>> [_] Anon 3005324 >># Good ear, that is absolutely right. Its very specific trend on NND now to show Touhou characters preparing hot-water dishes with the Pythagoras Switch jingle.

>> [_] Anon 3005334 >you'll never have a wife with fluffy tails What's the point in existing?

>> [_] Anon 3005360 >># >How did it get this way? How did one fanbase get so fucking autistic? Well, that's more of a question with Otaku in general, honestly. Niconico Douga, pixiv, etc. have a plethora of fads, some of which are only really known to a few hundred Japanese circle-jerking each other for years and years. For example, 真夏の夜の淫夢 has been a continuous fad since 2002, around the same time as "All Your Base," and its still going strong because people have a perverted community in it. Same with Gachimuchi. Touhou, and increasingly Kancolle, get the largest chunk of it because they have universal appeal. So, whatever your interests may be, if you are creating original content, it makes sense to use Touhou as a contextual base for others to get into your work. When people complain about "secondaries" its exactly these types. Regardless of the legitimacy of their talent (if you know them, its probably very legitimate), they have a huge pool of characters and fiction to tap into just be choosing Touhou. Touhou looks relatively worse off because everyone who has the best skills has already: A). Been producing content for years and ran it into the ground B). Left Touhou for Kancolle or just does their own thing (no shame in that) C). Is mediocre (again, no shame in that) D). Is a newcomer For D, Westerners in particular do not catch up on Touhou artists until months/years after the fact because most fuckers can't even read Japanese. Blind leading the blind. The Koreans, and even the Chinese 2hu fans have more of their shit together (Source: I can read both Mandarin and Japanese.) If you were Japanese and you also considered Touhou autistic, you would've just moved on to the tens of thousands of other works being published simultaneously. But I imagine that would be impossible for someone who can't even read the language, yet alone being able to read it without a headache. TL;DR: A more condensed, less diverse, fanbase, and Westerners clinging onto it.
