Will touhou ever be as big in America as it is in Japan?

>> No.9391968

what's the difference between touhou and mlp

>> No.9391979

No, because the values we hold here as desirable in individuals differ than those that Japanese value.

I don't think so. MLP and Homestuck are already preferred by a lot of people. Quite a few franchises are also as popular as Touhou already. I doubt it will happen. Not only that, the western fandom seems to be more about consumership than anything, it also doesn't have the infrastructure nor the effort required to make it grow.

I doubt it, unless the situation gets flipped on its head.

>> No.9392014

Hopefully not, MLP is proof that anything that has a big enough following because instant irredeemable shit.

With touhou the games are the official works while the fan works are the animations.

With MLP the animations are the official works while the games are the fan works. That, and 90% of the fangames have never been released.

But... We like touhou even though it's Japanese, and they like MLP even though it's American. Did I do something wrong?

People who make the argument that MLP fandom is like Touhou fandom are disgusting and delusional. Touhou at least tries to associate itself with myth and legend, while MLP is a show specifically made for 8 year old girls.

You're either autistic or a ponyfag.

Amen to that, horsefuckers are always try to argue other fandoms are as bad as them but the reality is that they are the most hated and most autistic fanbase in the galaxy. Even sonicfags are treated with more respect.

They aren't the same thing?

or they equate their teletubby tier show to anime in general.

Apparently blood-c, berserk and samurai x were aimed at little girls too.

You don't have a counterpoint, I see. The prospect of your fandom being on the same tier as autistic furry fodder is frightening, no?

Don't worry. You're actually lower. Horsefuckers have never managed to ruin an entire board yet like Touhou has with /jp/.

Last time I'm going to bother responding to an obvious troll. I called you autistic because anyone who isn't can list tons of counterpoints, they just don't because they're blatant as fuck.

You can make retarded generalizations all you'd like, but my point remains salient. Everything inane and disappointing about this board is rooted in the Touhou cartel's iron grip on posting. /jp/ began with the promise of being a Western futaba of sorts, or a /vip/ that actually got posts. Touhou intervened after the first few days and ensured that this dream never come to fruition. Post another /c/ imagedump, you boardwrecker.
