Confusedfag here, what exactly IS touhou?
I mean as far as I knew it was one of those bullet hell games, but there's been so much user generated content relating back to it that I feel like I'm missing something.

[Fuyuki Osari !!SD/qp/1lfGH No.]

It's a meme.

One can obtain a fair amount of insight into the true nature of Touhou simply by watching this video:

Its a series of doujins and eroge VNs, plus some bullshit about danmokou or something like that, but thats not important.
everyones a lesbian because there is only girls in the setting, and through various flukes it got real famous amongst a cult following

an example of one such doujin
there are alot of established characters and conventions due to the ongoing nature of it
its basically a genre of porn comic, when it comes down to it

Ok... so is there like a homepage for all this shit?
I guess I'll try wikipedia, I just want to get an idea of it's history and evolution.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8677081
and yes, of course, its based around magic girls, in a way of looking at it.

[Anonymous No.]

Every is just trolling you OP. "Touhou" (東方) is japanese for eastern/oriental and is just a term everyone uses to label fanwork from japan.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8677090
exhentai, doujin, tags=touhou is if you want to find stuff from it.
As for history it was created by a beer enthusiast known as ZUN. Its nothing you really gotta know the history or anything of.

Well that confuses me even more, because I keep seeing people talk about their "favorite touhou characters", but that would basically just mean your "favorite characters" according to your definition.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8677110
It means stuff created by independant creators. Kind of like indie in the west. They are sometimes also (incorrectly) called "doujin games".

[Anonymous No.]

>>8677110
You're generalizing too much. Rather it would mean "favourite Japanese media characters", just as people have favourite comic book characters or book characters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8677119
doujin is a hentai comic
doujin games would be eroge vns.
Nobody here is that stupid.

What in the FUCK happened to this thread?!
Im dissapointed in you /jp/.

[Anonymous No.]

OP, you probably will never get a serious or straight answer since this place is full of jaded jackasses. It would be much better for your time to just use the wiki of it. http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki

Not the other one

[Anonymous No.]

Ok I think I get it now, so when people say touhou they aren't referring to any one series or group of characters.
This makes me feel very much less small, considering I'm fluent in Japanese and have been on the internet my entire life, but never really knew what it was.
Thanks /jp/

Don't use that wiki. These are fanwikis with terribly outdated information. Use the official touhou wikia wiki:

Alright, I didn't read this thread, only saw OP and this post.

Now I'm going to read this thread and I bet I'll laugh really hard.

And on that day none spread the shining light of truth till such a poor man was caught only in a duel of lies and deceit, of various forms fighting for supremacy. Was it good, in the end, the truth had won? all it takes is one light to draw the blinds and let in the sun.

Well I believe that after suicide, if you're not spiritual enough, and you don't believe enough, you go to /jp/ instead of Gensokyo. It's possible that I would just end up killing myself right back into /jp/.
