliated with a 1.205 billion score and commented, "It took me
    only 1882 hours to achieve this target!"

    MSH was the first player to "break" Touhou 12's scoring system, having
    released a 485 million Lunatic replay no more than 24 hours after the
    demo's initial release. Since then, he has improved his score to 621
    million using a more optimal UFO collection sequence.

    well you regularly post about games that have a reputation for being difficult, and you play on higher difficulty settings when they exist

    by any standards but those of the hardcore competitive scene i think that would make you better than average

    This page is about a prominent Subterranean Animism player who has thoroughly concealed his/her identity behind a multitude of nicknames, including "#unknown", "unknown#", "UnKnown", "U.N.None", "#unexist", " " (blank), "Nekomimy", and the most recent one, "tongrentang". There is no information whatsoever that would help to determine whether this player is a known Touhou veteran or just a very experienced newcomer. Ironically, it fits the idea of such name perfectly.

    UnKnown is famous for being the first player to thoroughly "break" Subterranean Animism's
    scoring system, achieving over 240 million on stages 1—3 of Lunatic
    mode within just two days after the release of the trial version 0.01.
    Tracking the player's subsequent doings on trial and full versions was
    proven to be easy thanks to him/her being consistent with the scoring
    strategies and ever increasing results, despite the odd name changing
    pattern.

    On 2008/07/27, YASU posted a screenshot of his Imperishable Night's profile status screen on his personal blog.
    It revealed that he had played 31,678 games of Imperishable Night in
    1,621.5 hours of play time. As of August 2009 he has played over 33,600
    games in 1818 hours of play time.

    On February, 7, 2009, YASU improved his IN world record to 5.868
    billion, despite having made "numerous mistakes due to nervousness" in
    the second half of the game, where he failed several spell cards on
    Stage 4 and lost a life on Stage 5. Up until August, he kept announcing
    new scores made with Sakuya & Remilia as well as other teams,
    occasionally releasing corresponding replays on his blog. However, on
    August, 8, he finally managed to break the 6 billion goal with a new
    score of 6,083,832,350, improving his previous best by over 91 million.
    In this run, YASU lost over 120 million in stage 6, which would have put
    his score at approximately 6.2 billion, had it been played without
    mistakes.

    あきすて (Japanese: Akisute, romanized as AKST) is a very peculiar Japanese Touhou
    player. Having mainly been a visitor of various tournament events
    (since at least 2005), Akisute rarely uses the actual Japanese
    scoreboards. However, in these rare cases, the scores uploaded by this
    player demolish any competition due to unexpectedly high level of
    character handling and depth of research on the scoring opportunities at
    the time. Because of that, he/she was a unique Touhou player whose records haven't been beaten by anyone else for years. However, the domination streak ended on 2008/04/03, when KWS overtook AKST's Imperishable Night Easy-B record. A year later another blow was delivered by かがみん, who improved AKST's Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Normal/Marisa-A score by as much as 175k points, later taking the rest of his EoSD records.

    あきすて has also been seen participating in various IaMP tourneys.

    competitive gaming kind of bothers me tbh

    not sure why really, i know i'm not very good at games

    but it's like, i enjoy the occasional video game, but it's no fun playing it if i'm going to be reminded that i suck at it all the time, it just makes me feel inferior and pulls me out of the immersion which is what's the most fun for me

    it's why i've tended to avoid the online fandoms of Pokémon and Smash Bros.

    hmm, interesting. :o I love being challenged and I love the things that get accomplished in competitive gaming and also I love seeing what skills other people have :)
