I have a question for /jp/:

Would you still like Touhou if all the characters were male?

I believe liking something regardless of one's sexuality is a good test of a true fan.

>> No.9446120

Fuck no

>> No.9446119

Not as much, since it wouldn't be as cute.

>> No.9446124

No. I don't give a shit about games. I did play them though.

>> No.9446123 [DELETED] 

No. I wouldn't like it if they were space ships, either.

Touhou is good (and popular) because little girls are great. It's the heart and soul of the series. You take that away, and it's a well-made but charmless STG.

>> No.9446126

It'd be like dragonball Z, so probably yeah.

If they were girly males then it would be exactly the same as regular touhou, and I would like it for the same super sexual things.

>> No.9446128

I believe that's a worthless test.

>> No.9446134

I like Touhou because it's humanoids and not generic planes/spaceships.

Probably, it would still be a cool concept.
Although I would miss all the lewd art.

What a dumb question, these games are good regardless of the character sex.

I always play with the male in espgaluda too.

it definitely wouldn't be as popular without the little girls

Lately I think my mind has become so feminised that I'm seeing things from a female point of view and am accordingly no longer able to enjoy things that revolve around cute girls. I can't identify with mainstream male otaku culture or enjoy anime/VNs/LNs much anymore because of this; I just can't help but make comparisons to how it'd seem if it were girls watching things filled with 2D males.

I can only enjoy things which are completely devoid of romantic or sexual wish fulfilment now, so it feels like my connection with otaku culture is hanging by a thread.

Why would the female point of view be much different from the male one?
Many females like cute girls too.
You are pretty much having the view that most people would expect from a normal girl

This, do you honestly think only males watched, let's say, K-ON?

>> No.9446290

Only if they're all cute little boys.

The issue about Touhou having cute males only would be that maybe it wouldn't make any success, at the point of none of us knowing about the games.

I wasn't interested in 2D (or 3D) girls (or guys) so much in the first place, so I find it hard to identify with this aspect of otaku culture. It seems like quite a very big part (compared to video gaming culture for instance), and I attribute it to why I don't seem to really enjoy the things that /a/ and /jp/ like as much. I don't really find "cute girls" very cute so a lot of these things seem quite empty to me. I find shows like Shirokuma Cafe cute though.

I guess I just have to stick to completely gender/sexuality neutral things that I have no trouble enjoying.

>> No.9451878

I would like the games just as much but I'd be lying if I said the beauty of its cast didn't make a huge impact on my overall appreciation of the franchise.

Games: No change. 0% interest decrease.

Manga: Slightly less, mostly because a lot of it kinda sucks and the pretty girls make it a less bitter pill. 15% interest decrease.

Doujins: Not gay, so that would take a huge chunk of the raw images I have seen. However none of that is canon so it offsets depreciation a bit. 15% decrease.

Music: Depends. I imagine there would be more male vocal arranges and I marginally enjoy women's voices more, but the best shit is instrumental so not a huge change. 5% interest decrease

General goods collection and consumption. I'm not even gonna front. I would have way less shit. That said, Rinnosuke figure by Phat Company WHEN? 10% drop.

Total loss of interest: 45% less

That's quite a bit. I mean, I'm sure I would still own all the games and have played them through but beyond that it's tough to say.

I think that way of thinking is not as good of a test as you thought.
If someones thinks of still liking Touhou as much as before then, it actually, at least in my opinion, wouldn't be a nice statement for a fan to do. Because Touhou can only be Touhou the way it is. Such a big change in the whole concept of the character cast would be terrifying - Gensokyo's charme is mainly coming from the variety of individual, well thought up characters. A few more male characters wouldn't be such a bad thing, indeed, but the already existing characters being male? I don't even think that would work.

The games probably wouldn't change for the worse in terms of gaming, but the storytelling had to undergo a complete transformation. Nobody would really be interested in a conversation of males talking like women.
