The "association" thing does seem like a good point, frankly... there are numerous articles, videos, ect. with trivia about how many mangakas of popular, mainstream titles used to draw - or might be still drawing - doujinshi of other franchises, with some of those doujinshi obviously being R18...
Every other "weeb" fanbase has this, that's nothing new.
Also - while I can't (won't be bothered to) provide actual data, it was already noticed that while Touhou Project has a larger amount of R18 content made than other "usual suspect" franchises (various popular gacha games with tons of...
On separate note, I consider the switch of DanKagu from a gacha game to a... non-gacha game an improvement. Yeah, the fact that whatever people achieved in the gacha version is lost forever sucks, but that's the problem with "games as service" as a whole, and shouldn't really be used against the...
y'know, sometimes I wonder about the potential of a story about 2hus actually getting in contact with the Touhou fandom... in all its inglory. Although it could get pretty sad fast; imagine Marisa getting completely terrified of all the creeps.
What I say - fanon can't be stopped, people are...
Ohhh dear...
First, I had a bootleg Famiclone (charms of living in a post-Soviet satellite country... WHICH ACTUALLY IMPORTED A CERTAIN HIGH-QUALITY BRAND OF FAMICLONE FROM TAIWAN OFFICIALLY, at least before the proper anti-piracy legilsation was put in place), aside from obvious things like...
not want to drag this subject any longer, but the Wikipedia article on pedophilia literally has a section about its causes, with lots of links to sources. Also, there's this thing called personal accountability - whatever bad things any one, or several lolicons/pedophiles do, should not condemn...
I've never said that pedophilia is part of Japanese culture. Would you please stop jumping to such extreme conclusions?
...although I'd say that hating pedophilia the way it's common among us certainly doesn't seem to be part of theirs.
Also, the assumption that, somehow, for multiple...
I must say with pride that Polan can into Touhou too!
We have one certain big server with hundreds of members, although maybe a dozen or two are really active. We also used to have a forum, but it was looooong ago. Also, our community tended to break apart, to then rejoin itself several times.
"normal"
I wasn't trying to argue that pedophilia is normal.
I'm merely pointing out that our point of view cannot be the "only true and natural one", because if it was, there's no way Japan would allow for loli and shota content to be created so openly.
I also considered going and...
It doesn't matter here if morality is objective... because people act in accordance of what they believe, and this may vary greatly, especially between cultures. That was my point, and I'm not sure what is yours.
Also, no, Bible is not any sort of proof that "our" standards of morality are...
I'd say this is a fine example of separate cultures developing in different ways, to the point that some differences can seem mind-boggling.
Some of you seem to think that Japan is making a special "exemption" for loli/shota content... heck, lately VICE News actually made a video (or a "hit...

Struggle, scream, screech however you like... Japanese otaku don't care about your sensibilities (whether it's good or bad is a different topic)
