What's the difference between a primary fan and a secondary fan? Can a secondary become a primary with enough studying of the canon? I see those terms thrown around a lot here but I don't really know what they mean.

>> No.5863701

Primary fans play the games. Secondary fans like the pictures.

They don't mean anything, it's just /jp/ being autistic as usual. Those terms were made up by that old tripfag Meru.

>> No.5863708

No difference.

You become a primary once you obsess about gameplay.

The only difference between a primary fan and a secondary fan is whether they are in it for the games or the music/art/characters/ect. Its a fucktarded distinction because there is a significant overlap between the two. Of course, there are some people who say you are only a primary if you only play the games, on lunatic, and ignore all fanworks. These people are faggots.

Primaries: pretentious aspie NEETs who think they're superior beings for playing the games first and focusing on them.

Secondaries: well-adjusted intelligent productive members of society who recognise the games as low-tier shmups, but enjoy the vast amount of fan-created content and characterisation.

Primaries: Like Touhou for the games
Secondaries: Like Touhou for the fanfics

Newsflash: those words don't have any kind of a fucking definite meaning. The only information content they convey is that "primary" fans are in some vague fashion more "true" fans and "secondary" fans are somehow "bad". But even the fuckos who actually use those words can't come into an agreement about what the fuck they actually mean.

I suggest you just read both of those words as "I am an idiot, please ignore everything I say" and move on.

That's what you get for expecting autistic people not to take you seriously.

I heard one of /jp/'s anons committed suicide because a roleplayer rejected his waifu request.

>> No.5863806

if you only like Touhou for the games you're doing it wrong and should probably go play something better instead

The games are great if you're on really cool drugs, though.

Shit, dude, ZUN coded it while shitting-his-pants-drunk. Playing the games sober is full retard. You have to slam down a six pack before you can even click the icon, and during each stage you've gotta drink. Or toke. Or eat more pills.

You caused this whole Primary/Secondary farce? And I used to think you were somewhat amusing at times. Even if your parody did spawn a load of shitty parodies which helped lead to the whole roleplaying/fanfiction shitstorm.
