I want to have fun conversations with other people about my favorite Touhou like everyone else but no one likes her. What do I do? ;_;

>> No.8852178

Have better taste

>> No.8852187

Even flan has a thread every day on jp; no matter how shitty is your taste, we always have space for another touhou thread. Unless it's tokiko.

What makes that Touhou singled out as the worst? Newfag from /a/ here. I don't know a lot about /jp/

But people actually like flan. There's just a lot of hate towards her as well.

I know that feel OP, my favourite Touhou is discussed on /jp/ but in a derogatory manner.

Popularity. The popularity of a Touhou has a direct correlation with the amount of "Worst Touhou" comments she gets on /jp/.

/jp/ - hipster culture

Utsuho is insanely popular, where is she called worst?

>> No.8852338

>>8852321

I can actually recall quite a few instances where she was. I pay close attention to these things to keep my autism in check. All the popular Touhou's on /jp/ have been called the worst, Okuu is no exception.

>> No.8852339

>her

There are bound to be some people that like your favorite Touhou even if only as another magical hole into which they can dream about sticking their dick.

Now, if your favorite Touhou was YuugenMagan or the flower tank or something...

>>8852321
She also has the most retarded fanbase here on /jp/.

>> No.8852352

Nah Im pretty sure its because /jp/ as a whole is a terrible part of the touhou fandom.

I've literally never had a fun conversation about my favourite Touhou and everyone likes her or is at least familiar with her to the point of boredom.

I'm yet to see a Yumemi thread these days ;_;

But she is one of the few characters on /jp/ that people actually frequently share new material of her. If anything her fanbase is productive.

I'm acutally very glad that my favorite touhou gets little attention from /jp/

Well, my favourite touhou is pretty popular but there's a faggot who is dedicated to trying to ruin every thread about her. Same for other touhous.

She doesn't even have a canon name.

Be careful. I got into a big argument once with some idiot who thought Koakuma was a canon name because ZUN used it once while talking to fans.

>> No.8853418

>>8853395

>ZUN used it

The creator of the character used it. How is that not canon? I don't want an argument, I'm just curious.

>> No.8853434

>>8853395
That makes it canon. In fact a lot of people made a big deal out of it *because* a fan name became canon.
Something doesn't have to explicitly appear in the stories to be canon, if that's what you're thinking. If George Lucas says something is or isn't canon, then that's how it is (I recently discovered Lucasfilm and fans have a whole system for different "levels" of canon, which is funny to me).

>> No.8853452

>>8853434
Lucas is an idiot though, it's not a fair comparison. According to him, magic is strictly black and white, every particle in the universe contains "magic particles" and there are still species immune to this magic, he makes several retcons and contradictions, he refuses to acknowledge one of the best parts of Star Wars as even existing, et cetera.

True, plus he gets his *own* things wrong. e.g. he calls Gungans "Goongas" and in one of the DVD commentaries he called the Wampa the "snow yeti beast" or something stupid.

Makes me wonder how involved he even was in 'his' creation.

>> No.8853465

>>8853463
The worst move he made was filling up with yes-men. Without people to tell him why shit is fucktarded he gets too carried away. He could do shit, but it honestly seems like he needs, or need, people to supervise him working on his own creation.

>> No.8853472

>>8853462
Well my point is that if the official source calls it something, then it is so. If ZUN put out an art book that featured Koakuma named as such, you would consider it canon. Even if the art book was strictly "meta" and didn't contain any in-universe stories. So why isn't ZUN calling her "Koakuma" in an interview good enough to make it canon? In I think the same interview, he revealed some facts about her and her race. Are those not canon?

Touhou has always been a setting where the meta in-universe stuff collides, and I've always liked that. It's not corny if a character breaks the fourth wall or acts out of character or whatever, because the overall mythos is so flexible. If ZUN says Reimu likes fudge, then Reimu likes fudge, and dozens of doujins to follow will feature fudge-eating hijinks.

>> No.8853489

>>8853465
Exactly. I think Han Solo was originally going to be a lizard man, and lightsabers were going to be standard weapons, and all kinds of crazy things. If it wasn't for other people affecting the creative process--whether through budget issues, production problems or just outright criticism--Star Wars would have been a mess. God knows what would have happened if 1970s George Lucas had the technology and creative control he has today.

But again, back to Touhou. I think ZUN has handled all this really well. He hasn't bowed to fan pressure and that has made the series very likeable. I doubt there's going to be Touhou 17 - Lewdness of Naked Onsen Orgy any time soon. But at the same time he's making agreeable choices and letting fans do whatever they want and interpret his characters however they wish. I think that's rare now, and it's worked out great.
