/jp/ - Otaku Culture

"Which Touhou is your favorite?"

"I like Koishi."

More realistic would be that she likes Touken Ranbu instead.

>>16463645
god, I hope no one likes that fucking trash...

>>16463677
Is it that thing that's like Kanker Collection but with swords and they're guys?

>>16463717
Don't talk to me.

>>16463601
I'd pay for someone who likes Koishi and has Hartmann's Youkai Girl as her favorite theme.
Most realistic scenario is someone who knows only SDM characters and the usual remixes like Bad Apple or Cirno's perfect math class.

>>16463743
I met someone who didn't even know bad apple was from touhou

I know, they produce many great movies.

>>16463601
"I like when she kills everyone! She's so crazy and randum! xD"

Hey bro! I heard you like Fate/Stay Night, too!

>>16464079
>>16464120
Are you saying you rather be with an otaku girl than a norm girl?

>omg did you see that new kawaii song "Neko Miko Reimu"?

>>16463601
Came here to post this

>>16463601
"Really? Mine too!"

>I don't read official material or pay much attention to the dialogue, I just play the games
What do you call such a case? Still a secondary? 1.5ary?
I'm quoting myself.

>>16465369
You'd call that me.

>>16463537
rly?，wch 2hu wud u fuk?

>>16463788
That's how I was for a long time before I decided to actually find out who the hell those girls in the videos were. One thing led to another and soon as I knew it I was a touhoufag.

>>16465369
Stop misusing the quote function.

I knew a guy who played SA for more than a few hundred hours and didn't know Orin's name.

>>16465369
what if i play on easy just to know the story? secondary or not?

>>16465568
You don't get to play all bosses on easy
That's a 9/10thsdary

>>16465369
>>16465568
who cares; just play what you want

>>16465713
I'm sorry, but to post on this forum, you have to play exactly the way I want. Otherwise, I'll call you a mean name.

>>16463601

>>16465369
It's either one of those shmup fans who only care about gameplay in the 21st century or just someone who's not bad, but could do better.

I've always been afraid that if I ever met another 2hu fan their power levels will dwarf my own.

"hey dude, I just 1cc'd LoLK on hard!"

"oh I'm still working through MoF..."

"..."

>>16463537
Ok so how do I meet touhou fans in real life? I have met 1. They are more rare than fucking unicorns.

>>16469063
Think about it, do you really want to when we have this wonderful thing called Internet?

>>16469079
Shitposting all day on /jp/ and talking with an actual human being are two diffrent things, but I guess you are right?

>>16469063
Just get some friends who like videogames that aren't casual-tier and introduce them to Touhou yourself.
You can also influence their tastes as well while they're building up their knowledge.

>>16465369
That's nothing but primary. The games are the primary material, after all.

A secondary doesn't even play the games.

>>16469085
You could try your luck at comiccons or things like that, there aren't as many 2hu fans as 10 years ago, but there are still some left
But really, I tell ya as my personal experience, it's not really worth it.

>>16463537
"I like the Touhou 7 cast."
"I only know about Chen and Suika..."

They teach this stuff in English *and* History, anon.

>>16469063
The only Touhou fan I know besides myself is my sister.
At least it gives us something to talk about.

>>16469216
this. it spoils the escapism.

also, just go to fucking japan for touhou friends.

>>16466058
>mfw i made a confession as a joke and they posted it

>>16469524
Jill a cute!

>>16463537
>tfw barely know anything about Japanese culture and anime and whatever but still visit this board because Touhou made my heart melt after some anon was talking about Keine/Mokou
Well, and I like Godzilla a lot so there's that

>>16465369
me too
I really don't get all the hype surrounding the series outside of it anyway. It's just the music and colors and petty patterns that do it for me. None of the characters are that interesting or likeable.

>>16470274
Get out.

>>16470076
>>16470274
Who are you quoting lads?

>>16470274

>>16463788
The first time I heard Bad Apple was that MLP remix.
I took a while before I learned about Touhou, though I happened to watch Flandre's boss fight few times.

And yeah, before anybody starts giving me shit, I got over the mlp fad.

>>16465369
Music: primary
Games: secondary
Comics/books: tertiary
Memes: quaternary

>>16471801
The problem isn't enjoying fanworks or knowing Touhou through them.
The problem is when you don't try official material and stick mostly to fanworks.

>>16471806
What about porn
>>16471814

>>16463537
she is lying. she only wants the D

>>16470274

>>16471857
Porn is a complete disregard of canon in most cases, so quaternary.

>>16471814
Well, true.

>>16469063
Join the /jp/ meetup

I don't even have a problem with people not knowing many or all the games, I just get bothered about when someone thinks of their favorite memes as canon.
The moment I hear of pervert Aya, psycho Yuuka, glutton Yuyuko (Though somewhat of an acended meme at this point), slut whichever 2hu and so on, I'm ready to slap a bitch. Like, yeah, memes are fun for shitposting in /jp/ and comic strips here and there but fuck me if you treat them as canon.

>>16472230
Psycho Yuuka has its "canon" elements though, but it's mostly retaliation against assholes. And some intimidating comments, although it's probably just trashtalking. Another bad one would be fanon Eiki.
Pervert Aya doesn't even make sense, considering we've seen multiple Touhous (like Suika and Tewi) wearing bloomers.

>>16472320
I don' t find fanon Eiki to be THAT bad, she does lecture you a little by the end of PoFV, even if it isn't "I AM THE LAW BLACK AND WHITE WAAAHHH".
The one that really ticks me off is the already mentioned Aya one though. She's a photographer and journalist, nothing more, I don't see how that has anything to do with pantyshotting people and selling those pictures to random villagers or whatever the hell fanon has her do with those. Yeah, the Bunbunmaru is known to exagerate news, but not to outright lie about them or do such low blows as showing creepshots, leave that to british tabloids.

>>16471806
>Got into the games from pic related
>being redpilled led me to Touhou.

>>16472230
>glutton Yuyuko (Though somewhat of an acended meme at this point)
Fans didn't invent glutton Yuyuko

>>16472535
To the extent it's taken ? Yes, they did. But like I said, ascended meme and all, so it's sort of canon now. What with her having Youmu feed her endlessly in a stage background in HM.

The only time i met some toho fan was like 1 ago when i was walking in city minding my own buisness and then i noticed some highscooler with remi on his bag when we crossed paths i gave him fucking death stare that he probably shit his pants

>>16472525

>>16472525
Stop appropriating /jp/ culture!

>>16472728
momiji belonged to jp then s4s then /pol/

seriously though whats wrong with koishi?

Back in high school I knew this nerd who also liked anime so I told him about 2hu. When I next saw him years later, he didn't only succeed where I failed but was also a Remiliafag and a secondary.

>>16472792
>Remiliafag
>Secondary
>Succeed where I failed
Depressing

>>16472826
What's so depressing about being a Remiliafag? Or is it because he's a Remlilafag in conjunction with being a secondary.

Is this why popular characters get so much shit, because their fanbase is disproportionately secondary?

>>16471663
>lads

>>16469018
I want to help anon 1cc MoF!

>>16469063
I've seen Touhou cosplayers at cons, but as for actual Touhoufags, I've only ever seen any at Touhoucon.

RIP Touhoucon. The actual panels were awful, but I got some good merch and won 2 of the 3 Touhou game tournaments.

>>16465505
For me, a buddy got me into 12.3 and we played every now and then for a year or two. Good times. I loved the aesthetics and characters, so it stuck with me. I tried the shooters afterward, though I would say I'm still probably a bigger fan of the fighters, really.

>>16472644
Why are you so autistic, anon? That was a golden opportunity and you missed out on it.

I actually had for a while a female coworker that was into Touhou and was actually playing the games, although she was mostly staying on easymodo.
No I didn't fuck her.

>>16471934
>Porn
>not pentary

I have no idea what the fifth one would be.

>>16471801
don't feel bad, I was in the same boat. I started playing the games and never went back. Like missing out on a part of life I should have been a part of instead.

Honestly, if /v/ is anything to judge by, I would have to actively resist the urge to deck the average Touhou fan in the face, were I to meet them.

>>16474118
>/v/
Congrats, but I don't think your average 2hufag would go to /v/. Not THERE out of all places.

>>16474211
I'm pretty sure the average 2hufag isn't like the ones on /jp/ either.
If anything, they're those idiots you see in youtube comments.

>>16469997
>The only Touhou fan I know besides myself is my sister.
Give her the dick

>>16474503
what do you mean by average?
I find it unlikely that most who believe being a fan have some decent knowledge about it in general, have at least played one or two of the official games (even if they couldn't clear it), or have read a chapter of the printworks.
these type of people you mention just like fads, and soon forget about it while proceeding to the "next big thing"

>>16474503
What
>>16474745
Said. The people in the comment sections are just faggots who will discover a few memes here and there, post a bit about it, and jump out the boat just as quick as they jumped in. I'd consider the "average fan" to be your regular /jp/sie, you know, has at least basic knowledge of the series even if he/she is a massive secondary.
On that topic, I don't think comment section fags even qualify as quarternaries.

>>16474118
People who only talk about 2hu girls post on both /v/ and /jp/.
The more you know.

>>16463601
I looooove REtard Koishi!

>>16475756
REtard Koishi with the googly eyes~

>>16464079

Literally the worst thing about that series is not the edge, but the fact that it's ten degrees removed from anything close to canon and is so popular completely fucks up character perception.

>>16474554
if you incest

>>16476791
Going to have to agree, it's also not even the worst thing I've seen.

>>16463788
