Yes!
Blonde lolis are very soothing, very befitting Gensokyo as a whole!
And the rose amongst bitter thorns theme of Flan-chan represents the whole realm perfectly as well!

Just imagine how D4DJ would be if Yurishii was still around. I imagine that, since Yurishii was a DJ herself, she would have been part of the franchise.

There's a site tracking the contributions by folks at https://d4dj.yatta.moe/tools/ranking and so far it's all just coming down to each character having 1 giga-whale contributing like 90+% of the "points" for each character.
People are pissed about it because these in-game polls are going to determine future content for DJs, so whales will get to dictate content to normies/casuals.

Essentially, as the subject implies, I am curious about the current state of Otakudom in 2026. In particular, there are three main things I find myself coming back to when I think about the Otaku identity. This may seem a little bit overexaggerated or a non-issue to some, and I am not trying to make it something bigger than it has to be, but feel it could be interesting to discuss.
Mainly: 1) The current state Animanga, VNs, other cultural things, etc. being seen solely as things to consume rather than produce yourself or discuss with others
As of late, it seems like people simply consume things to be part of the club without actually caring about the work much - it's why you see so many video essays, people not knowing how to get deeper into things without being recommended something,etc.
2) How to garner a community, big or small, that values creatives in the western hemisphere
Obviously we would never have our own comiket, or LN / VN industry here, but more fan creations would be cool
3) Where to even gather online for such things
The internet is only getting smaller and existing just in the small bubble of 4chan is not good

I could've expanded or tried to articulate myself more but thought I would be brief. Basically, what is the modern otaku like to you and how can it change for the better. For me, I just wonder what there is beyond pure consumption of works.

Eh. 4chan is big enough to host its own ecosystem. The need to overextend ourselves is how you end up with an abomination like r/touhou.

This is about anikura (アニクラ) which is a portmanteau of the loan words anison (アニソン) and club (クラブ). Interestingly enough, anison itself is a portmanteau of anime (アニメ) and song (ソング) which refers to musical tracks used in various anime series and is often misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Regardless, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence the genre's name. Still confused? Lurk moar.

One of the more notable anikura is Akihabara MOGRA (MOGRA for short) which has been associated with this imageboard for well over a decade. However, just limiting yourself to one venue would be a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan and the world! For those who wish to explore the anikura scene in Japan, otaku-bar.com would be a great place to start your journey.

Although the primary source of anikura comes from venues in Japan, there are also shows and events held online. As previously mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are also individuals associated with MOGRA who stream online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA, who goes by the channel name of 'choroyama' on Twitch. MOGRA can be used as the base on discovering other venues and even DJs who also stream online.

Since online streaming is the play, there are international anikura which primarily stream online and also hold physical events when available. One of the anikura group that can trace their origin to this very imageboard would be Anison Hijack which has been streaming consistently every two weeks on the Twitch platform. Obviously, there are many international anikura online and hopefully you can check them out!

The following is a sample list of various anikura that stream online via Twitch.

JP clubs:
mogra
tsukiyume_jp (Tsukiakari Yumeterasu [Moonlit Dreams] in Kawasaki)
akibaraizeen (Anison DJ Bar Raizeen)
a_alchemi (Akihabara Alchemist)
