define third world

>>46851349
anything that's not the USA or western europe

>>46851349
>>46851411
oh, and Japan, forgot

>>46851349
if you have to ask... memes aside, he probably means the common definition of thirdworld, ex: the entirety of south america, SEA; and not the 4chan one, ex: the US, europe, china, canada, Russia(pretty much every single country that (you) dont like)

>>46851284
Las Tojas are fairly popular here in Latin America

>>46851284
I am, unfortunately.

>>46851462
I would beg to differ
>>46851430
yeah I think that's accurate

>>46851430
>China
>Russia
Those are second world btw.

>>46851503
Russia/Ukraine count as 3rd worlders in my book. China is it's own beats, you could argue Touhou is as big there as in Japan.

>>46851284
I just lurk and funpost whenever a thread gets derailed, I otherwise dont like to interact with the average poster of this place.
>>46851462
>>46851492
I think they are, they are not uber popular, but they have a niche, but again, thats a niche, so maybe I am biased since TH enviroments tend to be very echo chamber heavy.
I remember some anon asking me why does the western wing of the fanbase house so many hispanic creators, I thought that was very funny.

I'm from Israel and I love Alice

>>46851739
>girl who makes, plays, and controls puppets
Yeah that fits

>>46851682
I understand the niche and echo chamber aspect of it and why that gives the sensation of a degree of popularity, but in practice I would argue very few people know about Touhou and the ones that do care very little about it.
I cosplay 2hus and have been in different venues in different cities and the amount of approaches I because of touhou is fairly minimal. 2hufags exists out there thats for sure but encountering them is rare

>>46851857
>and the amount of approaches I because of touhou is fairly minimal.
I meant to say "and the amount of approaches I get because of touhou is fairly minimal." fug

>>46851857
It reminds of me CV, CV "seems" popular down here, but its just that the few hundreds who know about it are very vocal and united. Same thing TH, it seems popular because we make a lot of noise, but we are very few, and the fact that TH is not as popular as it used to be doesnt help.
>I cosplay 2hus and have been in different venues in different cities and the amount of approaches I because of touhou is fairly minimal. 2hufags exists out there thats for sure but encountering them is rare
To be fair, you dont have to be from the third world to get that effect, the only place you will get consistent recognition is in japan, everywhere else will be just null.

>>46851492
>>46851682
>>46851857
I'd argue that the overall community size on the Hispanic side of things is about equal to the English part.
There are the characters who are easily recognizable memes, you know the ones, beyond that you need to be find a fellow "knower" to get any kind of interaction. So, same thing as with the US.
That said, amongst the more obscure otaku subculture, Touhou is still the biggest I'd imagine. Maybe not a few years ago where there was a massive Danganronpa boom due to the first two games receiving some amazing translations, but aside from anomalies and ever changing tides of the internet, Tojas is still the most consistent.

>>46851903
>the only place you will get consistent recognition is in japan
While true, I would dare to say I am more likely to find more people into touhou outside of the continent. I know fellow cosplayers in non hispanic countries that keep finding new people and even other touhou cosplayers.
>>46851944
This seems correct. Add the caveat that our territory is much more extensive which makes the fans spread thin across multiple countries. Other than that I agree that Touhou remains fairly consistent in size and even new peopel getting into it

>>46851284
Brazil here. Feels like the fandom here is significantly smaller than in Latin America. Tried to get a few friends to like it, to no success. Only had success with imouto.
I came to 4chan just to discuss Touhou. None of the other places were good or active enough.

>>46851857
>I cosplay 2hus
Are you female or female(male)? This is very crucial context.

>>46851944
If this is so, where even is the Hispanic community gathering? At most I have seen some people on Discord posting memes, but nothing close to Moriya or /jp/ in size and activity.

>>46852548
Hispachan before its closure and FB groups, you know, the usual.

>>46852527
I would still fuck regardless of the answer

>>46852527
male(male)
>>46852548
I know some groups focused on translating works into spanish as well some other groups that seem pretty decent in terms of people that know about touhou beyond the surface

>>46851462
What makes Touhou appeal to Latinx people anyway?

>>46852627
Yeah, Id like to get into translating the pages of the wiki to spanish once I have time.
A shame they are FB/Discord exclusive though, I dont like those places.

>>46851284
I'm one of those SEAniggers

>>46852639
The same that makes it appeal to literally anyone else? Fun games, cute girls and an interesting and expansive lore.

>>46852548
Ever since Hispa closed down I don't know of any other central communities aside from the aforementioned Facebook groups and I don't use Facebook. Those groups are a pretty big deal on internet subcultures around here, most of the memes come from there.
Aside from that, just scattered people here and there. There is a small YouTube channel which got Sr. Pelo of all people to attend their podcast purely on account of liking Tojas and being Latinos, which is pretty funny.

>>46852639
¡Los juegos (eran) gratis mi negro!

I don't like how correctly all you hispanics seem to write english. How am I to know whether I'm talking to an ESL if you don't show signs...

>>46852676
>>46851462
Argentina, Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia are the 3rdworlder 2hufag superpowers.

jaypee is mostly esl, you baka eop.

coé meu nobre, qual tua Touro favorita?

>>46851284
i am from the center of south america, i moslty watch touhou content in english here and on youtube. i have never ever heard someone do as little as reference bullet hell games, let alone touhou, irl, not even my few openly otaku friends, its rare enough to see anime being merchandise in here. i have tried to contribute, but only with art, learning japanese and translating is like a far away dream

First World: Aligned with NATO.

Second World: Aligned with Russia and the former Warsaw Pact nations.

Third World: Unaligned.

It is that simple. Anything else is headcanon.

Shut up pineapple face.

Russia has no niggers while half of your country speaks Spanish and the other half negro lingo.

>>46853740
Based Russia.

I'm probably the only person in this shithole (literal) of a country who actively engages with the gameplay side of touhou.

>>46853953
Indiafriend?

>>46853969
yes

>>46853987
Cool, I have always admired India, its history, and culture.

>>46853715
Center of south America, not central america, very different

>>46854008
It's all south of America though?

>>46854008
Bolivia?

>>46851284
West African here.

I've never met anyone that knew of Touhou here in all these years, but I've at least educated a few of my friends about it. Anime is very popular and you definitely see plenty of people happy and willing to show off their tastes, but if anyone's into 2hu, they're doing a great job of keeping it under wraps. The amount of merch in the country must be insanely low.

>>46851284
I wonder how's the 2hu scene in the SEA region?

define Western Europe

Also what about South Korea and Canada?

>>46851284
Poland (or other former commie now in NATO and EU countries) is not 3rd world right? Right?

>>46853740
But Russia is full of russians though

>>46851284
I'm Brazilian. Since I am socially inept I rarely post and I never interact with any Touhou fan outside of /jp/.

>>46855162
ótima escolha, Anão

>>46856343
No według normalnej definicji ( >>46853637
) kraje Układu Warszawskiego należały do drugiego świata, a większość chyba radzi sobie lepiej niż wtedy.

>>46856343
Technically it's second world, but those terms have lost their meaning since the cold war ended.

>>46854804
I went to the local doujin convention last week and met with two Touhou communities here. They're small, but they're not as secondary as I expected. When I asked someone from the community if he also plays the games, he answered that he had cleared some of them, even the extras.

I'm Indonesian btw.

>>46851284
Russian here. I love Marisa.

>>46851739
I hate Israel and love Alice too

Assuming this is west java?

>>46856565
ótima escolha também do canal. Espero que ele faça mais arranjos em ritmos brasileiros no futuro

>>46854032
No, there is north america: USA, Canada; Central america: from mexico to panama; and south america: starting from colombia to argentina; and then there is the caribbean that has the islands in between: cuba, etc. What you probably mean is Latino America, that includes central america, the caribbean and south america
>>46854039
Yeah

>>46859366
>Yeah
Is your favorite Touhoe Murasa

The convention was held in Banten, but most of the visitors came from Jabodetabek. The convention is Comifuro 18, btw.

I hate Argentinians, they ruined Argentina.

Love from Argentina.

I think all Argentinians in the thread should commit suicide. This statement includes myself.

I'm moving to Hong Kong later this year. Will I have an easy time finding 2hu paraphernalia there?

>>46860979
Oh it's that thing

>>46851284
From South Africa.

Is Florida a 3rd world country?

>>46851284
Colombia here.

>>46863612
The entirety of America is.

>>46863612
>>46866001
I wondered how long it'd take a firstie to say their homeland was actually a third world country.

Can we make a 2hu thread instead of a /pol/ one?

>>46854843
I am unfortunately from that place too

I'm glad that Russia still can be considered second world, but only inside large cities, so I guess I fit itt in a sense.
>>46857376
I still am seeing what you did there.
