“Humans who create things can beat technology just by creating things. However, humans probably can’t beat business. But we don’t really need business (laughs). This idea that people need to do business while they’re alive is just a result of us all being poisoned by capitalism. Which makes me think – just doing something you consider fun and putting in the effort to refine that skill is ultimately a good thing. That’s my opinion, at least,” he added.

wow really? most of the touhou fans i know are queer people that are lib at worse, but i don't interact often with the big networks so i'm probably biased here

that said, it's not surprising it all. even things like one piece or metal gear have a big right wing fanbase that doesn't even understand the works they are reading

Coming from a very casual Touhou fan.

Touhou has a long lasting presence on 4chan since the early days of the website which brings a lot of scum and villany with it.

Like many anime adjacent things, there are the incel groyper fandom wings, and the trans communist wing.

yeah touhou is part of the background radiation of the internet
