Only Onis and Tengu are really portrayed as having a society, all other youkai are just rare and live relatively solitary lives, so I assume that Satoris are like this too.
Also, I was reminded of the fact that the word “Satori” has multiple meanings so Satori bearing it as a name makes more sense.

Well, if the consequences are not forever, and youkai are practically immortal beings, then her acting so recklessly is not as strange. The problem is viewing the actions of fantastical beings from the perspective of humans.
>we're giving this way more thought than that old alcoholic fucking retard did.
It reminds me of that scene in an interview where Tolkien was writing in Elvish, and complaining that his handwriting was not as good as one of an Elf.
That scene was so significant to me because it showcased how a creative person treated his own worlds, as something seperate from himself. And that is the language Touhou uses too, it's just a dream, if you just see ZUN's “dream” as the only Gensokyo, as the Manga and games he releases, then that is how you ruinate Touhou to yourself. It was more clear in early Touhou, that he wanted to push the games into a more episodic direction, and I wish he had continued into that direction instead of letting powercreep and too overarching storylines increase the stakes of Touhou too much for it to work but alas.
Anyway, the foundation of Touhou is still pretty steadfast, and ZUN did quite well with it, it's just that people nowadays in general are not as creative as when Touhou destroyed everything else in comiket in terms of popularity. Have you forgotten how great it once used to be? And nothing as great has come
