@SuperSnekFriend @3hu @Yukari_Kajiwara @Groomschild This kind of thought has been thought about before, and in essence while some fringe cases are okay, overall it'd be bad if all the humans no longer feared youkai. The lack of fear is what started killing off youkai in the outside world (also guns, because guns kill everything). It took an entire manga series of deliberating and overthinking everything before they even dared include Kosuzu to get along with yokai normally, and she was just one girl who had accidentally awakened a larger power.
