I don't need to vote in some sort of contest to prove my love for my favorite Touhou.
I love all Touhous and don't wish to pit them against each other in some sort of popularity contest. Each Touhou has their own uniqueness and is special in their own way.
Some people like to spam images of their favorite Touhou or try to prove to others why their favorite is the best Touhou period, but I have no such desires. Just loving her is enough for me. I don't need to prove it to anyone.

Their boards don't hit many pages because in Futaba threads are deleted by date no matter what page they are in, in contrast to 4chan which waits indefinitely until the thread hits the last page.

If nobody made threads in a Futaba board for a few weeks eventually every thread would get deleted automatically.

>Primary Touhou fan: One who became interested in Touhou due to it's games. A longtime fan of shmup/arcade/retro-esque games, this person likes Touhou for it's actual gameplay, music and/or art/style. Probably has an interest in secondary works, but most likely enjoys the main games and ZUN's works more so.

>Secondary Touhou fan: One who became interested in Touhou due to some offshoot (dojin works, IOSYS, fanart, 4chan...). May or may not have an interest in its main genre and more likely have not really played the games; if they did play, it's only to see what the game is like and doesn't get into it (i.e. 1CCing normal or completing extra). However, probably enjoys the side games (IaMP and SWR) and may or may not enjoy the fanworks. This is also the typical "Touhoufag."

I don't see what you're suggesting.
There are plenty of people who got into Touhou because it's a fun shmup and then got into the fan works and such. Likewise there are plenty of people who found the videos and artwork first, then got into the shmups because of those. Obviously this is more common.
Distinguishing between the two is useful.

The only thing I'd disagree with is that those descriptions imply it's how you "found" Touhou that matters, not how you are now. They'd be more valid if they described each type of fan in the present tense.

Also, it's implying that every secondary is a shitty player and every primary is a shmup enthusiast. It's like some angry child got really frustrated with other people enjoying the same things and decided to separate the fans into a ``god tier, true fan'' group and a ``shit tier, touhoufag'' group. It's surprising that people actually take it seriously, but then again, you probably the kind to take the term ``weeaboo'' seriously, as well.

It's not saying you *can't*, it's suggesting that's just an inherent part about being a secondary. Like it touched upon people who "just tried" the games quite nicely. Anything after that is a grey area and one that's pointless to get into, otherwise we'll have all sort of floatingpointiaries or something.
It may seem stereotyped but these people do exist. Check DeviantART or any IOSYS video on YouTube. Or even just /a/.

Why do people hate this phrase so much? Yeah, obviously those are the only two possibilities. But it's useful to state that in a given context. Here it's saying that:
* Secondaries may have an interest in the main genre.
* Secondaries may not have an interest in the main genre.
It makes it clear that both possibilities exist within the secondary domain.

But it more or less is.

I know these people exists, but the reason the term "secondary" is a problem that bothers many is because of the extremely generalizing implications that go along with it.

>> No.8472215

You people seem to be forgetting that primaries and secondaries are two stereotyped extremes. You get your hardcore shmup fans who really enjoy Touhou and they're obviously primaries. You also get DeviantARTists spamming memes on IOSYS videos. Those are clearly secondaries.
Not everyone falls neatly into one of two categories. If you have to question whether someone is a primary or secondary then they're neither, so don't try to qualify them as such.

Some primaries may or may not be good at the games.

Some primaries may or may not even know the names of the characters nor music.
Some primaries may or may not have ever played any of the spinoff games.
I wonder why none of that went into the description of a ``primary.'' Instead, we get that they are good at shmups, like the games, better players, etc.

>>8472160
>The only thing I'd disagree with is that those descriptions imply it's how you "found" Touhou that matters, not how you are now.
But that is the entire basis on which the term originated. You can not disagree with the roots. You can disagree with everything else, but even if you play the games a lot and still got into Touhou from the music, you're a secondary. You can not have a single quality of a secondary, but if you got into Touhou from doujin work, you're a secondary. That is where all validity of the term secondary is broken, and why the poster above came to the conclusion that it's troll terminology.

Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media. I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.
