I really want to be able to empathize with User A. Like, I get it. There's definitely a lot of stuff in the Touhou fanon that I don't like. I don't like self-insert-posting, don't like horny-posting, and I want nothing to do with the 18+ material. I make no effort to hide my disdain for them...

As an avid Shimmy-stan, this kind of shit has to be some of the most disgusting stuff to ever come out of the fandom. I'd love to hear someone try and justify abusing a character whose most defining characteristics are "being overly trusting of others" and "being smaller than everyone else,"...

I'm so sorry that happened to you, but it's gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay. Don't blame yourself for what happened. Ultimately, your ex was the one who made the decision to cheat. That's on her, not you. But, just like Nekofire said, you have a chance to learn from it and make sure it...

Andrei, I would like to begin by speaking as frankly as possible. I've spent the last 2 hours staring blankly at my screen, lost in thought over how I should approach responding to you, and even debating whether I could. This is a sensitive matter, and I do not consider myself a sensitive...

Part 6, the torture scene between Sanae and Kogasa. I'd say it's the first genuine "I'm out" moment the show has to offer. I hope for Sci's sake that they didn't go any further after that point. I was definitely uncomfortable and squeamish during Part 6, but not to the point of lightheadedness...

I would disagree with azdi's take. Effectively all hatred of isekai as a setting comes from within the anime community, not outside of it. Isekai has a long and muddy history, since the idea of "a character gets transported to a different setting" has existed for decades; hell, even long before...

I'm gonna assume you're looking for the shooter-type games, so I'd split my recommendations between whether you want to play the official games or fangames. Of the official games, I'd recommend TH7: Perfect Cherry Blossom, TH8: Imperishable Night, or TH18: Unconnected Marketeers as the most...

I didn't originally want to post in this thread since I couldn't seem to form a cohesive stance on the matter, but this statement was so outlandish that I spent the last several hours researching the topic to see if it was true. Count, I'm gonna need a source on this one, 'cause I couldn't find...

Oh man, it would sure suck if the series only had 1 more part left to actually explain everything and give a satisfying conclusion to the whole ordeal, huh? That's even if we get it, which doesn't look very likely.

It took a bit longer to get through than I initially planned, but as of now I have watched all of Koishi Komeiji's Heart Throbbing Adventure, and Holy shit. I was prepped up to come in here and open up with a speech talking about how I used to hate this series and was going in to see if it...

I wanna get in and out of the thread quickly, since I'm bogged down with school and work, but I do want to come back later in the week to give my full thoughts. Just like CountVonNumenor, I also saw Suwawako's Halloween video on KKHTA. And also just like him, it resparked my curiosity into a...

I'd recommend checking out the ebay account for Retro_Saikou. I've bought from them at conventions, but they sell most of their stock online. You're still looking at anywhere from $20-$27 per game, but they offer free shipping, at least within the US. It might just be what you need.

I'm always excited to see people covering fangames. AspreyFM comes to mind first, and his videos were really helpful when exploring which fangames were worth buying and checking out. It was thanks to him I found my favorite non-shmup fangame thus far: Kubinashi Recollection. I've already tried...

Yo, but imagine Touhou fans having standards, tho... Just calling Touhou a shmup feels disingenuous. There're casual shmups out there. It's like calling Dark Souls a hack 'n slash game. Sure, the mechanics are similar, but the way DS is meant to be experienced is totally different from, say...

My thoughts on the matter are pretty mixed, since discussing the ethics of copyright enforcement is (just barely) a bit more complicated than "fans good" and "company bad". As Ken pointed out, copyright laws were established to promote creativity by ensuring that creators get inherent protection...

I haven't played every Touhou game, nor heard every track, so I'll only be commenting on entries I've at least gone through enough of to pick a favorite song. But I figured I'd give a little twist to my answer, and give some love to fan games that I also think have some noteworthy music. Touhou...

I took the time to watch that entire video, and boy howdy did it sure give me some thoughts. Firstly @CountVonNumenor don't be sorry about being critical. If there's one takeaway I agreed with wholeheartedly from TheOVJM's video, it's that the Touhou fandom treats ZUN like a god among men who...

I probably put way more time and thought into this than I needed to, but this is a legitimately hard question to answer. ZUN may not have much prestige as an artist, but making a cast of well over 100 characters with unique appearances that are easily told apart from each other is a really...

I really wanted to make an account and jump in on this conversation because, as Numenor and Ken alluded to, fanon is HUGE in shaping how people see Touhou. In fact, I'd be so bold as to say fan culture is more prevalent to Touhou than any other franchise out there. Of the ones I've been exposed...
