So, how many of you met Touhou through any of IOSYS's songs/videos?

I calculate about an 80%

If no, how did you get to know Touhou?

Met it through the games, I heard it was one of the hardest games in existence, so I gave it a try and loved it. Then got into the fan stuff and music/doujins/other games shortly after.

I had seen pics of touhou characters and screenshots of games but I didn't start paying attention until one day; I was looking for songs to play in audiosurf (idk why) and came across someone playing necrofantasia on audiosurf.

Secondaryfan is a person who found out about Touhou through the fanwork, and not through the games.

So basically everyone on /jp/ is a secondary.

That's not true.

A secondary is someone who hasn't read the canon works or at least play some of the games.

The first time I became aware of Touhou was in Dec 2006 and early 2007, when I came across the popular IOSYS flashes of that time.

These days, I appreciate touhou fan art and music, but I don't really care for the games. I tried playing one of them and found it boring, although the music was great.

Someone linked me to Danbooru with the touhou tag and I'm like holy fuck, these Touhou games must be fucking awesome for people to make something like 1000000000 fanarts for them.

I now know that the true reason for Touhou's popularity is its popularity. That is, it became pretty popular by chance, and its popularity caused more and more people to be exposed to it and become part of its community. It's a positive feedback loop. Kind of like facebook. I mean, even if someone made a social networking site that kicked the shit out of facebook, they would never be able to touch facebook. Nobody would leave because all their friends are on facebook.

The sad thing is, even knowing that the entire Touhou phenomenon is just a freak accident that owes nearly nothing to the quality of its starting material... I still love it.

For a brief period I thought being on 7chan was a good idea after I got sick of /b/ and still didn't realize 4chan had more boards then just that. There I was exposed to more yukkuris then I had ever before seen, and ended up discovering touhou in an effort to figure out what the hell was going on. I didn't play the games yet though, I just knew they existed (and suddenly understood all the tsurupettan spam I had just escaped)

I torrented all the games I could after seeing some guy playing Touhou in class a few months latter, since I already had all the knowledge I needed to google it and I was getting bored sick of grinding I Wanna Be The Guy's last boss all day, every day.

I listened to IOSYS (or any other remixes) until I showed Touhou to a friend, who quickly became a secondary fag.

2, almost three, years ago 7chan went offline for a what felt like an eternity (a few weeks) and I had no choice but to return here to talk about Japanese cartoons. I migrated to /jp/ because I was interested in reading VNs again and this was the place to be for that kind of crap. My first proper introduction was here but the first time I heard of it was on /a/. It was a picture of Eirin.

Nobody randomly stumbled upon it at comiket one day and said OH LOOK ILL BUY THIS GAME AND PLAY IT HUR.

We all found it through the fanworks that have been littering the internet for years. Being a secondary has nothing to do with how you were introduced to the game.

Anyway, I was first introduced by old /a/ before the split when it first started showing up, same as a lot of people. First started caring about it when I actually listened to some of the music and loved it. Had to play all the games to listen to the music, find my favorites and download remixes of them.
