>Did any of you found out something horrible about your waifu that you didn't know about before?
Well, sort of… There is indeed something horrible that I found out about Flandre that I didn’t know before falling in love with her, but I found it early in our relationship. ZUN basically said that since Flandre has always been fed with cooked dishes, she doesn't know how to properly attack a human for feeding on their blood. So he claimed that whenever she tries to attack a human, she can't control herself and blows them away without leaving a spot of blood.
The idea of Flandre obliterating innocent people to oblivion is horrifying, at least to me. To better cope with this statement from ZUN, I basically told myself that:
1-Touhou has contradictions and incoherences. In this situation, I’m wondering why Flandre would come across humans she could feed upon (i.e. one that doesn’t live in Gensokyo and therefore isn’t protected by the contract) if she mostly always remains inside of her room where cooked food is always brought to her. Also, canon manga Cheating Detective Satori has shown that Flandre can display a very good amount of self-control in battle, so that would be strange if she was to lose all this self-control during feeding. Finaly, Flandre told Reimu, during their first encounter, that she had only ever seen humans in the form of drink, but as she definitely had seen Sakuya before, I’ve always imagined that Flandre was only trying to provoke Reimu by saying that.
So for those reasons, I have doubt that what Zun said is even true in the first place, and I prefer to consider this statement untrue.
2-If it is indeed true, well, at least it seems that blowing those humans was not done on purpose, but was rather an accident due to the lack of training when it comes to feeding on live humans.
3-I also tell myself that Flandre IS a vampire, and that hurting humans is part of her nature and that I have to accept it, either she blows them up in a failed attempt to feed on them or indirectly hurt them by eating/drinking human-based food that is prepared for her. I myself do eat animal meat and I did kill a few fishes myself when I went fishing. Sure, I don’t want to compare cattle, chickens, pigs and fishes to humans, but we’re all part of the food chain and I can’t blame a creature for killing another if it’s to survive.
>Is it even possible to still love your waifu after?
Yes! I do still love Flandre regardless!

>But seeing her get used for "fan service" in her official source material all of a sudden? Even if it was just one small scene it was enough for me to never wanna watch it again in fear of seeing her creators whoring her out more
Was it part of one of Project DIVA games? Or a Crypton Future Media music clip (do they even make any)?

Call it being realistic, cynical, or just anxious, but it’s possible to be in love while at the same time thinking that there is a possibility that the relationship will not last forever.

>Both people will either work harder to maintain the relationship because they're aware that it's not something super special that lasts forever just because they love each other (no relationship is this way).
This. Knowing that one’s relationship is not bulletproof will lead to efforts into maintaining it, while thinking the opposite is more likely to lead to a sad and troubling moment of disillusion.
Although it’s not the very same thing, it somehow reminds me of The Three Little Pigs fable. One must be aware that there’s a big bad wolf out there and that if you want your house to withstand its blow, you need to understand that houses are not indestructible and that you need to put effort into building a strong one.
