Can we have a discussion about Flandre?
Why is she such an attractive character for the secondaries of the Touhou fandom?
She seems to draw a disproportionate amount of attention for a character that almost never shows up in canon works. You would think that a character that gets no attention within the canon Touhou works would be ignored by the vast majority of the Touhou fanbase. Instead, she's perhaps among the most well known, and fan speculation on both her past and her personality runs rampant. Why is this, /jp/?

Because her theme is the most popular and is responsible for bringing many people into the series. She's also in EOSD which is everyones favourite game and characters from that game are popular by default.

People love characters with almost no canon info because they can fanwank easier that way. I'd bet that if Flan showed up as much as Patchouli or had her own manga, she'd not be nearly as popular as she is now.

Not going to lie, I got into Touhou because of that mcroll shit too. It was a catchy song so I looked up the source and eventually downloaded the games to see what all the fuss was about.

My head canon is that she didn't have wing to begin with, but she saw her sister's wings, was jealous, and made her own wings by forcefully pushing two metal rod into her own spine. Somehow it works.
