It looks like a crime scene.
Going to friends' livestreams to do fuck all and drink, for one. But I would imagine there wouldn't be anything worth mentioning, even if I knew a cohort who can translate things for us. The man can be weird but we're not so sure on how weird and it is what we'll never know.
Reminds me of another case.
From what I gather, not everyone is even really aware of the guidelines, as there were several cases of some fangames trying to go comercial before doing that was allowed, though I don't remember exact names of those, yet I am sure something like that did happen. And there's also Touhou porn fan-games being put up on Steam, though I guess the guidelines listed in the angry post by the PC emulation guy may also be the outdated ones. It's quite a free for all, huh.
that whole blogpost made my day just a bit sadder, fuck. i was aware of his not so subtle tracing of alicesoft art, but i didn't know he also purposefully replaced copyright strings with his own to look like some kind of prodigy. he fucking got away with it. people like toby fox became inspired by him and went on to make their own successful series (toby fox in particular afaik has his own interesting "remixing" with a few assets, mainly just sound effects, but not aware of anything to the extent ZUN went) and everyone just raises the drunk japanese man to such a high pedestal.
I can live with it. However, if the music gets worse, we can assume the drinking has finally got him and he will soon Nick Rekeita his family and career.
people think it's just him being out of touch with American politics (which I could possibly buy considering the fact he uses that discussion to immediately talk about Japanese elections with a clearly much better grasp on the subject).
If I remember correctly, ZUN's X account ended up getting hacked by a crypto scammer.
That's Team Sigyaad, a studio who make glorified PowerPoint slides. While I'm not certain, I suspect this guy is the head of the group.
He talked about what a few characters smell like on a livestream a while back:
I'm pretty sure the Discord kittens legal name is Hana Perez. Unfortunately, there's a non-zero chance she's illegal (she mentions growing up in Mexico and being from Panama), so the classic people search won't suffice although someone could probably triangulate her via weaponized autism (take the wealth of pics she has and match them to Zillow listings in Arlington, Virginia.)
From what I've seen, his contributions are literally just being the mod of a decently sized Discord server with a sizable chunk of users who know little to nothing about Touhou and simply see it as yet another Zoomer hangout. According to the 2020 archives of his account, the Miku obsession got him nowhere in terms of follower count (much to Blake's dismay), presumably due to the Vocaloid community only congregating around people who make music, MMD animations, and fanart.
Even though the subject is bizarre, I have to respect the attitude here.
Well he's married with kids so presumably that takes up a lot of his time, he's mentioned his wife a couple time but if I remember she used to work at a company that made phone games and now occasionally helps him out with the art. He still puts out bi-yearly releases of Touhou games, not counting sidegames which he has varying levels of involvement with, he composes the music CDs, writes the print works which he has varying levels of involvement with, there's the official Touhou magazine Strange Creators of Outer World, and of course he gets drunk and hangs out with his friends on live stream.
I think that's kind of an extreme conclusion to jump too just based on music hypothetically getting worse combined with him being out of touch with foreign politics. honestly I think he's more likely to die by liver failure then coke out, become a cuck, and drug up his kids. For one thing I think he's just too old to have that much energy in him.
That's the joke.
I recall some mentioning that some of the recent touhous, Sannyo, I think, was canonically lesbian? Or it was some other purple girl from recent games, and it also may be that there were some translation goofs that try to push their agendas. Although I feel like this may have been discussed and disproven before ITT, or was it only about the whole Hisami obsession with Zanmu being intrepreted as romantic? I don't really keep track of whatever's going on in the newer games so far.
It was just that. A similar thing happened with Tenshi and Shion when they showed up in WaHH. Reminder: to these people, there is no such thing as a platonic relationship.
Which is part of a bigger problem I have with shows with a primarly female cast.
