Actual conversation with a normal, more or less:
>It's a danmaku, a Japanese vertical shooter
>What?
>Like one of those old arcade games
>Like Contra and stuff?
>Yeah, like that
>Oh shit dude, I love those games. I play (random 360 game) like that
I download Ten Desires for him
>Here, check this out
>The Touhou universe also has a huge fan base that creates tons of content, music, doujins, etc

You don't have to speak to them like they're fucking children. 0.2 seconds later they'll ask you "what does doujinshi mean?" at which point you can tell them. IF they still don't understand they're a goddamn retard. IF they say "lol, why didn't you just say INUDEE" they're a huge faggot just like you, and the two of you should get along wonderfully.

To the normal mind, I have come to understand such things are considered "gay" or possibility "immature"

Saying it was an acquired taste was a subtle way to save face instead of saying "I like cute girls doing cute things" which in normal speak would translate to "I am a faggot and a virgin please don't social with me"

Excellent Japanese-style shoot 'em up with very interesting visual elements and music. Difficulty can go up to 11 too if you are into that. Highly recommended.

It's up to them to read "Japanese-style" as "absolutely weird" or "very different and creative"

This is a real conversation with some faggots the first day at college, whom I didn't want to speak again with. I sat in front of my computer and loaded UFO from my USB flash drive. Began playing in lunatic. Some of the social animals came and asked what were I doing. I told them I was playing shoot'em ups. Next moment I got to Kogasa, and a guy said "that's a weird sprite". Next second I told them that it was of japanese origin and that I love anime, manga and any form of japanese media, and that I was interested in touhou because it only had female characters and half of them were little girls. They got all awkward and left as quickly as possible. I've been excluded from social relations since then, situation which I'm thankful of.

besides, when talking about the touhou fanbase he wasn't talking about you more then he would have been talking about you when talking about weeaboos. sure, you can apply 'touhou fanbase' to us, but not before you remove the 'base' and keep the 'fan'.
