What does /jp/ think about the state of western 2hu youtube?

>>49946471 (OP)
I ignore it.

Is there even anyone still regularly making 2hu videos that aren't <1min jokes/animations?

>>49946483
Same. I think it's been two years since the last time I saw something about a 2hu youtuber

>>49946471 (OP)
Did something happen?

>>49946530
No, I was just curious

>>49946494
There are still MMD guys making stuff and dozens of yukkuri channels but if you meant on the west i can only think of
>>49946471 (OP) 's essays and the soku tournaments

>>49946471 (OP)

>>49946530
No, OP is just a ween trying to rile up people into being his personal army.

I have literally never interacted with it in any capacity since 2010 back when it was just replays and arrangers like kkcwkoh I think their name was.
>>49946640
That or he's expecting a meltdown from the /v/ raiders somehow allowed to still live on this board. I feel like if he wanted that he should make a fourth or fifth thread about Toby Fox, though.

>>49946640

I just thought it was a good thread idea ;_;

>>49946666
Well, it wasn't. Try again next time.

>>49946471 (OP)
There's only some decent mmd and drawfags left who mostly do skits. Other that I entirely ignore them as they tend to be gay retards even gayer than the retards here

>>49946666
Nice try ween, if you were genuine you'd have posted a screencap of any of the many western-made Touhou animations instead of the pfp of a barely relevant streamer. No "epic lols" 4 u today.

I think they are a nostalgic reminder of the Newgrounds era.

>>49946471 (OP)
This guy has some nice videos here and there like the PCB scoring history one or the useless trivia one
I don't really care for his secondary gaming channel but he sometimes showcases nice fangames there

There are some interesting channels. They are of very gentle demeanor and don't really make it about themselves - very Japanese ethos.

I think it's so weird how popular lore videos are on youtube, yet so few people do Touhou lore. What gives?

>>49947174
Most lorefags are too lazy to go look up actual myths and folklore, they just want to make shit up about Zanzibart's placeholder name they found while datamining and think of themselves as geniuses

I don't think i've ever even seen a single western 2hu video.
Theres something deeply sickening about hearing japanese names come out of an american (or worse british) accent that makes me avoid them entirely.

>>49947174
I feel like anyone competent enough to understand the lore on a non secondary level is probably also not the type to be able to compose themselves properly into comprehensive video form. It takes a certain level of presentation and charisma to get things across without it just being someone rambling for a video's length.
Lorefags for other franchises feel disingenuous anyways. Like they just try and find their corner to try and monopolize it, or you have cases like a certain soulsfag where they just steal all the work from elsewhere and present it as their own when they start trying to speculate.

>>49946471 (OP)
Is there anything good at all? Like the only thing I keep seeing are some shitty meme channels and stuff like "a REAL triangle player reacts to 2hu music".

>>49946471 (OP)
The gameplay challenge videos this guy has done are alright.

Otherwise I only really watch Jaimers' gameplay videos when they pop up, and despite not being a 2hu youtuber exclusively, I sometimes use this video as background noise because he has a pleasant neutral voice and doesn't try to be funny, just very straight to the point. So many western 2hu fans are autistic perverted nerds and that doesn't make for compelling videos you wanna watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28Zg2XfHGT0

I dont watch any of them

>>49947174
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bct1phaYgcA

There's a not-minor overlap between 40kiddies and Touhou. Weird the only channel with any crossover of the content is the fucking music one.

>>49946471 (OP)
it's aight

>>49947212
Wait they actually talk in the videos? They don't just skip the voices?

>>49946471 (OP)
I did come across a narrated fan story about Sakuya being Jack the ripper and meeting the scarlet devil mansion.

I ignore everything except basically people that make OC and even then it has to be at least decent, some MMD/SFM stuff qualifies

>>49946471 (OP)
I don't know but I'm into western 2hu drawfags now
i ignore those who put pronouns in the bio i'm not into entertaining that sick shit

>>49946471 (OP)
Pretty shit, it's either idpol or attention whores. I have a soft spot for Compact Youmu but that's really it. MTB is legendary too but he's Indonesian so I wouldn't quite call him western

>>49950490
I feel like western is more presentation than geography is at this point, but that's still a fair assessment. MTB reminds me of older JP MMD/MMD shitposts in a way. Feels like people in the west making content usually just, don't understand what works half the time? I'm not quite sure how to put it, but it feels like there's some kind of disconnect going on.
At least for people actively trying. I'm content with just ignoring the first two parties you mentioned. Especially when they somehow push the boundary into looking like tertiaries, which I really didn't think was possible until witnessing it myself.

>>49947174
https://youtube.com/@gensouchronicle
This guy actually goes into the mythological basis for the characters and setting, his thumbnails are clickbait but the content is pretty good

>>49950546
Western is just anyone who isn't a nip, chinese, or korean.
Also, what would you call tertiary? Secondary works are derivative from the mainline games, are tertiary works derivative from secondary works?

>>49949202
Oh hey, stringstorm
I first got into touhou because of his shinmy song

>>49951166
I sadly know some people that are into things like fumos, but don't even listen to the music, arrangements, engage with any kind of doujin content and are clearly just in it for the fumo trend. Not even the fact it's Touhou, but the fumos specifically, I doubt they could name more than 5 characters. It's so bizarre to me. You would think they would be a gateway into the franchise thing, not a point some people stop at.
Funnily they're also the politically vocal types. I'd also consider late 2010's Momiji posters tertiaries on that topic, but mainly to just outright insult them, but also because it was clear after a point she was just being spread around as some random anime girl to half the people posting her.

>>49946471 (OP)
>>49946471 (OP)
I am going to be honest, I wish there were good 2hu western channels. That partake in the lore properly and explain things and even sometimes make non-biased tier list. But channels like GensokyoChronicle are bad at lore, even Redditors admit it.

The unique good channels I have found where on the Spanish side (Learning Spanish paid-off) From a channel called "Ayavami", "Ayanami" or something like that which had a pleasant way of narrating the lore of the 2hus, the unique problem was that he was outdated.

>>49951252
>spoiled text

I find it strange how Momiji of all characters in a franchise full of blonde psychos was the character to be associated with MAGA. Is something that always made me wonder how the hell right-wingers find their symbology. I mean, if they selected a character like Maribel that is aryan it would visually make sense and the same amount of sense as taking Momiji. I mean, it makes the makes the same amount of nonsense.

>>49947081

>>49951558
Maribel is greek

>>49946471 (OP)
The only Touhou youtube videos worth watching are the musical ones and the "All bosses no damage" videos. Anything else is garbage.

>>49951655
I know but can someone explain to me how did Momiji become a MAGA symbol? And also, why some Touhou fans happen to be Nazis? I have found a good chunk of Touhou fans who post antisemitic stuff or things like save Europe. Why would they be fans of of a franchise so innocent?

>>49951666

>>49951683
Please forgive me if I sound like a newfag. And yes I know Touhou is not innocent. But please answer my question Anon-kun

Best answer I can give is '4chan: no sense of Right and Wrong'

>MTB is legendary too but he's Indonesian so I wouldn't quite call him western

I don't like people hating on MTB because his fanbase happen to be western secondaries, he just seems like a guy who likes making Touhou MMD's. Besides being Asian.

>>49951666
My first encounter with Touhou was through a neo-Nazi on the History Channel IRC long before there was a jay. He was actually really interesting. He was an artist and client side hacker who drew images of 1000 year Reich Reimu. Not nazi chic style but more traditional. I wish I had saved those. How is hell this time of year?

>>49951789
Read this.

Now, in my personal experience, I remember entering a Hava Nagila music video (you know perfectly what happens in those comment sections) and at least two or three had 2hu pfps. And something similar to this pic also happened to me. There is genuinely a link with weebs and nazism, and I have seen it in other media as well.

The switch up he did after he's teto video blew up... i mean at least he is bothering another fandom

They're alright on the gameplay side. Mino's channel is really great all around, and Yatsu has some good videos as well.

>>49951558
A lot of it is that there was the "awoo" meme with any old anime wolfgirl back in the day, then they corrupted the MAGA """""movement""""" with the rhyme "awoovement", which is how it became associated with Momiji

>>49953755
He made an excellent video on Cookie but since he got ~20k subs his ego is obscenely large for an E list Youtuber

Every time I think to myself "/pol/fags can't be THAT retarded" they just go and prove that they're actually even more retarded than previously thought.

>>49954385
This post hurts to read.

>>49954344
Thank you anon but now in a list. Well, I have been in a list since ever but now I might be reframed as a nazi

Besides :D I also like behemoth (the muaic artist) I found about him thanks to perturbator, I find it weird that these guys have Satanic symbology so often hehe

>>49954403
Nta, but how would you define touhou project then?

>>49954403
I'd laugh if I didn't have to share a website with these faggots.

>>49954412
Not buzzword salad, that's for sure. I don't need to provide an alternative to call someone's retarded definition what it is, but I'll do it anyway. "Japanese-themed Danmaku game." It's not a be-all end-all but it's fairly accurate without projecting my own mental illness onto it.

>>49954403
Nice counterargument!
So do you think Touhou promotes social modernization and virtue ethics? That actually makes a lot of sense considering how positively it portrays the future, how little thought is given to Japanese tradition, or how the whole franchise is not built around a collection of aesthetics essays based around Japanese legends.

>>49954449

I feel bad for him man I think he was just enthusiastic

>>49954434
Every word is a buzzword to you, you lack abstract thought.

>>49951666
Because Momiji had the unfortunate triad of a wolf with a red white color scheme with a red hat.
So she was immediately coopted by magaturds and awooturds.
Combine that with their unironic sincerity and crusade mentality (Hmm where have I seen that before?) and you get the current disaster.

>>49946471 (OP)
I ignore it. The entire western (non-Jap/Chink/Gook) Touhou community is fucking aids.
This very thread devolving into off-topic is an example of this as well.
>youtube
Every video essay grifter I found is a secondary who doesn't have a single 1cc (if they do then they're inconsistent or not able to follow-up in the other games reliably) OR a lorelet fixated on memes and headcanon theories instead of canon.

>>49954869
Anon you've very blatantly a secondary who knows nothing about the Japanese Touhou community.

>>49954892
I somewhat hate how /jp/ and the western "cultured" fandom of touhou in general worships the Japanese fandom like if they were the only true fans. Not only japs ALSO do not play the games, but they are the most degenerate of the bunch. If that wete not enough, you have to remember that beatmario is on the Japanese side and his song Help me Erin attracted a lot of secondaries in both Japan and the West. Besides that is in Japan were they took the decision to promote Touhou to children. The thing that made the Japanese fandom so good was the doujin music, fan arts, fangames, etc. And that good but I feel like it is a lost age.

>>49954908
Japanese fans don't blame the games at a much higher rate than you'll see in any other area. They also have plenty of fooling around, mischaracterization, and their own problems like ZUN worship, anti-piracy to the point of knowing nothing about the older games because screenshots are piracy, how they view characters as people and are really touchy if you do anything questionable to them, and more. Japan's main plus is the output of fan content they make but I bet most /jp/sies who are ardently anti-not-Japanese would hate actually talking to your average Japanese Touhou fan.

>>49954908
He's retarded for thinking the nips aren't secondaries, but he is right about
> This very thread devolving into off-topic is an example of this as well
There are few places in the western fandom where you can have Touhou discussion without things derailing into culture war faggotry.

>>49954920
>how they view characters as people and are really touchy if you do anything questionable to them, and more

This is the most RETARDED crap I have ever seen. Every Touhou character is my onahole, they are made solely to take my cock. They worth for FUCKING NOTHING.

>Piracy
I knew they were anti piracy but not knowing about the past games is insane. And the irony is that the Western Touhou fandom puts in a pedestal 1ccing all the games.

If this is how the Japanese fandom is, from where comes this utopic idea of the western fandom of them?

>>49954920

That's putting it lightly. While the nips do have an absurd level of throughput compared to the west, making it relatively easy to find content to actually enjoy, there's also just as much trash to filter through as well. Especially when these problematics nips are the reason you get problematic secondaries in the west, since for some reason they're the ones that get content translated or posted around constantly. Some of the bizarre shit like the pairings they force is just surreal at times.

>>49954449
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Gensokyo isn't a traditionalist paradise. It's a place where an elect few (the youkai) tend to their farm (the human village) while they wait for outside world conditions to change so can they reinvade.

OP's question was about the western community, not the Japanese one, and I've answered it as such and I've worded it as such as well.
Did you really think I didn't consider how bad the Japanese community gets?

It's pretty good, some characters are busted like Yugi and Nitori and the campaign can get a bit long because it requires 100 points but otherwise it's actually pretty fun, i saw on steam that it's getting an update soonish so the problem i mentioned may not even be there anymore.
