Yes, that. That's what I mean about the forced humor. But hey, it's Cracked, so I don't expect it to be side-splittingly funny or anything. As a 500-word article about Touhou it more or less covers the bases.

Touhou is already too popular with the "wrong people" and has been for years.  But then that's how it spread to most of us :P  So more people knowing about it can't hurt too much, as I highly doubt mass appeal will cause ZUN to create NintenLolis to satisfy a vapid fanbase.

Also, this article fails because it shows a vid of the Flandre fight, which is about the least impressive thing you can show anyone about Touhou from the last seven years and violently conflicts with the earlier statements that the bosses have "beautiful" and "hard" patterns.  (Well, the "hard" is accurate enough but it's not obvious from the vid.)

I also think there is a bias to the article, namely in its insistent reminders that everyone is a loli and the fanbase has just about every kind of "wrong" thing you could expect from horny and mindless geeks.

u?kurri thinks this article takes it too easy.
mark2000:
The guy was pretty well informed if only a bit too error prone. I love the twist at the end though and for what it's worth, at least it gave me a good laugh.
Alice Fact:

I'd think so. Still funny though. I doubt one article will bring any mass number of new fans though.
The underweight comments about Zun made me laugh. If he really is 110 pounds then I weight the same amount he does. Think I could take Zun in a fight?
