Honest thoughts: Is Touhou dying? Or has it simply maintained a consistent level of popularity throughout the years?

My judgement is that it's been consistent and maybe has overall increased since ~2014.

>> No.21034452

Touhou will die when ZUN stops making content. So 10-20 years.

>> No.21034645

i don't think touhou is dying, it's a bit too rooted in the culture to ever truly die.

maybe like >>21034452 said, when ZUN stops making content, but that's damn near the only condition.

Yes, Touhou is dying. To newfags it's not apparent but they never saw how fucking massive was Touhou in 2008-2011, they have no frame of reference. It doesn't helps that the newest characters are lame and low energy.

It must slowly die in order to not become ass cancer like other games who get their stigma when you mention them (i.e. Undiestale, etc).
However, thanks to the boorus, we will have a good amount of 2hu porn for the rest of our lives once it stops being popular and becomes part of videogame history.

I'll always be a fan of Touhou because I'm not a hopeless trend slave who drops interests solely because they're no longer relevant to normalfag retards. Everyone in this thread is a faggot.

2hu will die in the west if and when it enters the mainstream of gamer / nerd culture (eg. Reimnu in smash). It will be colonised by hand wringing cultural critics and degenerate deviantart fetish shit and abandoned by almost anyone who ever actually played the games.

lol do you realize you're exactly that? ONLY the Japanese can be true Touhou fans.

>> No.21039746

No. It shrank a bit though after DDC, the shittiest in series.
But ZUN better release a new 2hu, and a good one at that.

>> No.21040875

It would be long dead by now without the EoSD-tier memehus in LoLK (and the release of Undertale soon after).
