ZUN is hostile to non-Japanese people plating shmups because he doesn't imagine that racially handicapped people can play such a challenging genre. I'm barely being facetious. Western fans are opposed to buying the games because of that. Why play the games at all if it bothers you so much, fair question, it's not like there aren't better games from that genre. I always pirated them but I pirate everything anyway.
