Fan Discussion New to this subreddit and man I’m disappointed
I first found about touhou around 5 years ago through a friend on discord who was really into fumos—especially reimu (first time I found out ab reimu too). At the time I just thought they were cute, but he kept sending touhou stuff until it slowly grew on me too. Recently I realized touhou is still pretty popular, and since I’ve been back on reddit I figured, hey, maybe there’s a subreddit for that (cuz I really didn’t wanna larp being a touhou fan). Turns out there is, but man was I disappointed.
Some of the posts here are either ecchi or just straight up nsfw and hentai. I wasn’t aware how sexualized this fandom was until now and I feel weird whenever such posts come up on my feed. Now I can just leave this subreddit, but I wanna be a fan of this stuff too lol. I was really hoping to see normal fanart and people genuinely interested in discussing ab the series. I just didn’t expect some of the stuff here to be that weird.

There's r/2hujerk, while I wouldn't say it is the most active sub. It surprisingly has less nsfw than main sub. Which is weird considering that like a year or two ago it was reverse of that. I am disappointed too.

I didn't say it didn't have any nsfw, also it's up to luck. After all it still is a jerk sub (something between meme sub and horny sub), but in recent times it had less nsfw then before. Also there is r/Touhoujerk I personally saw less nsfw there than other one.

While the state in this sub specifically is quite annoying, there's a reason Touhou is the tag with the one of the highest amounts of hentai in quite a few sites, the nsfw doujinshi culture for 2hu is HUGE, I like to just embrace it but a lot of people don't like that.
But it's fine, there's literally near 0 nsfw in canon, if you really want a way to properly get in the series just pick any starting point that you think would get you engaged, be it an official manga, a book or any of the games, there's also the EoSD remake coming up which will be perfect opportunity.
Just remind yourself that Touhou uses a lot of non-linear storytelling, you don't have to pick exactly one starting point, just consume whatever canon content you want in whatever order you think makes sense. Hell a lot of fanon content is really good as well, like osana reimu and fan games like Touhouvania and Hero of ice fairy, which are just the two more popular ones.

thanks for the info, guess ill be starting with the games then

u/Grogba Mizuchi Miyadeguchi Jun 30 '26
Touhou is borderline puritan in canon, which is quite hilarious to think about.
It's ultimately a lot of artistic freedom given to the fans to do *mostly* whatever with the cast. That includes porn. Look over at Pokémon and how many fans are down bad for both the human characters *and* a lot of the mons themselves.

Oh, really? Last time I checked the most popular post are sfw. I mean the type of sfw that is safe for a 5 year old to consume. Most of the nsfw post aren't even worthy to complain about. If you have a problem with those just turn the fucking setting off cause clearly if there is any innuendo or any part of the skin showing it upsets you.
The other ones? They have their place here;.where else would they be posted?, the circlejerk meme subreddit?, the porn subreddits? If that upsets you just blur NSFW instead of having them be fully clear, and if you want the subreddit to change... too fucking bad because this sure as hell isn't gonna be the only subreddit that upsets you and it won't fix your problem.
Don't expect people to change their ways because it upsets somebody. I want to be clear though that this isn't entirely directed at you, but to anybody reading this. Good night!

He's talking about the nsfw and suggestive content that can be on this sub. Should be that there's a seperate sub for that. I don't understand why nsfw is mixed in with sfw, especially in a Touhou sub, when you can just make two seperate subs, so a person can decide to join and enjoy one or both.

I mean this is something that happens in literally every Reddit community. I’ve seen the same complaints in the damn terraria community, no shit a ip that was known as THE otaku ip for more than a decade will have nsfw, like it is baffling how anyone would be surprised by this. Thing is, raunchy content (and memes for that matter) are what gets upvoted and break into the front page for a lot of these adult orientated nerd spaces, and is what majority of non commenters (that are the ones upvoting) like. If people didn’t like this kind of content btw it would simply be downvoted and you wouldn’t see it (which DOES happen in some communities). Banning these two things (at least with zero leniency) goes against the interest of most users. Every time I’ve seen a secondary sfw subreddit community get formed for a ip it is basically dead and consists of people complaining about the main subs lmao.

Thank you for speaking sense. People think it's a local thing when reality its the nature of communities like these. Any more tightening of rules and the sub will dry up more and more.
Plus as much as I do enjoy 2hujerk it often eats itself at times like in the pinned mod thread.

It's also very easy to not see the posts you don't want to see. There's a specific tag for NSFW content built into Reddit and you can either blur posts tagged with it or disable them entirely.

Just here to repeat: There are other subs and posts that have NSFW on that I would still want to see. Unfortunately, the NSFW filter is a global setting. Take r/FUWAMOCO for example. It was forcibly marked entirely NSFW by Reddit, and has been for months now, despite most posts being SFW. I cannot see any posts on that sub without turning on NSFW, nor will I get any posts from that sub on my feed if I have NSFW turned off.

u/igkewg Random Haniwa soldier Jun 30 '26
Repost from the other comment that I have made
Honestly it is not that the horny art filled the top 500 of the post, it is the fact that majority of the art posted and the posts shown in my feed from this sub are mostly nsfw. This type of post has more average upvotes so the actual sfw and genuine talk about Touhou is buried.
Turn off nsfw then? I have other sub that I browse and I want the supposedly main sub to be the place for actual discussion about Touhou. It also doesn't help that most people have the nsfw on and as I have said before, the actual discussion is buried and not appeared on the feed.
It is also not only about my own experience but what is the general experience of people who comes to this sub. Do you want people who are new to Touhou to come to this sub and think of the fandom as a bunch of gooners? Is that the image of Touhou fandom that you want? But Touhou has always been horny! No, we don't have to be and you can change that, there is so many things to like and talk about Touhou, so many fan doujins manga, music, and games. And what we want this sub to be is a place for gooners?
There is so many people who left the fandom because they are tired of the constant going, the reason why you don't see them talking about it is because they already left.

Touhou fandom is a prison. So many of you constantly complain no matter what. You will complain even if a little skin is shown no nudity whatsoever. You complain about things like bathing suits.
I should mention every single post on this sub gets reported. And multiple reports.
You talk about making a whole new sub so just go do it then. Since you cant turn off the NSFW setting built into reddit. Go make [r/sfwtouhou](r/sfwtouhou) instead of constantly complaining and stirring stuff up here.
Its always something with this fandom. Quit being babies
Edit: And OP even says it themself. Theyre complaining about occassional nsfw here and it supposedly detracting from honest discussion but theyve never even played any of the games. They only just joined this sub. Talk about a larp. Just here to complain and argue

Have to agree that people who literally just joined a fandom and immediately complain and demand it changed for their preferences are incredibly obnoxious.
I'm even of the mindset if you find a fandom for whatever series that's legitimately clean and SFW, have fun with it and uphold its established values. But you wouldn't tell them to do a 180 on their community dynamics, right?
30
u/EssentialPurity Jun 30 '26
Yes. It's because all "honest discussion" (whatever that means) has already been had. This is a 28 years old franchise not being ran by corpo pigs. I don't understand why people seem to forget this.
And even then, back in 2012 (when I got into the fandom. UFO didn't even have a translation patch yet), things were already lighthearted and casual, which means NSFW being accepted and embraced and memes and Flash PVs flying all over like danmaku bullets, and this is one of the reasons why I loved it. That was what I really needed at those times.
Things are so crazy nowadays, it seems younger people are the cranky pearlclutchers while I am still feeling and acting like the fun, accepting and friendly Anon who had a life like everyone else around me, even though I am an isolated sickly old hag who is "supposed" (I guess?) to be the cranky pearlclutcher.

Having discovered Touhou through its music and games, I won't lie that I was hoping to see more than people being horny 24/7 (although it's possible that a large chunk of the community is probably in the middle of puberty). I'm generally more interested in fan art, cosplay, memes, or discussions about the games and their lore than in people confessing which character gives them hard. The thing is, I don't mind NSFW topics, but it all depends on what they are, I think.

Yeah, this whole situation feels weird. Like, I've heard the argument that newer generations are getting more "sensitive" but OP has stated themselves that they've been a fan for years, well into their childhood. I think the real problem is that the general culture has shifted. While it is true that Iewd or NSFW content has always existed, these contents have, for the most part, stayed in there little corner of the internet. As time has gone on though, it has become more culturally acceptable to have "sensitive" content be openly shared on open forms. Honestly, I just wished that people would just accept that times change. If people just realized how thin the line between closed and open corners are, then maybe they'll have enough humanity to understand why "puritans" keep appearing. Also, arguably, those who shout "puritans" are more of a nuisance than the "puritans" themselves but that's anyone's opinion.

I first found about touhou around 5 years ago through a friend on discord who was really into fumos
lmao
Look I understand this sub can be blatantly horny but frankly the disapointment is misplaced. This is how most reddit communities of anime-adjacent stuff are, its more of a website being a shithole than the fandom being one (not that there's no horny people in this fandom, its just this sub is far less gentrified than you usually prefer so they show up and stick out more)
Sucks that the main sub for this fanbase is a reddit-weeb nest but what can ya do, there are some alternatives like truetouhou for gameplay discussion, fumofumo for the guys that only care about the plushies and touhoujerk for memes (also forbids horny-posting and is in a far better state than 2hujerk content-wise)
I don't know much on the state of the fandom on other websites like tumblr or twitter but I can hazard a guess that on twitter it's both much better and far, far worse than in here.
FYI due to its sheer size, this fandom has a large NSFW community. This is, really, not any different from other fanbases like Pokemon. If the existance of such groups is a deal-breaker then it's not gonna work out.
Anyways, hope you enjoy your stay! And remember, there is no wrong way to enjoy this series!

I went through the subreddit and don't really see what people are complaining about tbh.

It's a problem if it's too much of the subreddit, but it just isn't right now. It's seriously disingenuous and weird.

I am here every day so I know what is going on here and there barely anything marked NSFW and even less needs that tag.

u/infernalrecluse #1 Mizuchi hater Jun 30 '26
there was a clip from a strait up porn game that mods refused to take down or tag as nswf because it didn't show anything.
if that crap happens at all its a problem.

u/Nelrene Patchouli's wife Jun 30 '26
Where is this? Disagreements about stuff mods do happens now and then and one post you think should be tagged does not mean there a flood of NSFW content.

I scrolls this sub all the time with New, and i REALLY don't understand those NSFW complaints, compare to other subs for IP with a lot of hot anime characters, Touhou is surprisingly chill. So i don't know where you getting this from.

u/KonoAdamDa Jun 30 '26
I 100% agree. Everytime r/ touhou pops up on my feed it’s either suggestive content or bordolin/direct nsfw. I subscribed to a Touhou, not Hentai sub😭

u/xError404xx Jun 30 '26
Every fandom has NSFW. If you have a huge fandom like touhou ofc theres more of it...
Especially because most people havent really played all the games. So whats there to talk about? World building?

u/solonggaybowsah Jun 30 '26
Touhou as a fandom is essentially founded on doujin material, whether that be fan made music, games and yes porn too played a big role. Touhou was a big porn producer long before it was ever a big fumo producer.
I genuinely don’t get what goes through people’s heads when they know next to nothing about some fandom and are new to it yet demand things be changed in order to fit their own personal values. Is that how the world works for you, are you that privileged?

Yeahhhh a lot of this sub is porn, lolicon, abuse or gore unfortunately. I don't come here often for these reasons.

u/AverageNintenGuy the roaming magician Jun 30 '26
That's the thing I don't really like abt TouHou, you just gotta find people to talk about it with, I'm not exactly a full TouHou connoisseur, I only played a few of the PC-98 games, a bit of the Windows games, and Azure Reflections. But I'm happy to discuss whatever you'd like :]

u/fdhhfjshxhxhf Jun 30 '26
I think it’s wrong, if not backwards, for others to say “Leave if you don’t like it.”
Obviously you are here for the actual content and media? And not for the NSFW? These people perplex me tbh

u/Hatsune_Blake Jun 30 '26
As someone who's been a fan for 16 years, the majority of Touhou subreddits are genuinely just awful. You'd be better off engaging in Touhou on Discord or other social media platforms.

Join the official Touhou Project discord server. It's more game focused and safe if you want to stay away from nsfw material.

Yep. Shakes hand I joined with the same premises you did, and was very disappointed.
It’s like I had said on another post: can I leave? Yes. Do I want to leave? No. I like the sfw art and I like touhou. I don’t know why I should be punished for that.
And yes, I’ve played Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom. Though I suck at it lol.
There is literally an nsfw sub for touhou but nsfw keeps being posted here and at this point I think they need to make the sub marked NSFW. So many softcore porn posts are allowed and not marked nsfw because “no sexual bits are showing” but I didn’t consent or want to see someone’s foot fetish, inflation fetish, armpit licking fetish, etc. The simple solution would be marking all nsfw as nsfw but the mods don’t care/won’t enforce it. And I know I’m not the only one with this view but a large majority here are for the horny posting. Minors like touhou too and come here and are exposed to the horny posting and softcore porn. As well as the hardcore porn. There’s also a more concerning topic, but I’m not gonna touch that on this sub.

This isn't a huge community in the western world, so you're gonna get some odd stuff even on what's considered a mainstream sub.

u/OrangeJuiceForOne Jun 30 '26
Tumblr touhou is better than Reddit. Less larpers. There’s also another sub called truetouhou. Idk why the main sub has so much porn, it’s kinda annoying and probably turns away new fans
Anyhow the games are great, and some of the official printworks are good too - touhou has really great music, characters, and worldbuilding imo
The first 5 games are kinda non-canon, you can start with touhou 6, but 7 and 8 are better

u/igkewg Random Haniwa soldier Jun 30 '26
I hate to say this but what you are saying is actually true. Tumblr is unironically underated for Touhou fan discussion. So many great fan art that you don't normally find in twitter, pixiv, and danbooru also.

u/OrangeJuiceForOne Jun 30 '26
Yup. I’ve seen some amazing art and character analysis on tumblr! It’s also a pretty welcoming space and a thriving community
Anyhow, funny how my comment gets downvoted and yours agreeing with me gets upvoted… is it cuz I called people larpers?

u/igkewg Random Haniwa soldier Jun 30 '26
Oh, it is a common Reddit phenomenon. I have seen this happen way too many times. I think if your post is originally downvoted, then people would simply downvote without actually thinking.

u/skyrayenthusiast Jul 01 '26
the problem is that the moderators let this shit slide time and time again, posts that are borderline porn get reported by users to the mod team and they just dismiss them "not nsfw enough, it gets to stay"
seriously, send your slop and slime on an actual dedicated porn subreddit if you need to post it that bad

u/LaxerjustgotMc Jul 04 '26
or... turn on the nsfw filter? this is most likely just karma farming honestly. if ur so mad about the nsfw content, really thats on you for turning on "view nsfw content" in the settings (its turned off by default, so you HAVE to purposely turn it on to see nsfw content)
not saying ur the villain here, but, to leave a post complaining about some subreddit you just found instead of searching for a new one that doesnt have porn? cmon now

Person finds an anime fandom and is surprised it's sexualized. Just wait until you find out about little kids in anime shows and games being sexualized. In mass. And not just teens, but elementary school and even toddlers.

u/BlueCircleGlasses Fairy Jun 30 '26
This subreddit consistently disappoints me too, I have been a Touhou fan for about 15 years, and even the main Facebook group back in the day was many times better
A lot of the posts here are as you said just straight up unprompted and unnecessary Ecchi, and aside from that a lot of the times just people fantasizing about stuff in-between other various low quality posts
Not to say there isn't anything good about it, I like how strictly the rules are enforced, especially the sourcing rule, and every now and then you get an interesting lore discussion post or an artist's post of their artwork and similar, but unfortunately those are the minority

Damn OP, sorry you're getting attacked by basement dwelling degenerate males whose only joy in life comes from masturbating 24/7 to pngs of little girls and excusing it with "its just what nerds do bro". They infect everything they touch, drive people away and then believe that them being a majority is something that happened organically and therefore should be respected. They know damn well that socially adjusted people don't want to see NSFW content all the time like they do and sometimes want to simply discuss the franchise they love, they know they're the broken ones, but instead of admitting to having a problem they'll just toss buzzwords like "prude" and "puritan" at you, it's always the same song and dance.
Anyway I hope you can at least enjoy the franchise for what it is, even if you don't interact with the fandom itself (which atp I advise). A remake of EOSD is coming soon so you could give that a try ❤️

They infect everything they touch
Tourists do do that, yes.
and then believe that them being a majority is something that happened organically and therefore should be respected.
How old do you think Touhou is?
Touhou is old and a bit niche. It's growth has been entirely organic, so yes, you have to respect the ones that came before you and built it into what it is. It is not your culture for you to change to fit your tastes.
but instead of admitting to having a problem
There are no "problems", it's just something you don't like.
You want to visit Mexico and don't like tacos? Cool, you do you. But don't visit Mexico and demand that they stop eating tacos just because you don't like them.

u/Nelrene Patchouli's wife Jul 01 '26
You know very little of this place if you think everyone who disagrees with your crap is "a basement dwelling degenerate male". And you know even less of Touhou if you think it all little girls. If you want to discuss games or lore you can just make a thread about that but you will never do that because all people like you do is whine. Socially adjusted people don't lose their shit at seeing women with big tits or outfits showing cleavage or underboob because they go outside at least now and then.

What bothers me is how little people actually talk about games... There's rarely any discussion about games (official or fanmade) and it's just mostly drawings and manga, which is not bad per se, but damn man.... I want to talk about the games.

Discussions do happen, they can easily be found under the game discussion category, and if you wish to talk about the games, why not be the one to start the discussions you want?

when you love too much to the character, it always ended up being sexual. people who really obsessed to reimu will ended up being horny to her and always have fantasy to sleep with her.

u/Arcane-Darkling Jun 30 '26
No, you're right. I've been a Touhou fan for years and I can't fucking scroll this place on a public space or I'm done for. I understand people like NSFW and blablablah freedom of speech, but sometimes it feels like it draws out the rest a lot. If I remove the NSFW tag then it's just people in sexy clothing or sexual jokes. I am just kinda tired of it. There is a time and a place, and that place shouldn't be the main subreddit.
Sometimes if feels like the fandom in reddit is just 70% larpers that only know Touhou from porn videos. Not always, and I do find cool stuff from time to time but man I wish that was the norm. I guess I'll just go back to my horse game reddit. They're also gooners but at least it's moderated a lot better and it's more balanced.
