“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.

Wtf the Touhou Project creator is a leftist? Then why is the fanbase full of right wing incels?

Every fandom is like that. EVERY FANDOM.

[–] himeneko@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

its also full of gay women and himedanshis (positive) to be fair

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

woah? Like,, a male fujoshi?? That's allowed?

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isn't a male fujoshi called a fudanshi? Himedanshi is like a yuri fan, ĉu ne?

[–] himeneko@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

yeah, danshi here means boy. himedanshi is princess boy, probably taken from yurihime the largest yuri serialization.

creating vs consuming

[–] machinya@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Veggie_Deluxe@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

yeah touhou is part of the background radiation of the internet

[–] Big_Bob@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Man, I wish Touhou could be played on Android. I played the shit out of touhou 6 back in the day.

yo, he just cant miss. im barely even aware of this guy but when I am it's because he said some based shit

(note: if he's said some cringe shit i wasnt aware of it screm-cool )

[–] Red_October@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He created a pretty rad old school bullet hell series. You could get them for free on like every computer.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Oh I know about the games lol

reisen-dance

Let's gooo let's hear it for my favorite functional alcoholic ZUN-san ⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨

Also it's a low bar to clear but he's been enmeshed in the internet and doujin culture for like over 30 years now and despite all that he seems like a normal dude who likes making music and games. He even has a wife and kids! Never got outed as a creep, always stuck to his principles about being independent, never sold out.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

It makes me so happy that he's not a massive chud despite how many chuds coopt Touhou content and characters for right wing stuff.

I will never give them Momiji
