Well derp. Kinda friend/cousin's reaction (not sure about the relationship LOL)

Me: Wanna play some games for a while?
Him: OK

After a while of playing, he goes raging since I never let him win

To a friend:
"So I finally cleared UFO on normal the other day..."
"UFO?"
"Touhou 12."
"Oh, Touhou's that game for pedophiles and old guys, isn't it."
"..."



To my sister:
"Are you playing that game again?"
"..."
"Only the fighting games are good."
"..."
"Who's that girl you're drawing? Oh, it's another one of the obscure tohoes nobody cares about. Only the ones in the fighting games are good, other than Flandre and Chen. You don't like the fighting games because you're bad at them. See, let me try that for a second."
I scoot over and open IN on easy modo border team for her. She gets a continue on stage 2.
"I don't like this game. It gives me headaches."
 :persona:



To that weird girl who I swear was playing UN Owen on the flute:
"What are you playing?"
"OMG MY BROTHER PLAYS THAT GAME WITH YOUR SISTER" (They play SWR together.)
"I don't have a sister."
"But you two have the same last name..."
"I HAVE NO SISTER."

Most terrible way to introduce someone to any game, ever, you mean. At least give your opponent a sporting chance.

I think I had a thread for this last year :V

Anyway,

Gateway-to-Touhou Friend Who I Am Now Better Than By Several Orders of Magnitude
DON'T DIEEEEEEEEEE
>is on Stage 1

Friend Who Also Plays Touhou
What stage is that you are on Normal how did you do that without continuing
or
YOU'RE ON THE EXTRA STAGE?
or
THE PHANTASM STAGE?

Girlfriend
More Touhou! Why am I not surprised!
>Do you want to play?
No!
(She has... incredibly unfond memories of MoF Stage 1)

Several Other Friends
Whoah, you are dodging that?
Are you sure that's Easy Mode? (>SA Stage 5)
Who's that douchebag? (>Is fighting Parsee)
What game is that? Wait, you have to do that?

Passersby
Whoa.
Hey, look at that!
Huh, he died. Not surprised...

So like pretty much the same as last time :V

Friends:
"Are you playing that Tou-whatever loli game again?"
"I don't know how you can read that."
"You suck play Lunatic."

Acquaintances:
"MASTER SPAAAARK!"

Others:
"Holy shit :o"

My favorite response came while I was playing Touhoumon; a friend across the room asked what I was playing and another one answered, "his Slave Trader Deluxe 3 game." Needless to say, the nickname stuck until I quit it altogether but it was a great in-joke for a while since we knew people who were playing it around the same time.

'Where's that girl in your background from?'
>Touhou
'Don't know it'

'Are those manga'
'Yeah my parents bought it from me in Japan'
'Do you even know where it's from?'
'Yeah, touhou'
'Don't know it'

A girl in my physics class last year asked me about this "really interesting game" I was obsessed about. I showed her Touhou, and a few days later, her friends complained to me that she was playing Touhou all the time in her dorm =p

She was a gamer though. Most people aren't so receptive, usually because it's too hard.

First post.

Most of my friends consider themselves "gamers" but they are COD fanboys so they don't understand touhou or the Cave shooters I play.

How I can play the same stage for hours just to be able to make small progress doesn't make sense to them, they want the instant gratification that is so ingrained in our culture.

Whenever someone see me playing in class (shouldn't do that but can't help it) they are usually impressed, but I believe peoples preconceived notion is that anything anime/Japanese is for kids/nerds or whatever so they write it off.

Also, the Reimu posters on the wall can't help.

Where I live (Fayetteville, AR) games like that are just not popular/enjoyed for some reason, were just a bunch of dumb rednecks apparently. I feel like the only shmup player in the state, so this community will be nice.

By the way, love this website/community. We touhou fans may be a little bit crazy but are defiantly the best and most loyal fan base I've run into.

"Oooh, nice music."

That's it, really. My friends don't have much interest in games. SA's music is a consistent favourite (particularly stage 4).

Hence, posted in "Touhou Addict Recovery Center." Lol.... stage 1. I think they've seen me play enough for them to say that on stage 6 normal xD. Every time someone gets me addicted to something, I get someone else addicted. Eg. Minecraft, I find out how to setup servers, 7ish people start playing. Still are.

The same thing most people have said already...
"OMFG HOW DO YOU DODGE THAT?!?!?!"
"It's so colorful it hurts!!!"
"What difficulty is this?!!?!?!?!" me: "Normal" "WTF!??!?!?!?!?"
"You must have no life" <-------- IT HURTS it hurst so much... :ohdear:
"You suck" (Friend asked me to play the hardest difficulty and I pichuuuunned~ all over the place T.T)

I'm almost certain no one in my school knows what a lolicon is. They just all call me perverted and a pedophile when I tell them that all the characters are girls...

my friend from high school knew about touhou due to my unhealthy obsession, but he was indifferent toward it. he did like some arranges, though. my other, more internet-savvy friend knew about touhou without me needing to show it to him, but he's uninterested. whenever i show him something like the reimu vs. okuu 3d dogfight, he just remarks that touhou is really weird, but we get along really well.

when i would play touhou during computer classes, it would basically go like
person: are those things even hurting you
me: no i haven't been hit yet
person: geez

tl;dr neutral reactions basically

oh yeah, my 7-year-old brother loves to play the games even though he doesn't understand anything that's happening. we play pofv and soku now and then, he likes "the ghost sword girl"

isn't it interesting that when people are affected by someone saying "you must have no life" it generally encompasses you having no comeback, and kind of sounds like "stop pointing it out" rather than anything else lol

Your brother just got a lot cooler! =P I <3 Youmu too!!

I'm sure the true addicts out there would favor the "stop pointing it out" bit but I hate it when people say it to me. Makes me think that I won't be able to find a partner later in life. :ohdear:
So I always try to say something back but really, there's no comeback to that other than a personal attack on their character. Which is just going to make things worse.

EDIT: I'm not bipolar by the way, if anyone was thinking that. I just read Nyyl's comment first before "Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted" popped up.

I take a break from homework in a computer lab, start playing Mountain of Faith which I conveniently put on my flash drive, and a couple of people ask me how I'm not dying, then someone says "oh, that's Touhou, I didn't know you played that, you're doing kind of badly though".  All I had to say to that was "I'm not focusing." (I was playing extra).  Let's just say people were impressed when I captured Snake Eats the Croaking Frog at 0 power  :V

In general people have no idea what I'm doing and think dying twice to Stage 3 easy mode is good-great play.  Although I only play easy at 120 FPS now.

oh yeah, my 7-year-old brother loves to play the games even though he doesn't understand anything that's happening. we play pofv and soku now and then, he likes "the ghost sword girl"
YAY YOUMU!

My brother plays Touhou a little bit, his favorite character is Suwako.  For the hat.

He didn't like the Idea of a only female character game.... we have yet to talk about it since

Was playing MoF in the school library and they asked why wasn't I dying just because the bullet hit my sprite.
They kept telling me that until they got bored and left.

I showed my entire Health class last week, but was too lazy to post about it here. And I quote how it (basically) went:

Me: ...and this is [REDACTED IMAGE DESCRIPTION IS REDACTED], because I looove the Touhou series.
Classmate 1: What's Touhou?
Me: ... It's kinda like Galaga on steroids. Except with more anime-ness.
Classmate 2: What's Galaga?
Me: *sigh*

Of course, there's another kid in my school who I found out liked Touhou last year (He's in my comp programming class this year), but I don't really remeber about that.

Friend1: Eh, you only need to move a little bit... ok, maybe a lotta bit O.O (EOSD, Remilia Normal)
Friend2: Harder than Iwbtg? (PCB, Yukari stage, failing over and over...)
Friend3: Get a life, seriously, play on the PS3 or something .-. (Back then, not much of a friend now ^^" Can't remember what I was playing)
Boyfriend: LOOOOOOL You suck at this (IN, Failing Keine on Normal D:)
Brother: Let meee have a try D: -plays against Letty on Normal, gets owned- K I don't wanna play this anymore... (PCB, Letty, Normal)
Mum: I don't like you playing these games -.- (SA, Utsuho on Easy modo, furious temper roaring after about 30 continues)

So I was showing my friend some of the Touhou characters and their themes.

Me: This is Kaguya's theme, she's a princess from the moon.
Friend: Doesn't look like a princess from the moon..
Me: *shows official art*
Friend: Nope.
Me: This is a shrine maiden. *shows Sanae*
Friend: Doesn't look like a shrine maiden...
Me: This is an immortal phoenix. *shows Mokou*
Friend: Doesn't look like an immortal phoenix...(by now he's obviously just doing this to annoy me)
Me: This is a hell raven! *shows Utsuho*
Friend: Looks more like a nuclear reactor.
