Touhou Addict Recovery Center / Re: A serious topic about modern Touhou
« Last post by CyberAngel on April 26, 2024, 01:14:33 PM »
Most issues come from stuff that's going on with the internet and game industry itself rather than something exclusive to Touhou, such as gacha over-saturation and social media/discord strawberries affecting fandoms and communities.

They have a point, ZUN does have full control over what fanworks to allow and could have put his foot down. Allowing a gacha is a double-edged sword - it does let Touhou reach new crowd, but when gacha fad eventually fades said crowd will mostly remember it as just another gacha franchise, which would be yet another "Touhou is an anime" situation.

Gotta give ZUN credit though, he does keep up with industry trends, for better or for worse, instead of letting things stagnate. 18 has what's pretty much loot boxes, and latest CoLA chapter is about AI. Let's just be thankful there hasn't been a Touhou NFT.

I have some difficulty in understanding the moriya shrine OP since it seems like English isn't their first language so my brain gets all mixed up trying to read what they're getting at. But I get the feeling a lot of their wall of text is composed of fearmongering and misinterpretation of certain things (such as that FSS article.)

Also he should stop doing strange retcons (because CoLA 37 is... something). But I do not know how to make him do it.

I also don't get what their issue is with the latest CoLA chapter other than Sumireko taking the spotlight again. What "strange retcons" are happening exactly (both in Touhou and Len'en since they brought it up)?

I can agree there is some issues with modern Touhou, but I don't think what OP suggests can fix it. Most issues come from stuff that's going on with the internet and game industry itself rather than something exclusive to Touhou, such as gacha over-saturation and social media/discord strawberries affecting fandoms and communities.

Jinx really managed to do nearly everything what Touhou haters says about Touhou. He created outstanding BPoHC, there were a lot of fans who made fan content, but Jinx decided that he wanted to make gacha (nobody asked for it) himself, so he spent at least 6 years to close it in a year after release. He spent 7 years on nothing... not really, he also retconed canon. And what we have in result? Fandom is half dead, GML is discontinued, and there are still people who continue to donate him on FANBOX and watch his streams.
Glorious Memory Lane's been shelved? First I've heard of this, that's a shame. Part of me doubts it was because JynX decided to make BotC. What was the real problem? Also what is the issue with people donating to his FANBOX or watching his streams? Like OP doesn't elaborate on anything, what are they trying to say here?

That said, it mentions there has been drama around gensokyo.org? What? I joined fandom when it pretty much already died, but I haven't seen anything of the sort.

It also predates me, but my impression is that all the various forums kind of had rivalries with each other. Pretty much all of them are dead so it's moot now (besides this one, which chugs on). Gensokyo.org's domain is expired, and eientei is full of spam.

Y'know, I've been through a bunch of Touhou-is-dying doomposts since the time of Kantai Collection's rise, Touhou getting to Steam, Touhou localisation, and Touhou finally getting gacha games and the linked post kinda gives me similar vibes. There is, however, a big glaring issue with the post in question : it talks about past things and how things were, and does not take in consideration the new things that weren't there before.


Anyway, for the short of it, the linked post is probably a sincere worrypost rather than a doompost, but it just lazer focuses on what weaknesses and issues there are rather than the strenghts and boons we enjoy.

Touhou's gonna continue until ZUN's like "nahhh", honestly. Maybe 2hu's reclining for a bit, maybe not, but no need to fret over what you can't control

Nothing ever happens in these "Touhou is dyeieng" discussions ...

So, I had just worried myself just for nothing??? ☠☠☠
