what even is Touhou
| Touhou is a SHMUP game series, with a handful of fighting games. It's popular for its character designs and music, though.
| but mostly for porn
| but the artstyle is pretty meh, how is it so really popular
| It is overrated
| How's it overrated? It's not like people are glorifying it to all's hell.
I think the real appeal, at least for me, is the fan community. Ya got whole circles dedicated to music and doujins. It goes beyond the game series itself.
Just a chill community with a bunch of inside-memes. I feel like it's been dropping off recently because the memes are getting stale, not many new Touhou memes out there and gacha's been overtaking everything in Japan.
| The fan community is what kills it though. You know, the linda people who acts Luke Touhou invented Danmaku and/or flying people on shmups. They'll even call bullet-hell games that came before Touhou a ripoff.
| *kinda *like (damn corrector)
| Yeah, and some people consider Touhou, to use that dumb phrase, as the "Dark Souls of bullet hell games".
Never really seen much people like that though, different parts of the fan community I guess.
| The Dark Souls of games journalism websites.
| Touhou is popular for the character *designs* not the art. ZUN's art sucks.
His music is amazing though and that's another reason it's really popular.
Touhou is also one of the easier danmaku games which could also attribute to its popularity, not so sure about this part though.
| there's no Touhou gacha hell game yet?
| >>202393 >>202397 eh, never really see these kind of people around, unless it's an ironic shitpost.
As I understand it, touhou community mostly aware of the shit art and constantly make fun of it. Just go to r/touhou
Say what you want about the community, but the fan projects are mostly high quality stuff.

Right? Out of all the things to go gacha I would think Touhou's perfect with all the girls there have. Touhou's popularity's been stagnating too. Gacha's super hot right now.
| Touhou is lolis who wear hats

| >>202576 I just just searched on youtube "mushihimesama" and clicked the top video. I don't really anything other than meme.
Anyways, every game has its percentage of idiot. Touhou is popular, it's only natural you'll see more idiots being toxic on comments section.
The majority of the fanbase don't really attack/despise other games that has bullet hell mechanics. They all know, the only thing that take down touhou is waifu collecting games like F/GO and Kancolle
| Huh, I hadn't realized there was so much hate towards Touhou until now
| >>203881
This is nothing, if you go to a site based around SHMUPs like system11, you'll see a metaphorical salt mine concerning Touhou.
| So I checked Mushihimesama.
The first video (190k views) I found there was only like 2 comments bashing on the game comparing to Touhou.
On the second one (137k views). ALL the comments about Touhou were about how Touhou lunatic can't even compare.
Where's the toxicity at?
| 9/10 that I saw were saying stuff like "I thought Touhou was hard"
