Reminder that sallyfag has been doing this for years. Makes me wonder how mentally disturbed he really is.

It's hard to describe the feeling of watching something you've enjoyed, made a part of your life, and sunk a lot of time volunteering for fan projects slowly stagnate and start to decline.

However, I don't see any point in trying to find something or someone to blame. Look at the history of every fandom. Touhou's decline was and still is inevitable; as original hardcore fans die or lose interest they are slowly replaced by newer fans with no real stake in the core projects and canon materials that make up the heart of touhou. They'll furthermore have little knowledge of the context that touhou was first created in, losing original outside influences and replacing them with a mish-mash of current trends.

Why spend time raging against the natural order of things? We can't stop it as much as we might wish it. Trying to preserve the fandom/restore it to some arbitrary state where things were "better" is as possible as stopping a hurricane from coming ashore and destroying your house. It is more worthwhile to collect the things you cherish and save them by running for higher ground where the storm cannot reach you.

Reminder that if you care about what other people do and don't like you should stop jerking off to a mirror
