But seriously, outside of parody, why is Miko running for "President of the Human Village"? It's not exactly like Miko's rather soft-spoken personality overlaps with Trump's.

Well, she already has a lot of experience as Prince, and no doubt she might see the leaderless state of the Human Village as needing a strong central government. Besides, although the youkai definitely do not want the Village to have a leader, Miko is definitely strong enough to make it happen (until Yukari steps in.)
But then again, AFiEU is written by Aya, so everything should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially since the tengu are also manipulating the Village's working from the shadows.

Because she isn't, that is the whole joke about fake news. Miko is only giving a speech about the dangers of candy, and is more like a professional motivator trying to get people to eat healthy.
Hey, candy is a serious subject, okay ? Wait till you see the dentist's bill Do you know how much of that money can be used to feed the people in Africa instead of removing our kid's freaking teeth ?

The joke is that she wasn't, and Aya ripped the story whole cloth from IRL Donald Trump news with a few words changed. The Human Village has no central government body because it is not large enough to need one, so Miko can't possibly run for election.
But speaking of which, HOLY SHIT she sweats a fuckload. This photo is undoctored, and if all Miko was talking about was eating healthy, then she must really take the subject seriously.
I really don't think this type of stuff is a good idea atm even if it's just for jokes.American politics is an extremely dangerous place right now and anything can set anyone off including this. Both sides are bursting with hatred and disgust for each other. Look, all I'm saying is ZUN shouldn't be surprised if this gets massive backslash from fans since this is just begging for in these times.
American politics is severely on edge, and a lot of Europe as well, but Japan is relatively insulated from that (barring it involving North Korea, but that's a couple degrees of separation away...) There aren't that many Japanese diehard Trump supporters, and why would he be afraid of offending Americans with his small-run doujins almost exclusively circulated within Japan?
The US is the one that should be learning from Gensokyo (and not vice-versa). Discussion is breaking down, and confrontation is only a matter of time... preferably with the Spellcard System. Just remember, when Paul Ryan uses "Atlas Shrugged", the Earth might look scary coming at you, but it has a deceptively small hitbox.
My investment in Touhou has been worth it. This is actually one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen.
The photo in the article about Toyosatomimi no Miko was not manipulated, but compared to the photo the original article text was unexciting, and in order to make it a bit more dramatic and "weekly magazine-like", we ripped off a weekly magazine article about the presidential election in the outside world. As a result, the contents became almost completely invented. In our desire to make the article exciting, we gave in to temptation.
The original text was as follows: As part of an awareness campaign directed towards humans, Toyosatomimi no Miko has been giving regular lectures. The topic of this lecture was "Healthy living for humans explained by a hermit". When the article talks about "President" it really means "Health President", and her quotes about "youkai" really referred to "very sweet candy".
"Illegal youkai immigrants are stealing our jobs in the Human Village" was "candy is taking over our food". a pun on 職/食 All her other quotes were also talking about how eating too much candy is bad for your health. It was something like, you should store candy in a high place where children can't reach it, but really it was just too boring. In editing the text to make it more exciting and dramatic, we regret to say that changes to the meaning were introduced.HUMANS FIRSTThe TruthPhoto / Hitori
