Everyone knows how shit the western fandom is. But what do you think has ruined it the most?

Without newfags you slowly bleed out users until only mentally ill and schizophrenic people remain. Most people that stay in the same fandom for +10 or +20 years aren't very sane.
You need new blood to have a healthy fandom.

Futa fags ruined the Hentai for me

Newfag fucktard detected.

>>50824500
the fact that the "western" fandom is now full of third worlders who just happen to speak english. I'm tired of seeing indonesians and SEAmonkeys in these spaces, the third worldificaiton of the internet has been the worst thing to ever happen to it

Unironically the white world should have its own great firewall.

>>50824500
Discord and Reddit. That is the answer for every ruined fandom.

Troons.

Futafags are the definition of tranny fetish.

trannies normalfags and third worlders

>>50824500
The fact that people feel the need to bring their real life shit into the community.
Many newfags are literal children (as in early to mid teens), though fortunately this is mostly true on reddit and such and not here (I think).
Some of the oldfags being bitter and retarded.
Also many of Zun's decisions after TD have divided the community which also certainly didn't help.

Also let's be fair with ourselves, it's not like the Japanese part of the fandom is as good as it used to be either.

Secondaries who shove themselves into spaces have always been the cancer.

4chan as a whole has returned to 2008 levels of traffic. /jp/'s traffic has remained pretty flat since the very beginning with the exception of the vtuber craze. /jp/ did a great job of gatekeeping to the point that it kept the board from growing.

All of Touhou has declined not just the fandom. The decline of the Fandom’s discourse, OC and other things is indicative of that greater decline from the “good old days” of a decade ago.

fumoslop has ruined the fanbase, brought in all the insufferable troons and secondaries

what have third worlders even done to the touhou fandom?

Lack of good OC. 90% of Western OC is just memes. The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean fandoms are creating animations, fangames, music, and other fantastic secondary creations that aren't just shitposts.

What do you suggest is better for OC?

The western Touhou fanbase in current year is either obnoxious third worlders as >>50824968 said, obnoxious underage groomed into Touhou from Roblox fumo games, or terminally online freaks constantly inserting real world shit like western politics or identity shenanigans into Gensokyo. English-speaking otaku in general have become much more normalfag over the years and are now unable to divorce anime and games from reality.
I'm not interested in seeing any of it at all, so I exclusively interact with Japanese and occasionally Chinese works.
>>
>>50827405
In terms of Western fandoms?
SCP generated a lot of OC
If you maent like Japanese Chinese and Korean fandoms making OC I would suggest Vocaloid
