It's difficult to hate, but his shit only attracts more gaiafags into the fold, look at his fanbase.

Touhou doesn't need prominent anything. e-penis ruins everything. Imagine /jp/ with bullshit drama threads about "prominent" anything. This is why I fucking hate tripfags too. It's always about the e-penis and drama.

Touhou doesn't need to be centralized around certain people, that's not the Touhou I like and enjoy.

Obviously the trick is to not play them often, and only play them when you have nothing better to do. Play the Touhou games whenever you have that urge to play a shitty Flash browser game or something.

Who cares what the fanbase is like. Enjoy Touhou for your own reasons, and if you see faggotry just ignore it.

The point was never whether Mauller was a good artist or not. It was shit when he came up with his ideas, it was shit when he drew it, and it was shit when he scanned it. He has the talent of a retarded five-year-old and you need to be drunk to get a laugh out of it. However, back when he was making shit, it was some of the only Western touhou fanwork around. It was garbage, but he was one of us. There was a warm, fuzzy feeling in knowing there was a western fan who liked it as much as you, liked it enough to draw it. Now, every derp and his brother shits out fanfiction and aborted visual novels. Even Mauller doesn't seem like he wants to be associated with them, which is pretty sad. They aren't any better than Mauller's stuff, but they're everywhere. If you lived in a gated community and Mauller was the lovable leper, now your town is overrun with lepers spraypainting nines everywhere as if it was the funniest thing they've ever seen. Is it so bad to want the disease-ridden scum to leave your little enclave?

I don't really blame Walfas for it, sooner or later it would've happened, no matter who did it. Do I still like Touhou? Yes, I love it, and I wouldn't leave it for anything. However, it's turning into the next Bleach or Naruto, but unlike them Touhou was actually GOOD at one point. Now it's painful to watch, and there's not much to do besides yell at the retarded fanfic writers when they come around.

Good fanfiction is rare and makes me happy.

I wish there was a way to read it without bothering to even sample the trash.

You are the cancer that's trying to kill touhou but fails

Actually, you're just another butthurt faggot with a strange sense of self entitlement. The internet is full of you

The growing western community, no matter what your opinion towards them is, doesn't mean shit to the Touhou machine and it never will be.

It's popular now so it's cool to hate it

maybe if artists weren't namefagging it up when they contribute shit we wouldnt have this problem

I made the first edit of those honk honk comics. I was the one to edit 3 frames of chen looking over the check and then 1 frame of honk honk. That was the first edit and then we have namefags taking credit trying to make their e-penises big.

I post anonymously, the way all artists should. Its about a community where everyone and anyone makes something for the good of all, not some HO HO I WANT TO BE POPULAR SHIT

Oh wow there. You made a shoop, so you're an ARTIST

Not that I disagree with your point, but wow. 3 seconds in mspaint and it's a work of art.
Everything I've ever contributed, I've done anonymously. Even stuff that really did take awhile.
