Yeah, pretty much. Also, his policy towards fan works is extremely lenient and it always has been. In fact, I think ZUN enjoys quite a few Touhou fanworks!

I shouldn't have titled my response to his post as an "argument", perhaps "causal factors" or something to that effect. What I'm trying to say is that the Japanese fanbase isn't inherently "better" because it's Japanese and the western fanbase isn't inherently "worse" because it's not Japanese, but that there are other cultural and economic factors behind this perceived discrepancy in the quality of the fan-produced content by the western fans of Touhou as opposed to the Japanese fans.
