/jp/ - Otaku Culture

The Japanese fanbase isn't much better. And hating something for its fanbase? That's fucking stupid.

You don't hate something for the fanbase. You hate the FANBASE itself if it's too obnoxious.

>>5840076
I misunderstood. Carry on then

It's just that sometimes you don't want to be associated with the general image of something's fanbase.
It's stupid and it's just being a weakminded retard giving in to peer pressure, but it happens.
If I hear someone chucking Cirno jokes at me as soon as I say I like the games again...

>Check DoDonPachi superplay
>#KirillKrasov
>This game is easy if you played Touhou

Seriously..

Maybe it's my nostalgia glasses, but I've started to hate Touhou because the new games just aren't as good.

>Raiden II gameplay
>what a boring looking game touhou is soo much better
Why do people do this

>>5840116
OP here I kinda agree with you things were looking great around Imperishable Nigh and PCB but then after that its just been going down hill.

UFO was one of the most boring shooters I have ever played, i have more fun playing Galaga I am serious.

No, but I started hating the CAVE fanbase recently.

>>5840127
You can¨'t really say that these Death Smiles kiddies are CAVE fanboys especially since they have not even played anything but death smiles.

It would be best if someone decided to release Raizing,Psikyo,Seibu Kaihatsu games to even out a bit on the fanboy frontier.

I love Touhou precisely for its fanbase. Never before have I seen such dedication. So productive, so much love. And even in the Western fanbase, the heroes at Gensokyo.org and elsewhere work hard to provide for the fans.

I wish people would have less flame wars and come to appreciate how amazing it all is. I agree that some fans are jarring, but the dedication of the productive fans who actually produce works rather than complain are the shining jewel of the Touhou experience. I've come to love Touhou more and more deeply as each year passes on. The entire experience is something that no other series I know can match, and it is a large extent due to the love and passion of the creative fans.

>>5840213
HHNNNGGGGG
C-Can you marry me?

>>5840213
That would be the Japanese fanbase who produce things. And most of the things they produce are lined with shit, such as forced memes and ridiculous wordplay.
The Western fanbase, however, is much worse in the sense that they constantly spew bullshit. They don't even play the games, but still label it as one of the best STGs series ever. They just listen to shitty IOSYS arranges and fap to the doujins.
This isn't an issue of secondaryfags or not, but the people who claim to claim to be fans don't actually play the games, which the series consists of. They just bandwagon along with the other people considering themselves "fans".

>>5840269
I am pretty sure eastern fanbase has those too. It's just we see only tip of an iceberg.

>>5840073 And hating something for its fanbase? That's fucking stupid.

twilight.

Touhous fanbase at least produces lots of original content. 95% of it is pure cancer, but there's some good stuff too.

Two games I never let myself get into due to their shitty fanbase are Counterstrike and Team Fortress 2.

nah, i hate touhou because it's a pretty shitty series of shooters.

the fans can be annoying though. just go watch a youtube video of any real shooter and you'll probably see an argument involving touhou in the comments. they're almost as bad as naruto fans.

>Giga Wing video
>ReimuxRemilia
>What an fucking Touhou ripoff

Really now really?

Touhou is the fanbase. You hate the fanbase, you hate Touhou. Likewise, you hate Touhou, you hate yourself.

Wow, I remember playing Darius when I was like 12 years old. So much fun. This image sure brings memories.

>>5840108
>>5840117
>>5840327

yes, this is exactly my point. touhou is to shooting games what naruto is to anime/mangna.

>>5840352
Fucking Ikeda tell Asada to give us the real port already not that Iphone garbage

>raiden Fighter aces video
> it's seems fun ...but..

>The patterns and difficulty don't seem to be hard at all....

>i would easily play but if you want a challenging SHMUP go for touhou series.

You gotta be fucking shitting me

>>5840365
Let's face it, guys - fans of iPhone games have no right to complain about other fanbases.

>Using Youtube comments as some kind of quality argument
Really now?

>>5840419
It gives you a pretty good overview of the typical fan yes.

>>5840404
Who the hell is a fan of iphone game.

>>5840427
It gives you a pretty good overview of the typical youtube poster.

>>5840258
Marriage is too complicated! Mokou is not good with complicated procedures. But everyone can be good friends!

By the way, what has each person in this thread contributed to the Touhou fandom?

>>5840352
As much as I hate the fanbase, I still love the games.
Makes me sad.

Now I know why some people desperately cling to obscure games and genres just so they can talk about something and try and look cool without thousands of slobbering fans behind him negating everything good about what he likes.

Someone slap me, I think I just complimented hipsters.

>Worst Fanbase
>Touhou
You haven't seen the Twilight or the Sonic fanbases have you?

>>5840213

That and its open-ended nature due to ZUN spending little time on character development and letting peoples' imaginations run wild. I wrote a paper on it...and I got an A. Don't fucking ask me how I got an A on a paper about Touhou, but I did.

As for the fanbase...it's hit or miss. You can find doujins if you want to, but I like the games for being genuinely fun shmups that don't face you off against Generic Battle-Tank #36409 or whatever. There are also a bunch of random gaiden games you can find, some of which make no sense...I saw a Bomberman parody game with Meiling as the main character, probably only because of the fucking pun (Bomb-Meirin). Take what you want, enjoy it for what it is, and if someone expresses a genuine interest in it, try to help them.

I tend to tell people about the games and that despite the fact that it's populated by cute girls in silly outfits, they're still fun and help kill time. I'm not one who thinks it's exclusive and that people have to find out about it for themselves, since that's just douchebag elitist behavior.

>>5840471
Depends.
Does knowing backstory and spreading the word of Canon count?

>>5840504
We would of for comparison, and I'd say Touhou is on the same level or even worse.

>>5840520
>s that don't face you off against Generic Battle-Tank #36409
Instead you get generic animu girl #36409 which have been in shooters since 1989

>>5840535
that's quickly devolving into OPINIONS discussion.
I personally don't think majority of touhou fanbase is bad. It's just youtube thing.

you want an example of how shitty the touhou fanbase is?
pooshlmer and shirnemaiden.

>>5840520
Oh, this game?

I was just playing it a few minutes ago.

Do you fags seriously believe playing these obscure games makes you "hardcore"? No one cares.

>>5840557
>Go on pooshlmer
>See nothing horrible
>Actually not worse than /jp/

>>5840569
Derp, forgot my image.

>precision fumbler captcha
What the fuck

Personally I think the fact that the Touhou community produces so much OC automatically makes it better than most fanbases.

Sure, for every kickass arrange album/crossover game/doujin that comes out, we get ten shitty ones, but that's still one more awesome thing than the average fanbase ever puts out.

>>5840573
What obscure games?

>>5840582
Why don't you go back there?

>>5840604
He's not talking about Touhou, obviously.

>>5840613
Is he trying to say CAVE TOAPLAN,8ing shooters are obscure?

thats one the most stupid shit I have ever heard.

Whats next Gradius Is obscure

>>5840631
To normalfags, the shmup genre in general is obscure.

>>5840610
no, seriously. Nothing to rage about.

>>5840645
Since when was /jp/ made up by normalfags?

even normalfags know about Gradius,Raiden and R type

>>5840504
>Sonic fanbase
If every one of them was taken out back and shot the world would be a better place for it.

captcha: "mayo implementation"

Unfortunately i'd say gradius stands in the /jp/-/v/ spectrum.. Most normalfags dont know shit beyond Halo, the normalfag-/v/ spectrum would know about it, but most likely never play or enjoy such a game.

I have constructed a handy chart for your use.

>>5840709
How does this work? Are you implying no normalfags are Twilight fans? Because you're clearly wrong on that.

>>5840722
You consider twilight fans to be normal?

>shittiest

Now then, back to /v/.

>>5840213

I was gonna go on a long winded rant about everything wrong with the Touhou fanbase in general then I read this post and it made me realize it's not that bad.

I love Kingdom Hearts but that fanbase is far worse than the Touhou fanbase. Don't even get me started on Naruto (shitty show) and K-ON.

The Touhou fanbase needs to stick together.

The touhou fanbase needs an exodus out of /jp/ and into Pooshlmer, never to return again.

>>5840847
Aside from the emotes, it doesn't seem terribly different from a /jp/ thread

>>5841043
We don't do roulette threads in here. And that's a really disgusting roulette.

>wishing for a touhou anime
surprisingly I think it's safe to say we are a little above them

>>5840213
Of course you love the Touhou fanbase, you started that piece of shit possessedbyphoenix stream

>>5841070
Safe to say most of /jp/ is above a small portion of Poosh, rather.

I fucking love G-Darius

>>5840127
Fuck off CAVE fanboy.

>>5840709
Are you trying to say that we don't hate 3D bitches?

Go fuck yourself. woman.

I feel that OP's complain is over nothing. Every popular franchise, no matter how dignified, has obnoxious users. Touhou is no exception, and at this point you should have been able to deal with it. The bad comments, thread or materials can only get to you if you allow it. You don't need to go to Youtube and read the bad comments. You don't need to go to shitty threads like roulette and read the annoying replies. There are plenty of users here and elsewhere that rather talk about the atmosphere, music, gameplay or whatever strikes your fancy about Touhou.

And in turn we have plenty of good stuff that comes from the community. All the doujin music, the comics, the translations from the westerns, the discussions, art, etc. There is so much stuff and in volumes much higher than most other doujin works. It's up to you to filter what you like and what you don't, or else you'll end up hating everything.

>>5840063
I don't mind Touhou but i certainly don't think it deserves how large a fan-base it has, it's nothing exceptional.
Verification: Signed bear, ironically my old trip a few years ago was 'A rather large bear'.

How bad is the Kingdom Hearts fanbase?

Cave has the worst fanbase

>>5841979
Don't ask. Just don't.

The part of Touhou's fanbase that actually plays the games are great but...

The secondaries, dear god, the secondaries.

CAVE has elitist stuck of idiots that are like dont own a KETSUI PCB?

Then you dont shit about video games


but still not as bad as touhou

For people hating on Pooshlmer, just remember that it's an all-ages board. There are a lot of younger users there.

>>5842024
>CAVE has elitist stuck of idiots that are like dont own a KETSUI PCB?

I am one 99% sure that the average age is younger on 4chan than on pooshlmer.

Entertain me. I have a week.

Any fanbase with woman for majority is an auto suck labeled on it

>>5842238
*waves hand over mouth*

Like every other fujoshi-dominated fandom on LJ with the incoherence and drama?

Feed my earsm man.

All the fanbases on /jp/ suck except maybe Ever17's fanbase.

>>5842273
The muvluv one is rather classy and tasteful.

Naruto of videogames

I want Touhou to be original with it's own twist. I like the series. Even if everyone looses interest in Touhou, I'll keep playing it. It's always standing out.

Large fanbases have morons, other morons hate fanbase because of those morons

The only toohoo fans I dislike are the ones who listen to nothing but Touhou remixes. Now that's just wacky.

Sounds like the A-word actually if you're that obsessed about something so specific.

>>5842382
If you dislike it, make threads distributing non-Touhou music for them.

>>5842382
A-word?
