/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Saw some art on danbooru celebrating the 20 year anniversary too, so that's neat.

>touhou communities
Disgusting.

try 4x13.net/chat/jp.html

(the /jp/ chatroom)

Why do you say that? Isn't it more fun to enjoy things together?

Why do you have a need for finding a Touhou community?

What is there to discuss/talk about that has not been discussed a million times already?

>>14248177
It'd just be nice to have a place dedicated to discussing it with other people who enjoy the series.

>>14248177
Not OP, but I get what he means. I wanted to discuss LoLK with people when it came out. Sure I participated in the threads at the time, but it's not the same as talking in real time like in irc or something.

>>14248160

i was banned from #/jp/ on irc ;_;

There are none. /jp/ has the biggest english speaking touhou community and most active discussions. Then there are MotK (which you don't like) and r/touhou (which obviously is terrible). And then there are very small scattered discussions on anime forums, tvtropes etc.

You're here forever.

>>14248247
>talking in real time
get friends

Touhou is kill so good luck. In three years time the fanbase will have evaporated, leaving for greener pastures in KanColle, ShrineMaiden will go offline, and ZUN will have retired to a life of alcoholism.

>>14248148
Well do you play any games= Rythm games or the fighing games would lead you right to people with the same interest.

>>14248254
They are shit anyway not even talking about /jp/ stuff anymore. Just /v/ light at this point.

>>14248148
There's eientei forums. I dunno if it's any better than motk, and it's relatively low activity, but it's different I guess. Aside from that, there's probably irc channels you could find for whatever your main 2hu interests are. And /jp/.

>>14248148
There's also the Danbooru community and Espernet's #touhou (it's associated with the Touhouwiki people, I think).

Probably also a substantial Facebook community but I don't think anyone here wants to have anything to do with that.

>>14248407
There's also some Touhou discussion on /v/, but that tends to vary in quality from day to day.

>>14250420
Why are you going to normie board?

Touhou has that old school community interaction where most of the activity does take place in circles and events. There's not that much online discussion for Touhou even in Japanese but then there are a lot of active circle and following of doujin artists. Which means unfortunately there's not that much visible online for a western fan.

>>14250600
To talk about Touhou.

>>14250830
Where do you think you are?
You are on /jp/, a touhou board.

Why do you go to /v/ that is full of anti-weebs and anti-cute girls?

>>14250932
They play more soku and have more overall series discussion than we do. Or at least they did two years ago. I have no idea about now.

>>14250830
What do you think /jp/ is for?

>>14250932
To be fair, /v/ touhou threads are pretty decent when it comes to discussion of the gameplay itself.
2hu and other Japanese things are anathema to /v/'s cancerous teenaged userbase so it's a natural filter

>>14250932
That is a very good question.
Thanks for setting me straight anon. I'll just stay here to avoid the anti-weebs and anti-cute girls.

>>14250945
It was like that 2 years ago.
Now it has just kind of devolved into a circlejerk, where people occasionally whine about LoLK being too hard or something.

>>14248148
>I really love Touhou
>doesn't know Japanese
>comes to /jp/
You'll never find them.

>>14250945
>>14250954
No, you're supposed to talk about cute girls!
but /v/ isn't suitable for that since it's full of normies and edgy westerm shit.

>>14250989
they're normalfags, remi, not normies

>>14250966
Doesn't /jp/ feel the same?
It's not that appearent because too little people who still care about the games here.

>>14250999
It's the same thing!

>>14251016
I'll be nice.
The distinction is that people who hold social status in high regard, and would hate to transgress society's strict politically correct guidelines are loath to use a word like "fag", even when they're anonymous and it's been a term of endearment in the culture for a very long time.
"Normie" is something /r9k/ created quite recently and reddit and social media ran away with because it's a word they can say.
The more you know.

I want /v/ to leave.

>>14251010
I'd say it has more to do with not really having anything in particular to talk about, gameplay wise. Touhou has a huge skill ceiling, but it's not as if there's much to discuss about the actual act of streaming or reading patterns. And you can only rank the top games/BGM/etc so many times.

>>14251136
There is a lot to talk about in scoring, but few people do that, so it rarely happens here. I think forums/imageboards are a bad medium for conversation about the games compared to something like irc, for which there is still an active community with good players. I don't think the anonymity on 4chan helps much either.

>>14251285
Of course there's plenty to talk about with scoring, but only a fraction of a fraction of Touhou players are equipped to seriously pursue scoring over just surviving. Even though I can 1cc Lunatics, I wouldn't even begin to think about scoring a game until I can at least LNB it.

>>14251346
There's nothing wrong with learning scoring early on. It's more fun than survival in my opinion and may help you improve faster. People talk about scoring like it's impossible but you can take a category as far as you want, although some will be harder to get into.

>>14250989
lol wut

/v/ is probably the most weebshit friendly in years. It's been like this since 2012, and /v/ was only venomously anti-weeb during 2009-2010

>>14252119
It's full of redditors regardless.

>>14250420
>>14250600
>>14250932

>>14252155
Go away.

>>14252174
Make me, you little bitch.
