What is Touhou and why is it popular?

The Touhou Project (東方Project Tōhō Purojekuto?, lit. Eastern Project), also known as Toho Project or Project Shrine Maiden, is a Japanese dōjin game series focused on bullet hell shooters made by the one-man developer Team Shanghai Alice, whose sole member, known as ZUN, is responsible for all the graphics, music, and programming for the most part.[1] The series was inducted into the Guinness World Records in October 2010 for being the "most prolific fan-made shooter series".[2][3] The Touhou Project began in 1995 when Highly Responsive to Prayers was first developed by the group Amusement Makers for the Japanese NEC PC-9801 series of computers; the game was later released in November 1996. The next four Touhou games released between August 1997 and December 1998 also were released on the NEC PC-9801. The Touhou Project was inactive for the next three and half years until the first Microsoft Windows Touhou game, The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, was released in August 2002 solely by ZUN after he split from Amusement Makers and started Team Shanghai Alice. The Touhou Project became a media franchise spanning a steadily increasing number of official games, in addition to commercial fan books, music, light novels, and manga.

Baller music
Silly hats
Girl everything
Obsessive gameplay

And then people started making fan shit and that fan shit brought on more fan shit and it kept going and going until ZUN got married and the games started sucking and a game with more girls but sexualized this time came out and killed the Touhou.
