Is Touhou still popular? Or... is it dead.

If it's dead now, it's partly because the top images
Google turns up show the suckiest, frilliest facet of the fandom.
Potential fans were turned off by it and thought, "WTF is this gay shit?"

Why couldn't image searches reveal the cool side of Touhou to newbies
instead of the faggy, frilly fairy side?

Peter Payne used to post Touhou every day. Now he's posting Kancolle every day and Touhou like once a week.
