I legitimately like the touhou games for the music, the gameplay, and the stories. Being poorly drawn anime characters, made to look cute and childlike most the time, and never really noticeably sexual, I never had sexual thoughts about them.If you want to sexualize the characters, im not the police- but i want to say;I beleive i'm looking at the game the way ZUN intended. Do other people feel this way at all too? Sometimes I wonder if most the touhou fanbase is just gooners, which makes me really wonder if I should ever even mention liking the game to anyone, to avoid getting the wrong idea.I tried to introduce one friend to toho already, and he thought it was just a pedo thing. He was surprised i even play the games
>>50652535>I tried to introduce one friend to toho already, and he thought it was just a pedo thingdo zoomers really?
>>50652773Maybe if weren't for you faggots ruining it by projecting your sick loli fetish onto it
>>50652880maybe you should go to reddit if it upsets you that much
>>50652535Legitimately implies one can like touhou illegitimately. Are you an illegitimate touhou fan? Did you never goon to the CHARACTERS anon? And you call yourself a 2hu ENJOYER? Truly disgusting behavior.....
>>50652535>I beleive i'm looking at the game the way ZUN intendedThe way Zun intended was letting the fans go wild, gooning had its importance in keeping it alive for 20 years just as much as everything else.>I tried to introduce one friend to toho already, and he thought it was just a pedo thing. He was surprised i even play the gamesif the first thing your friend thought when seeing THIS was that touhou was a pedo thing then he probably IS the pedo
>>50653086>gooning was essenchul of kiping toe hoe aliev mayne... yeah i be habsing a deep unerstanding o de gaymes n shieet
>>50652951If i go back it won't change that lolicon is pedophilia but you guys aren't ready for that conversation
>>50653136NTA but it's true, porn is the backbone of Touhou and what keeps it alive. Notice how Seihou has no porn and it's dead despite having the exact same gameplay and music as any Touhou game, just sayin.
>>50652535>Do other people feel this way at all too? I have no clue what is and isn't ZUN authorial intent and honestly I'm scared to find out.But yes, ZUN largely stays away from sexualizing the Touhou characters
>>50653142>Notice how Seihou has no porn and it's dead despite having the exact same gameplay and music as any Touhou game, just sayin.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_wohYiRCZxw
>>50652535>I tried to introduce one friend to toho alreadyI share your pain. I've been doing that for 10 years off and on and I have no one irl with whom to talk about Touhou. Not so much them immediately writing it off as a pedo thing, just no one cares much about it besides me. Closest person who listens at least and absorbs some lore is my brother-in-law, with whom I watch Saltybet, which has Touhou MUGEN characters (and OCs) fairly often
>>50653142I think you're just a gooner secondary who hasn't touched a game lol
/jp/ has been overrun by moralfag zoomers. all the good anons are truly gone
>>50653142>de collij projekt is deader than the kuntinyouing pashin project>GUISE DE PORN DID DIS, DE PORN IS SAVED 2HU GUYSHow many games have you played kek
>>50653166>peepil wunt to play 2hu mayne and not goon to lawlee hend tie ISS DA ZOOMERS MAYNEMaybe it's because /jp/ is a pedophilic laughing stock of the community that doesn't create OC or contribute in any shape or form
>>50653152>>50653167Yes, I have never played any official games and never will because bullet hell shooters are a lame waste of time and the floatans are not worth it when I'd rather play REAL fightans like SF. Give me more Mistya Izakaya, now that's kino. You know it's true when it outsold all last 9 official games combined.
>>50653468/jp/ is full of secondaries now?
/jp/ will be hostile towards you if you actually post about playing the games or enjoying Touhou at any level past the surface. The only accepted topics are fangames, fumos and porn.You can still find people who have genuine interest in Touhou elsewhere on the internet, don't treat this place as anything other than a shitposting ground.
>>50653544and vtumors
>>50653807No one gives anons shit for playing the games. But if you act like a self-righteous faggot about playing the games, you're going to be treated like a self-righteous faggot.>don't treat this place as anything other than a shitposting groundThis part is true. Nothing left here but generals, idols, and slide threads.
>>50655547Lurk.
>>50653174
>>50653166still here tho
>>50652773all anime looking things get this these days because of the prevalence of ai generated porn and especially when these appear in mobile game ads.
>>50652535>I beleive i'm looking at the game the way ZUN intended.So in Japanese?
>>50653174so /egg/ doesn't exist and hasn't for the last 10 years?
>>50652535Every group needs fuel for the social engine it runs, /jp/ either horny posts, games, or complains.Learn to use it instead of fighting it or run to a community that uses another fuel more palpable to you
>>50652535>Do other people feel this way at all too? Not sure if I really get ZUN's intentions sometimes but I do appreciate a setting that doesn't have to put sex/romance in every corner to sell nor feel absurdly sanitized.>if I should ever even mention liking the game to anyoneDepends on who you tell I guess, if you care about being judged. Doubt anyone reasonable will judge you if you sound passionate about the games and/or music>he thought it was just a pedo thingI thought most porn had mega tits and asses.>>50653174> laughing stock of the communityidk I thought most people didn't even mention this board. And it's not like I haven't seen the glorious greatness of the fandom that's here in literally any other English speaking public place on the net.But hey If you know a place to have good 2hu talk, I'm all ears.>>50667610>mobile game adsdam. I sometimes forget those exist.>>50671799Fair. Fap and Furious is how most big communities seem to be dominated by... Honestly complains and rage seem the worst imo
>>50652535the only thing ZUN "intends" is playing the games and listening to the music. he does what he likes doing, he's not creating curated and immersive experiences carefully studied to make you horny or emotionally invested like gacha games or some pretentious devs
Honest to god why are so many western touhou artists such massive faggots(not here though atleast)
>>50678536Most Western fans are massive faggots. It's just how it is.
>>50653167who are you quoting?
>>50653151>Closest person who listens at least and absorbs some lore is my brother-in-law, with whom I watch Saltybet, which has Touhou MUGEN characters (and OCs) fairly oftenHoly shit, my kin. The only reason I got into Touhou years ago was because of MUGEN and Saltybet and being exposed to the characters and edits of them for a long time and finally deciding to see what they're from. Odds are we've watched the stream at the same time at some point lol.
