I am told there was some writer in the 90's who wrote about otaku culture and predicted that some phenomenon like Touhou would emerge.

Does /jp/ know the name of this writer and/or where to find this prophetic piece of writing?

Wow. That's pretty damn obscure OP. I don't think even 2ch knows about it.

Mainly because most otakus from the 90s have moved on.

So your idea is flawed. Something else makes this popular. Not just because it is "doujin soft".

It's not favour, it's dedication. If fanbase isn't dedicated enough it will just disappear when the next shiny thing will arrive. And it does. This keeps happening constantly, only few otaku things have really survived the initial event.

The fact that its ongoing. It's run longer than Rozen Maiden and the other series. That's all. When he stops making games, it'll fade away. For now, it just keeps getting fresh materials to use coupled with lax copyright.
