  • I will always oppose associating Touhou with politics; that is the most foolish thing to do, bar none.

    have there been new political drama in the chinse fandom? Is it concerning regional politics like Jiangsu or national?

    A uploader on Bilibili who discusses current events has recently become incredibly popular, but I won't go into details. His fans have associated him with Rin because of his profession, treating Rin like a mere accessory, which has led to many derivative works. However, this has severely disrupted the harmonious atmosphere of the Touhou community, attracting a large number of people who only want to discuss politics.

    Excluding Reimu and Marisa, I think Cirno is currently the most popular character among Touhou newbies

    I'd add Flandre as well, especially since Ronald McDonald Insanity was the big bang of Touhou here in the west. Even if folks don't know who she is or about the series she comes from, they can at least recognize her from the memes.

    BTW anybody heard how Touhou reached the millionth post on Danbooru? It was a picture of Cirno, who also occuped the 999,999th spot. (apparently people were spamming Cirno photos during the 999k areas to get Cirno to that spot)
    So unlike the Japanese or western community, who are mostly fine with Touhou's niche status, there's a bigger push in the Chinese community to get Touhou mainstream, right?
    I just hope that the Touhou community can have less pointless fighting and more Doujin

    Have there been any new dramas in the chinese community, perhaps in the events?

    Offline events include: the third Nanjing THO being reported and shut down, the Harbin THO being canceled, and infighting within the Shandong Touhou community. Online events include: controversies arising from the use of AI-generated MMDs, issues with doujin games, and a person using a Youmu avatar posting hate speech, leading to Youmu being targeted on the Chinese internet. Well, this is damn postmodernism.
    Cirno is a character with over 20 years of history, yet she remains incredibly popular, as if she just appeared. I think this indirectly demonstrates Touhou's enduring appeal
    If someone truly wants to understand Touhou, they will search for it themselves, rather than commenting "how to understand Touhou" in the comments section of every Touhou-related video.

    touhou is a very easy thing to get into, but at the same time it's a danmaku shmup at its core so it has an interest check

    Since Umamusume seems to still be going strong in th west (not to mention how it made many western touhou artists jump ship), what's the chinese consensus on Umamusume? It doesn't seem like it's as popular as Blue Archive there (similar to the rest of the east asia). Has there been any dramas regarding it. any conflicts with the Touhou fanbase in China, and do Touhou fans in China have any strong opinions on Umamusume?

    Well, the situation with Uma Musume is somewhat special, and I’ll try to describe it in English as much as possible.

    From 2018 to 2021, Uma Musume enjoyed considerable popularity in China, and naturally a community formed around it. However, considering that China was going through a surge of gacha games at the time (mainly led by Genshin Impact and Arknights), it never reached a truly “phenomenal” level of heat. Even so, its online animated series did become very popular.

    Nowadays, Uma Musume is indeed very popular in China, but not really because of the work itself. The main reason is the emergence of a viral meme. This entire meme comes from episode 12 of the second season of Uma Musume, around the 10:40 mark, where Tokai Teio hums the “Honey Song.” Because the Japanese word “はちみつ (hachimitsu)” sounds very similar to the Chinese-sounding phrase “哈基米,”(hajimi) it gave rise to a unique subcultural community.

    However, Chinese fans of Uma Musume consider this meme to be offensive, much like how the cookie is perceived within the Touhou community. People do not actually care about Uma Musume itself; instead, they focus solely on posting “哈基米” memes across major social platforms.

    At present, the Chinese Uma Musume community has already distanced itself from the 哈基米 community. “哈基米” has been completely deconstructed—it no longer refers to the original content and has instead become part of a complicated, hard-to-understand amalgam of niche subcultures.

    Today, the Chinese government issued Japan-related cultural restrictions. A large number of scheduled performances in China have been forced to cancel, and exchanges in the relevant cultural industries have also been restricted.

    Naturally, many Touhou events have been affected. I think it’s likely that we’ll rarely see Japanese Touhou doujin music circles coming to China next year.

    I wish to live in a peaceful era—an enlightened era.
    Touhou communities don't appear out of thin air. I've seen many people complain that their schools don't have a Touhou community, but it's not anyone's fault. You have to learn to build one yourself

    These Chinese fans should look at the rest of the global Touhou community and see how good they have it
    If I buy a game for the purpose of "Touhou Doujin game", I hope most of the content of this game is related to Touhou. I can accept the appearance of original characters, but I hope it remembers that it is a "Touhou Doujin game"

    There's a free doujin game of Touhou. Except that it takes place in a world called "Mugenri" and the protagonists are switched from Marisa & Reimu to Tsubakura, Marisa, and Suzumi.

    Correct.
    An associate professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, without knowing anything about Touhou, transformed Maiden's Capriccio into a three-part piece with progressive layers based on her own understanding and improvisation:https://b23.tv/hNlNP9B
    China Koishi Only will be held in Shijiazhuang next year. This will be the second "character-only" expo for the Chinese Touhou community. Given the rapid growth of THO events in recent years, a more diversified expo format is welcome. However, there are currently no "game-only" expos (e.g., showcasing only TH13 content), which is something the Chinese Touhou community should learn from Japan.
