Keep in mind this thread happened because of mcdonalds
We all know the Touhou fanbase is big, and it has it's good and bad things...
However, let me ask you, what do you think are the best or the worst aspects of the fandom?
Discuss.

What I like: How welcoming some communities can be, how the lore is delved into with such depth and opening up plenty of amazing discussions, the music remixes/arrangements/orchestrations that various fans create of ZUN's amazing fan art, seeing world record runs and being blown away, and the quality fan art, just to name a few.
What I dislike: How cruel some people can be to players not as good as them ("LOL EASY MODO? YOU SUCK" for example), the way that the fandom interprets some characters (holy shit), the really rabid fans that attack other series, etc.
I feel a lot of good discussions will happen here.

Why McDonalds? >__>
Like: The fanart and the fangames, etc.
Dislike: The more fanatical people who act holier than thou just because they spent an entire year memorizing everything to beat every game on Lunatic.

Mcdonalds is to blame for everything confirmed.
Like: music, how the fandom gives nice fanfic ideas at times, how they translate all the good fangames.
Dislike: 99% of the other stuff i didn't mention

Since I fortunately haven't faced any fandom related dramas or anything of the sort, I have nothing to point out except the illogical hatred some people seem to have for this or that character. Hating a character is ok, as long as you have a reason for that and not just because you don't like their design or whatever.
This was the most welcoming of the fandoms I've joined, I love the music fans make, the fangames, fananimes, fics, doujinshi, you name it. I think there isn't a fandom quite like this one in terms of content creation.

Like:
- Unparalleled amounts of quality fan material
- Canon is actually pretty well-established with official side material
Dislike:
- Elitist as fuck "primary" communities on both Japanese and Western fronts (though personally it motivates me to get better, I can see how it can be toxic)
- All the drama whenever something remotely nice happens, etc etc basically any other large fandom this has been repeated forever
- The Western doujin scene hasn't exactly developed much in terms of ease of distribution and discovery (have you ever seen ANY Western Touhou arranges? personally I've only seen like 2 or 3)
- Not everything will be translated in your lifetime so you might as well learn Japanese give up

Like:
The sheer amount of fan material.
Lore speculation.
Dislike:
How people take things (whether it be a decrease in touhou fan material production or if an idiot game developer does something idiotic) a little too seriously.
A lot of untranslated material.
People lying about achievements.
People making unbelievably OOC/lore-breaking fan material.

You tend to crack down on anything even slightly resembling a necropost. That's not a necropost. Stop derailing and don't make unneeded posts. She knows I'm anti-Hentai tho. Edit: lolwut? That wasn't a necro, as far as I saw. This too. |

Judging by what I've seen judged as Necro in the past, 3 weeks definitely cuts it. Not in my opinion, but from what I've seen get yelled at. Deleting other posts, though. W/e. This was not even off page 1. Aka the other necro requirement. |
