/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hi guys, I've played some of the touhou games and I love the culture involved, but I have to wonder where it all comes from. Is there more to it than just the games and fan art? Where does all the interaction between characters honestly come from? Is it all non-canon or is there something other than the games creating it?

Ignore them OP, they only want to discuss 3D bullshit.

Can anybody not read this thread. What part of you're replying to a one year old troll attempt do you fail to understand?

Here you go.

Primary Touhou fan: One who became interested in Touhou due to it's games. A longtime fan of shmup/arcade/retro-esque games, this person likes Touhou for it's actual gameplay, music and/or art/style. Probably has an interest in secondary works, but most likely enjoys the main games and ZUN's works more so.

Secondary Touhou fan: One who became interested in Touhou due to some offshoot (dojin works, IOSYS, fanart, 4chan...). May or may not have an interest in its main genre and more likely have not really played the games; if they did play, it's only to see what the game is like and doesn't get into it (i.e. 1CCing normal or completing extra). However, probably enjoys the side games (IaMP and SWR) and may or may not enjoy the fanworks. This is also the typical "Touhoufag."

A slight call afar is tempting me
Like a whisper sweet or an awful scream
I cannot ignore what I've always been
I am leaving again - one last time?

Laid on the pale scythe of the Moon
I play with stars around me
The elvendom is now calling out my name

My fairy and I are wandering through times
And stories forgotten, some old fairytales
Of wizards of Oz, of lost keys and gardens
Hiding secret doors that lead to a dream
For those who believe there's always a door to get in

I'm hearing scratches at my door
Somebody wants me again
Some little creatures will be my fellows tonight

My demon and I are playing some
wicked games I should not play, not fair to be played
Don't tell anyone the place where I'm going
'cause they won't believe - This time I don't know
If I'll ever return, say goodbye for me to my home

Old one seems to be dead/no longer on the front page.

Midwest Intermediate, I have no true main

Ok /jp/, I've been away for around a month.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? NEW TOUHOES?
