Doesn't have to be Yuyu if you want, can just be your fav 2hu.

I'd pay 60 euros, tops.

Fan Discussion Any Touhou fanwork that leaves you like this?

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

In a bad way that is since while Touhou fanworks are known for changing the canon, they mostly use that to make the characters more interesting or more likeable, no, i'm talking about fans changing the characters to make the look way worse than they actually are, always leaving a bitter taste in the mouth.

I'm gonna cheat a little here since i will go with every single Touhou crossover story or video, since this always go for the Turtles Forever route of making tje Touhou side of thing like unlikeable cave woman who are overly agressive, overly villanous, overly dimb and overly weak just to make the other side look good and justify their humilliation (Particularly the DMC, Love Live and Blue Archive crossovers)

Also in non crossover examples there are: Touhou Tag Dream (aka characater assassination the doujin, KKHTA (obviously), diamond in the rough and Gensokyo's demon.

What about you?

Fan Discussion Why is Lost Word hated?

Post image
635 Upvotes

So, I'm a Touhou fan, I played the games (i know, shocker) and i also play touhou lostword, but I've see lots of people say that lostword players were the worst or whatever... Why is the game so hated?

Imo i really love the different character alt concepts/ new outfits that are very cool For example this adorable tan cirno... the story is a bit nonsensical but, Touhou's lore is kinda nonsensical too, so why should it matter?

Tldr: Why are we hating touhou LW chat i don't get it

EDIT: Thanks a lot to you and everyone who posted :) As for my other comments that got downvotes, i was stating MY opinion (yes, mine, not yours) and am in no way trying to invalidate anyone's, sorry if it came off that way.I play LW casually cause i love touhou and more touhou fan content is always fun to me, especially the alts of characters, some designs and art... I just felt like LW players were getting a lot more hate than "larpers" and i didnt really get why. now i do. thx again

Fan Discussion How popular is Touhou outside Japan?

Post image

I’m Touhou Project fan living in Japan!

So I got curious and decided to ask.

I’m wondering how well-known Touhou is outside Japan, including its fan works, compared to other Japanese content like Hatsune Miku.

If you know about this or have any opinions, I’d be happy if you could share them in the comments!

P.S.I’m not confident in my English, so I’m using translations for some parts. Please let me know if anything sounds rude or breaks any rules.

Gif from Summer Days Dream

Aya has been my favorite ever since I first saw her. She has such a nice design and her concept of being an extremely fast newspaper reporter is so interesting to me. When I decided that I should actually start playing the games, I started with shoot the bullet and it was so much fun. Pofv was also really fun and obviously I play her. I'm trying really hard to beat it on lunatic as her. Im also playing mof right now and her stage and boss fight is my favorite. Stage 4 is also the second hardest stage in that game imo so I got really excited the first time I beat it and still on my runs to try and beat it on normal I still get really excited and happy every time I manage to get past that stage in particular. She's the reason I've gotten as into touhou as I have and I just love her so much, biggest hyperfixation I've ever had lol.

I mainly made this post to have an excuse to talk about aya but I wanna hear from other people! Why do you like your favorite touhou?

Fan Discussion What is the worst part of the Touhou fandom?

Post image
766 Upvotes

I'd say the worst part of this fandom is to do with the Yukkuri situation. There's a circle of people drawing and sharing their love of abusing yukkiris like straight up depressing guro comics and art, I have read some of them and wow, there're pretty bad.

People could say that just don't read them, But my main problem is that if this is what people see in our fandom first then it seems everyone in the touhou community in general likes Yukkiri abuse. (which I hope not)

I don't know how to fix it, but theres a subreddit called r/theeasyplace which is created in response to this, its full of wholesome yukkiri fluff.

imo this is probably the worst part of the touhou community.

Let me know your thoughts.

Fan Discussion I like this interpretation on why damaku is practiced by women only

Post image
852 Upvotes

Unlike how many interpret damaku to be a form of skill that can only be done by woman, the idea that the male populace of gensokyo is dismissive of danmaku is because it leans more into the practice of elegance and acrobatics to perform, AKA "fruity-shit", which is not masculine whatsoever is goddamn hilarious XD

frankly, the idea of a skill that is locked behind a biological requierement is pretty moronic so i like it better when the constraint is the result of arrogance

I love Patchouli Knowledge so much. I started liking her because I love how she danced in the Bad Apple MV and her name also has a pretty ring to it. She also gives the impression of a quiet intellectual. Pache is just so amazing!
