    I’ve recently been looking into the Polish Touhou community—browsing sites like touhou.pl and Cirno.pl, as well as gathering information about Touhou Room—and I think I need to find a Polish person to help me clarify a few questions.

    Ask freely, i will be glad to help, but i need to clarify that i have never heard of these Polish Touhou sites, nor any other besides pl.touhouwiki.net
    By the way, I haven't joined the Moriya Shrine Discord server yet, but that doesn't seem to make any difference when it comes to posting here

    I want to analyze why Ten Desires is so popular among women.

    In fact, I have compiled the female vote data for all the characters from Ten Desires, spanning from the 11th to the 22nd Popularity Poll. (The organizers only began supporting access to detailed voting results starting from the 11th poll.) I will share it with you tomorrow if possible.

    Hisami actually has more female fans than male in the last poll, 49.33% against 46.10%

    I’ve joined quite a few Touhou groups on Discord, but I rarely speak. For one thing, I’m not very familiar with English slang or internet jargon; for another, I don’t really know how to initiate conversations. That’s why I prefer it when others reach out to ask me questions.
    Today is Wuhan THO. With Shanghai THO having announced that it would not be held this year, Wuhan THO has become the largest THO in China this year.

    What does "Shanghai style market event" mean?

    That is a term by Circle Goka for events similar to Shanghai THO. Those are events which combine classic market (without other activities), live and possibly other subevents. All of these events by the same organizing group. They are hold in a short period of time (2-3 days). From this side Houraisai was close to Shanghai THO. Many major THOs combine a party-like event, market event and live event. But the main differemce between Shanghai THO and other THOs is that the second ones have not only sales part on market events but also stage activities (performances, tournaments, free stage, etc.) and sometimes other activities.

    There is the venue map of Wuhan THO. There are stage, and zones for different activities unrelated to sales.

    There is the venue map of last year Shanghai THO. Even though there are some activities unrelated to sales, there are less of them anyway and there is no stage.

    In any case, I don't think a commercial collaboration between Touhou and Arknights would be a good idea at all.

    because it would open the floodgates for non-rythm gachas to collab with 2hu?
    I am open to your questions about the Touhou community in China

    Well, Moriya Shrine isn’t blocked by the GFW, so I can access it without a VPN. The VPN ecosystem in China is actually quite mature, and in practice the Chinese government largely turns a blind eye to it. At many companies and universities, you can apply for VPN access. For individuals like me, you can either set one up yourself or find access through other channels.

    Really? I heard from various sources that China has its own version of everything and that Chinese people only can access Chinese websites, something similiar to north korea, and i also heard that VPN is banned in China so the only way to get it is to go to Hong Kong, download VPN and go back, was that false or just exaggerated?

    Mostly exaggerated, though there is some truth behind it. China does block many major foreign services such as Google, YouTube, X and Facebook, but it certainly does not block every foreign website, and Chinese users are not limited to domestic sites. Moriya Shrine is one example I can access directly. China also has domestic alternatives for many services, but that does not mean foreign websites are automatically illegal.

    VPNs are more complicated. Unauthorized commercial VPN services and unapproved cross-border connections are restricted, while companies and universities can use approved international connections for work or research. Individuals certainly do not need to travel to Hong Kong just to get a VPN; people who use them usually obtain access through other channels. So comparing the Chinese internet to North Korea is a very exaggerated picture of everyday internet use here.
    Now that bilibili is going more global, will there be any movements among chinese bilitubers to introduce the chinese 2hu fandom in en bilibili and youtube? Since there's been so many touhou en youtube videos subtitled in bilibili, surely someone must be planning the reverse.

    I’m actually not quite sure what you mean by “Bilibili going more global.” I have seen many videos posted by foreigners in the past few days, but the experience is honestly pretty bad: most have no Chinese subtitles or localization at all. So maybe Bilibili is trying to expand overseas? I’m not sure.

    As for introducing the Chinese Touhou fandom to overseas audiences, I’m also unsure. Fandom/community research is quite niche even within the Chinese Touhou community, so I don’t know how many people would be interested. Maybe I could try it myself someday.

    I also have to admit that many Touhou videos on Bilibili are reposted without permission. Recently, Bilibili held an event encouraging Touhou fan videos, and some people even reposted others’ work, marked it as “original,” and tried to profit from it.

    I spent a minute doing some calculations, and Marisa has ranked second in the Touhou Project Popularity Poll 11 times, which is the most for any character. So, is it possible for her to win first place this year?
    Even the best translation software in the world today has difficulty expressing what I want to say

    LLMs are surprisingly good at translating, pretty shocked by that.
    Considering that Touhou is a creator-centered community, I do not think seniority should determine one’s so-called “status” within the community. Or rather, emphasizing hierarchy in a doujin community is a foolish thing to do.

    Over the past few years, I have seen many excellent new doujin creators whose contributions to Touhou are greater than those of many people who first encountered Touhou fifteen years ago. At the same time, however, I am also uncomfortable with the tendency to overemphasize “contributions to the community.” Touhou should be equal.
    I oppose the act of registering a fan-created image of Orin as a trademark. Treating the shared tolerance within the fan-creation ecosystem as a commercial asset that can be privately appropriated is deeply unethical within the community, and legally unstable as well. This is not only disrespectful to fan creators, but also a trampling of the very spirit of fan culture.
