/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>19225399
I think we can safely blame Nintendo for this. Normal faggots have been all over Nintendo as of late. Just look at how much Splatoon porn can be found on Plebbit. I don't really know when exactly plebs moved on from shitty console shooters and GTA to Nintendo, but it happened.

>>19225399
Isn't touhou mainstream already?

More mainstream is more welcome than getting drowned out by gachashit.

>>19225422
Not in the west.

>>19225399
Nice attempt at muh sekret club, touhou is as mainstream as it gets though.

>>19225422
It's getting there. Touhou has been protected since Normals haven't been interested in bullet hell games and the anime/manga aesthetic. Also Doujin culture is generally pretty difficult to get into, especially for those in western countries. I guess most people think it's too much effort to scour the internet to find content related to something they're only slightly curious about it, and Normals all seem to collectively have an allergy towards anything involving Lolis or Lolita culture so there's that too. The Touhou fanbase can be pretty embarrassing too, so it's only a matter of time before cringe culture gets a few laughs at our expense before they move on to whatever else is still sacred.

Sony’s fault for putting touhou on stage at E3 a few years ago.

>>19225399
I think Vinny and Joel both pretend to know less about 2hu than they actually do. They probably get e-mails asking them to play the games constantly and are likely annoyed by it. It's very difficult to not at least know of 2hu since its fans have been spreading the gospel all over the Internet for over a decade.

>>19225604
Joel plays/has played touhou, although he isn’t a huge fan. He was naming characters in the chat during the stream. Also, Joel will soon be running the official Sweden twitter account soon.

>>19225641
Joel also knows stuff like gachimugi which did make itself more well know thanks to aniki dying in March. I expect touhou to come soon but who knows. It’s a surprise how this franchise is pretty not known to much aside from the porn and some weird memes on the internet

XD

>>19225399
Touhou has been mainstream in asian countries for a long ass time now, and while its been somewhat mainstream in the west for quite a while its not really going too get any bigger than it already has here. I understand this fear of "if it becomes more mainstream normals will ruin it for the rest of us western fans" but thats stupid. That implies that hasnt been the case for years and that our culture is that fragile. Alot of us act scared of "Normies" but really we should take up the task of setting them straight and actually try and make people understand and have actual investment. At the very least is better than treating them like a boogeyman and seeming weak.
Also its not like youtubers doing videos related too Touhou is anything new. Its nothing too lose your shit over.

>>19225415
This.
>I don't really know when exactly plebs moved on from shitty console shooters and GTA to Nintendo, but it happened.
Because of the normalization of nerdy things and bullying being illegal in schools as well on normalfag social media, or total shame if it is not bannable or illegal. As well Pokemon becoming really popular within normalfags with Go.
BUT, it is still shameful to do nerdy things in non-white/asian communities desu.
>>19225399
Its fine, also adding the fact that normalfags won't last 2 weeks playing EoSD, but the fighting games could become popular though.

>>19225399
Touhou has always been known to anyone that's into manga or anime. Fanart is absolutely everywhere, the music has always been popular, and the games are some of the best known of the genre. But don't worry, normalfags won't ruin it.

>>19226501
I can’t see them going big anyway with those memes since they’re so vapid. It’s like once they’re made, they last one day and that’s it. Touhou can live past that, and normals would just move on.

>>19226592
That's what I was getting at. It won't be the next big thing, but there's no use pretending it's some super obscure series known only be the most dedicated weeaboos.

>>19226791
And then again, your not gonna see much of the “haha look at weebs” stuff because touhou in the west is pretty much it’s own thing. Some of it is prevelant but the so called “cringe” isn’t as deep as other communities

>>19225399
> complains that Touhou is reclining
> complains that Touhou is getting more mainstream

Decide in just one, motherfucker

>>19227146
A niche community remaining small is always better to it being overcome with newcomers who have little to no interest in how the community operates.

>>19227184
Exactly. But I like a balance. I like when a few new people enter because it shows there’s people who care. Not a complete wave of people that go “huuurrr sakuyas pads XDXDXD”

a god was interested. The effect shows it all

>>19225415
Go back there, kudasai.

>>19225415
I don't think normalfags are the primary consumers of cartoon porn.

Can't wait for this board to get flooded with even more newfags who then gravitate towards 3D posting and greentexting.

why do you still stay in this shithole?

>>19225399
>vinesauce
>mainstream

Ah yes the big three of youtube. Pewdiepie Jacksepticeye and this other channel with less than a million subs

Touhou fans are lot like vegans. You don't need to ask them are you into it because they will tell you... They will tell you and then hit you in the head with the fact until the only thing you can do is to scream in agony.

Mainstream? Really now?

i cant wait till pewdisepelier plays toowho 15 and clownpiss becomes the nobies fav 2hu

Reimu play geimu!

>>19225399
all those weird high school kids grew up and started youtube channels so make everything normie af

>>19225399
Touhou is never going to become mainstream. At best, a few more people get into Doujins/fangames/music. Both the games and the print works, are going to remain niche as fuck. Even on this very board, most people don't give a fuck about either one of those.

>>19225995
bad post

>>19225399
1. It's not and will never be mainstream
2. That video is painfully unfunny and embarrassing

>>19227195
Maybe we should nuke Brazil?

>>19225399
Assuming youre talking exclusively about the West: Its a combination of an increasing number of nintendrones, normalization of anime/manga in the west, getting published to Steam, and the increasing popularity of bullet hells (example: Undertale). Ive heard Touhou mentioned or discussed a shitload in the past year. Could be a good or bad thing.

>>19225604
No, I genuinely think Vinny is pretty ignorant about most of the touhou shit. He barely knows the names of the most famous and mainstream touhous that he heard from those old fan videos.

I fucking hate his demeanor about anime in general.

>guys i dont -hate- anime, i am just not familiar with japan and their culture
>only be exposed to absolute garbage and nothing else
>continues to make fun of anime and make stupid comments about it
>guys what if we just did a stream of gal gun 2 as tourture haha, no one actually likes games like that right? man japan is weird XD

>>19225641
> running the official Sweden twitter account soon
So he is going to be bombard with tweets about muslims raping and destroying his country?

>>19249002
Still dont know why anyone is attributing anything too the Steam releases. Like 2/3 of the Steam sales came from China, and the majority of westerns who bought those releases are already fans. Other than the official releases its not like fangames have really taken off on Steam, except the one which again got most of its sales from China.
Also I wouldnt say Bullet Hells are getting more popular. Just because Undertale was big doesnt mean a whole lot. Its not like the bullet hell gameplay is really what made that game stand out anyway. You can certainly make an argument here but personally I feel that the genre hasnt really been on that big of a rise.

>>19248967
Good idea

>>19230230
>>19227654
>Not counting hentai
I mean, by "unspoken truth"(mass opinion) it's implied that hentai IS cartoon porn.
Masturbating on western style cartoons was always considered to be degenerate ,on contrary to eastern "it's drawn porn but without sex" stuff in west,"chinese porn cartoons" and all.Or am I that out of touch?

I'm not sure, but i think normies don't play arcades, when i go to the arcade saloon i see a lot of oldfags like 25-35 range (Mostly playing King of Fighters).

>>19249456
This sort of willful ignorance people have is less annoying to me, more eye-rolling. Like, they don't want to admit some things can be good. Touhou definitely gets this the worst. People see meme bullshit and assume the source material is just loli filled generic lesbian crap.

>>19252436
And then everyone goes “ZOMG youz a pedophille for liking 2hu XDXD”

>>19225399
>suddenly

reactions i received when i showed touhou to a normie friend.

-Is touhou an anime?

>Touhou 12.3
-This is really good, it´s like guilty gear.
-Why they´re all girls?
-Get frustrated against CPU and begin sayin "fuck you bitch" a lot, and giving sexual tone/joke at everything in the game.
(So for normie loli=flat chest anime girl.)

>Touhou memes
-This is cancer, i can´t endure this shit.

>Touhou 6
-"This is good, can i play it in my phone?"
>dies, get frustrated and start spamming bombs against Cirno, dies against Mei Ling.
- "I give up, it got me nervous, is un-comfy."

Music
I like it, t's like megaman x music.... Ok it´s enough.
>Oh, it have japanese lyrics? change music and play:
Full metal alchemist OP
Digimon OP
Death note ED
Naruto.

>Do you think anime girls are cute?
-"Lol no, just league of legends girls"

Is it really a suprise when the lore is so difficult to understand for your average normalfag?

>>19255110
The lore is not just difficult to understand. It's intentionally difficult to understand. And it ultimately exists only as inspiration for different people.

>>19226342
>bullying being illegal in schools

Lolwut? Since fucking when? School personnel are too pussy to actually discipline and teach asshole kids a lesson. They only tell them to say "sorry" and then expect them to actually stop.

Also technically it's usually normalfags who are the bullies, and the ones who do get bullied tend to become contrarian and hate normalniggers for being such faggots. Think about it, why did the columbine shootings happen? Because Eric and Dylan were bullied by the normalfags to such an extent where they finally snapped and had enough of the normalfags.

>>19255131
This, and it's also the main reason why normalfags haven't fully latched on to touhou and depleted it of it's last remaining life force.

>>19255160
Most normal people with a interest in Touhou would just go read fan Doujin's anyway

>>19255138
Your meaning of normal fag is too broad.

>>19255243
It's really simple: Average person that can't think for himself, follows everything popular and jumps on the bandwagons of anything popular, be it popular memes, games, movies, etc, also your average person that probably browses reddit, is extroverted and social, and "has a life".

>>19255322
Ofcourse, normalfags can also include the normalfags who think they aren't normalfags, aka people who like less popular stuff then your average normalfag, but still likes popular stuff and has shit taste, thinks he is "cool" and contrarian and not a normie like actual non-normalfags , but is infact still a reddit normalfag.

>>19255322
>>19255329
>Average person

>can't think for himself
>follows everything popular
>jumps on the bandwagons of anything popular
>browses reddit
>extroverted
We are discussing at least 10 different, potentially self-excluding groups of people in here. Are you sure it's not just your definition of "them" in YOUR little bipolar world?
>normalfags can also include the normalfags who think they aren't normalfags, but is infact still a reddit normalfag
And at this point it's just a sect mentality.

Also your obsession with reddit disturbs.

>>19255083

>>19226342
>Pokemon becoming really popular within normalfags with Go
pokémon was always popular.

He won't be your friend for much longer.

Touhou reclining anyway so that doesn't matter.

>>19264575
ZUN will keep making Touhou content. It really doesn´t matter.

gachi and twitch?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgLZjvP2RGE
Can someone explain to me?

>>19269553
ZUN allowed some shitty fangames to be published on consoles so now normalfags think Touhou is a shit series with shit gameplay. That's good though. It slows the entrance of new secondaries.

>>19225995
I'm not afraid of normies getting into Touhou, I'm afraid that if it becomes mainstream in the west it will be politiced like video games and comics to the point that it'll be impossible to have a discussion on whch 2hu wud u fug without SJWs complaining about objectification of women or a Momiji thread without /pol/ derailing it.
