Yachie is the second highest from WBaWC in the exit poll, which might be carried to the final result because she has been getting a considerable attention for some reason.
The question is why. I thought Mayumi, Kutaka and Urumi are the ones who tick most of the cute/lewd trope boxes, and Saki is pretty gimmicky. What is Yachie's appeal?

I care, and your post motivated me to put in at least a little bit of effort on pic related. It's fun to do things like this once in a while. I wish I could actually draw myself.

Favorite song: Doll Judgement (Alice's PCB theme), and most of the "classics" and Idolatrize World and Clownpiece's theme.
Favorite games: SA, but I don't like to play the same game over and over for much more than a month at a time, so it's not a strong preference.

>WHY *your favorite 2hu*
Liking one 2hu or another is just personal preference. When a 2hu takes first place in a massive poll, it becomes statistics, and there has to be some objective reason behind it. In Reimu's case it's obvious (MC status, visibility), in Koishi's it's not.

>> No.24158828

>>24158592
Those same characteristics that shape someone's personal preference just happen to resonate with multiple people. I know the reasons for my tastes and they seem "obvious" to me, but chances are a lot of other people won't think this way.

>>24159029
If you want "objective" causes for her key changes in popularity, she jumped from 14th to 3rd place thanks to her inclusion in HM. This was acknowledged by ZUN and Tasofro too, by the way. https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Strange_Creators_of_Outer_World/Iruka_Unabara_x_ZUN_interview
She had momentum and gained a rock remix and a flashy (especially in comparison to some others: MiB Mamizou was cool per se, but Turbo Granny Byakuren stole all the spotlight she could have got) urban legend in ULiL: this gave her the first place in the next poll.

Also, to some extent, it's just a fun event for the community, and it doesn't really matter where a character places. We'll still get Yuugi in 17.5, and Sumireko here and there, and Mamizou everywhere. Just the way I like it.

People just have increasingly moved on to other things over time, or at least people on /jp/ have. Not much to say about that, change is the only constant, and even something like touhou is bound to get stale for most people after a good 20-10 years.

>>24149966
/jp/ isn't dying, but the userbase is changing over time in a way which alienates older posters. Like, if you don't like gacha or idol groups or vtubers, the volume of people who do follow those kinds of things probably do not share the same sense of decline on the board, because they're invested in things which are currently hyped and growing.

I doubt the exit polls are rigged at least, considering they're based on character mentions with the #toho_vote16 hashtag on twitter. It would be too obvious if someone made multiple accounts/posts to vote on their favorite, and fans would quickly call people out on it.

Vtubers and idols can be indie, but not really doujin. That being said, you can have doujin works and communities based on any of these things, it just isn't the source itself that is doujin. Doujin culture has nothing to do with being niche, strictly, but people create niches within it.

>some changes that happened on this board were more forced than natural
Most of those are As someone who isn't a particular a fan of 3D idol acts and vtubers, it is also the case that moderation possesses a pretty consistent bias against them having as many threads as they please, which leads to a handful of fast generals, some of which are nearly the fastest on the site.
This is precisely why literally one person can go through all the 2hu threads and bump them with an inane, hard-to-filter comment to push down a thread for whatever reason. Because the thread/post ratio is the most lopsided on the entire site.
>and many old posters were kind of "forced" to leave
Going to need an explanation on that one. If you mean they got crowded out, had their topics die out, or lost interest due to change, that's not a very passive and natural process that is completely unremarkable, especially on online communities.

>>24210212
>but I don't believe >"gacha or idol groups or vtubers" is "doujin culture"
I agree. I also don't see why that would be of any great significance to people who come here for "diverse niche Japanese interests" that fall outside of doujin culture, so any gatekeeping through that argument would fall on deaf ears. You would actually need to convince them that 2hu/TM/RPGMaker/Denpa/etc. is more enjoyable for them personally than whatever they are currently into.
>or natural
From my perspective, much of the "forced" posting on /jp/ has very little to do with actually being unnatural, and much more individuals being inane, pushing girls/content they are personally deeply invested in, or forcing content off the board they don't like. I wouldn't exactly call Flanfly an organic topic, even if I like it, and people making generals for the sake of them probably legitimately want to obsess over the topic at hand with others.

>> No.24218283

>>24217815
Afaik around 2011 or so many original /jp/ posters were banned en masse and went on to make their own spin-off sites. There are plenty of them though most of them are dead by now, but that should give the gist of discrepancy between users and moderators and how much the latter influence the board than the former. IMO the situation now isn't much different.

You don't like her because she's popular (which is basically secondary-tier, as you base your opinions on something that isn't ZUN's official universe), you're not fooling anyone with whatever excuse you're going to come up with.
>>24224002
The Works section is always the hardest one for me. You only have five choices and the material is too heterogeneous, which makes the whole thing apples and oranges. The print works (and the CDs) often have meatier stories, but the games have a really high replay value, so the way I'm going to experience them throughout time is different as well.
Splitting the section in these three categories would be a sensible option, but it's never happened, so it's never going to happen.

There's like 6 other swordsmen in the series, 2 of which came before Youmu. To be fair they're from PC98 era but my point still stands.

And now with her getting a new playable appearance she just got another giant boost.
Just like Koishi Youmu can be safely said to be one of Touhou's most popular characters right now. Though considering she won't be playable in the main games forever to give her that extra boost i doubt she'll get the number one spot anytime soon.

Look at past poll results. Reimu beat Marisa by 400 in 2019, 300 in 2018, and 300 in 2017. Reimu beat Marisa by 1100 in 2016, but that's because in 2015 Koishi got her KKHTA induced first place (without getting the most 1st place votes, interestingly) and people voted Reimu hard to make sure it didn't happen again. I don't think it's too hard to believe Youmu's pokemon appearance could boost her to 300 more 1st place votes than Reimu, especially since she got 1000 more votes than Reimu overall.

I see a lot of Japanese people on Twitter mentioning/complaining about secondaries voting characters just because of Lost Word. Particularly Youmu and Kasen. Kasen got one of her highest jumps in recent memory in this poll. That didn't happen at all the year where oni Kasen was revealed, she even got beat by Okina that time. They're saying that dumb kids and gacha players are voting solely based on secondary works.

Actually, there were two notable upticks in fanart around the time WBaWC was announced last year as well as in May this year because of her recent manga appearances.
Keep in mind that the previous poll was held in January long before GoU and WBaWC.

>I don't think she's even trending all that much on twitter either.
Touhou trending on twitter doesn't happen every day and she's been trending in the top 10 for hours by now. Also keep in mind that twitter doesn't seem to let her name alone trend, which is why 妖夢1位, 妖夢ちゃん and 妖夢一位 are trending independently, all very specific combinations.

For a stage 6 theme, it comes off as very reserved, and the buildup rather boring. The inclusion of the "Theme of Eastern Story"/"Silk Road Alice" into the theme was also offputting to me.

Pure Furies was the last great stage 6 boss theme for me.

Animal Realm is a part of Hell, following Buddhism hell.

I liked pure furies more too, but I can see why people liked idolatrize world.

It's the realm where souls are condemned but still separate from actual hell, I think. I mean human realm, demigod realm and even heaven are also part of 6 Buddhist realms in the same standing since you still need to maintain/gather karma and basically just different kind of trial. Nirvana is the only state that will free you from the cycle and the only "heaven" in that sense.

Kasen couldn't even get a popularity boost from shocking the world and revealing her true oni form. I sincerely doubt that one panel of shit talk in a series where everyone talks shit constantly changed a single vote.

It's more exhilarating I feel, fairly non-aggressive and even a bit benevolent. I think lots of arranges use that kind of tone as well , it also affects her fan interpretation somewhat

Kasen did get a boost though, +14 spots, the biggest gain this year.

I'm all for this, but if ZUN can tie the stage 1-3 bosses into the story in an interesting way, then he should do it.

Stage 3 characters actually has decent popularity and they hang around 30-50 a lot, and then there's Alice and Meiling.
Doremy should've been up there too. Her consecutive massive drop is too unreal.

Larva has the best design and theme of all stage 1 bosses in my opinion.

>> No.24235155

>>24232571
Stage 1-2 bosses are bound to be unpopular by design because ZUN make them solely as fodder without much background or involvement in the plot. They serve as introduction to the background setting of the game and I doubt ZUN would change that formula.
