Infected Touhou Community

[Electromagnetic Radiation]

All things considered, I suspect a troon out in the near future.

So far about Blake;
-A secondary who barely cares about the official touhou stories and games, instead playing some asset dump garbage and reaching 4k hours on it, declaring that as his magnum opus in video gaming
-LBBQ supporter, anyone who disagrees with him when he shields "opressed" trannies is a bigot and potentially a fascist
-Girlfriend is a gross coomer with a futa fetish (among other things) and possibly bisexual too as indicated by that BDSM test
-Has obsessed multiple times over different fictional females. The current one being Sakuya Izayoi, which he has claimed to have married (lmao)
-Doesn't actually care wether his fictional spouse is a male or female, leading me to suspect he's also bisexual or also a nasty coomer like his gf. Where his brain has been rewired and now he'd beat it to things any normal person never would
-Has inserted troon shielding as a personality onto Sakuya
-Highly likely a NEET, spends most of his time on Discord, where he also evidently has underage people on it and even helped one write a yuri fanfic. He also follows underage xitter accounts too, despite having a gf
-Has a retarded term for his friends/associates called "oomf/oomfs", which sounds like a adult trying too hard to be relatable with kids
-Potential Fumo Udonge derangment syndrome?

I could have glanced over certain things. But these are the focal points of his exhibitions. What i also noticed is that he's still called Hatsune Blake in the discord server even though he already moved on to Sakuya? He also states that he has "Genderbent Blake", which could mean Blake isn't his real name but rather a self-insert of his (not that it changes the potential trooning out arc)

I'll probably catch some shit for it, I hate how people like Blake give secondaries like me a bad name. Played Ikaruga when I was younger, and came to the conclusion I didn't have the autism needed to play bullet hells. Loved the music though, and throught the fandom was pretty cool. Was more a fly-on-the-wall when it came to the fandom, just reposting stuff I like.

Point being, when I mention being a secondary, the first thing that comes to mind isn't this, but degenerates like Blake hijacking the fandom. Shit sucks man

I’m very much into the doujin side of the community myself (music mostly), I love fan works and the creative drive of the people who actually care about the series as a whole, nothing wrong with being a secondary if you can show love towards the original works and not be a giant retard when broadcasting yourself as a fan of Touhou.

Like the Amanojaku above me said. There's nothing inherently wrong with being a secondary and with how difficult bullet hell and fighting games are, i don't really blame anyone for passing on them and instead just listening to the music and reading the official stories or actual good fan-creations. The issue arises is when you insert your own dumb interpretation of a character or the world and then declare that this is how it's officially like and anyone who disagrees is just simply mad. Many of these western fags tend to be like this (Saying that 2 characters are in a relationship or everyone in Gensokyo is a lesbian, typical cringe shit) while the remaining ones who aren't like Blake or his coomer gf, keep to themselves and don't really say anything from what i've seen

Well, as you probably do know, groups of people tend to be judged by the loudest worst examples of those. Hm, don't know where I was going with that notion, but yeah, there'd be some insane people in any sort of community or whatever group. Perhaps in cases of feeling like surrounded by all those crazies one could try gathering a group of their own, based on some ideas/principles that they'd share in common (like based around creating whatever, or appreciating some works).

Also, perhaps unrelated and you may not care much, Ikaruga is quite an unique game and a tough one indeed for someone who didn't mess much with shmups. If you'd like to give those another go, I got a list of stuff I could recommend which ain't the hardest games to play. Sorry, can't hold myself from sperging out about shmups if I get an opportunity. Although perhaps that's something to take into DMs as to not clutter the thread.

Unrelated to anything, but all this talk of Ikaruga reminded me of a page from a doujin I read.

Appreciate the offer fren, but don't think shmups are my cup of tea. Galaga's about as far as I can go with the genre

I can name some Touhou fangames that are outside of the schmup genre, Mystia's Ikazaya is a good one for example.

Having so little of a personality whatsoever to the point where you will immediately identify with a random character then shove down everyone's throat that you believe everyone is in fact scissoring each other because they're all girls must be sad.

That'd definitely be interesting, haven't dove too deep into fangames. Think the only one I've played was Luna Nights (which I absolutely loved).

That explains why they're getting so shit then. Art reflects reality.

The mainline games getting stale and shitty is mostly down to ZUN being a lazy fuck since he has no other reason to make them good anymore besides the yearly obligation. The recent hot topics only started to accumulate to a noticeable effect past LoLK; whereas then, the Hifuu stories in the music CDs and ZUN's perspective on religion were the topical things he'll write about in the omakes.

I'm over the secondary hate at this point because at the very least, you can influence them into playing great games and read some good SFW doujin. They'll especially be up to speed when you give them all of the official omakes and printed works so they can gain some perspective on the "canon." You just need to give them a reason to be invested in the setting and they'll be on their way.

Who I've started to dislike now is the group of "fans" below the secondaries who don't even bother to learn about the series. The tertiary are the types who sincerely take their turbo retarded headcanon as the official thing over anything else. They'll watch the fumos and meme videos on YouTube along with showing off their, as much as I hate to say it, lack of literacy for the franchise. You'll see them frequently on social media as they will make their presence known on every corner. For they are awfully obnoxious in letting you know that Reimu and Marisa are more than "friends."

The tertiaries are who Blake and company happen to be. A bunch of weirdos who wish to watch 2D anime girls scissor one another, start gooning sessions with minors, get in fights with "based" nationalist 2hutwt accounts and will gang up on other people for not wanting to hear their bullshit. A secondary will have some humble knowledge to show over the tertiary who is very prideful in not knowing what they're talking about. That's why I consider them worse in every regard as they hold no shame at all in using Touhou as a skinsuit for their wack ass interpretations.

I have no idea why anyone uses it aside from cooming.

Its search function is actually functional and artists actually tag their art on that platform, so in that regard it's got infinitely better discoverability than misskey, xitter, or bluesky

Not really, though I was having some thoughts to get some of the overpriced figurines. But then I've remembered that they were overpriced.
Kind of a shame that fumos got hit by scalpers due to shooting up in popularity with all the memes, some of the designs do look nice. I recall there was also some custom-made Okuu fumo, didn't some youtuber make it?

I have a Yuuka, her skirt kinks a lot but she's really high quality.

I wish I did, but I agree with Touhou Hater Fan, they can be really overpriced due to scalpers.

Not me, but I know a coworker of mine (or at least, someone that parks in my parking lot) has a Nazarin fumo in his car.

 

[Ed Special]

I will admit to being a dollfag.

I recall there was also some custom-made Okuu fumo, didn't some youtuber make it?

Yumemey (the youtube trannoid who popularized fumos in the west) made at least one, and then there's also Cherries, who made and sold a small run, and then there's the official Okuu fumo. Blackriver Handmade (aussie ex-pooner and ex-brony) also designed and had a Chinese factory produce about 100-150 30cm Okuu plushes.

I have a Remilia V1, Koishi, Reimu V1.5, Koishi LostWord, Yukari Kourindou, Satori, Kappa, Sun Tanned Cirno, and Renko
