That's the problem though. I am a self confessed massive Touhou fanboy and Kantai Collection's rise has been comparable to it.
To be fair, it's probably all my favourite artists fault. I like them for Touhou works and once I started seeing all these strange new life forms appearing under their tags I did rather want to say "Oh, just get back to where you started."
It's every artist fault that I dislike Patchouli Knowledge as well. There is no reason to draw her, canon or fanon, as heavily breasted in every picture. But that doesn't stop them.
It seems like a stupid reason to hate on the pair of them. But when you browse art as much as I do, you see some annoying trends and you start to dislike them and the thing they involve. That's shaped my feelings primarily in this argument.
