ZUN also mentioned that it's semi-canon status is because of how light hearted it is, which may also attribute to it being the most popular. SSIB on the other hand is practically the opposite in terms of atmosphere.
"Fannonated" in this case meaning that I had been taking fanon for canon. I was under the understanding that Inaba was canon (or close enough), and thus it overrides my old understanding.
Still gonna take me a minute to wrap my head around.
Does this mean someone recorded the events of Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (or pretty much every game), gave them to Yukari who gave them to ZUN who made a game and eventually entered Gensokyo along with the Neo Geo?
Naturally Reimu would refrain from playing it to avoid bringing up frustrating memories.

Yeah she kind of looks like it. Random fact: CoD does take that pose when Onion Knight uses his EX Burst on her.

I thought he did write it

I believe it to be canon, but taken through a filter of silliness as just about everything except for Reisen is exaggerated.
It is canon, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. ZUN did little in its creation besides instructing Arata Toshihira of the direction and some base lore and left him(her?) to do everything. So it has very little ZUN value in it unlike all other official works. At any rate, as far as the status of the comic itself it concerned, it is indeed canon. Just that its canon value is very low, so that not all of it should be taken seriously. For example, Kaguya is not such a laid-back NEET according to Cage in Lunatic Runagate (quite on contrary, she's fully willing and capable of doing something worthy, though she isn't sure of exactly what to do), Tewi is supposed to consider Kaguya and Eirin as her equals since she's the landlady there and not their subordinates and so on.

If your rudeness was because you were bothered by the "don't let anyone tell you otherwise" or anything potentially offensive in my comment, you have my apologies. On a related note, however, it was not directed at you or anyone in particular, merely hoping that anyone who doesn't know better will get the message.
Didn't mean to come across as rude, so I in turn apologize if my comment across as such. And you hit the nail on the head, it was the "don't let anyone tell you otherwise" part. Overall, your comment to me sounded like you actually were trying to make a brand new point across, which prompted my own response.

Nice catch. On Pixiv this was referred to as the Umehara grip (AKA variant wineglass, Daigo Umehara's preferred style), and indeed it does look like she's using her pinky and ring finger.
