"Hilarious" Touhou article
Tengukami:
Agreed.
Ghaleon:
I think the article is pretty good actually. I read it, and after reading this thread, re-read it. And neither time did I feel like it was really going on and on about being about pedophiles or little girl fantasies. It spent a great deal of the article complimenting the serieis, and everything to do with it as a whole imo. The little girl part was the only exception, which really wasn't beaten like a dead horse IMO.
Personally my beef with it was that it portrayed that alot of the fan-made stuff is smutty or whatever. Of all cosplays I've seen before before, which granted isn't very much since I'm not even into anime that reimu one is by far the most smutty cosplay I've seen, then the hentai reimu/sakuya thing immediately after just put the over-emphasis in that department into overdrive IMO.
But maybe my general noobness in the touhou universe is in the wrong and there really IS that much hentai/sluttycosplay/etc in this department...I doubt it.
Overall though I didn't really think that this article labels touhou fans as pedos, or even LIKELY pedos compared to anybody else, and believe me. I'm sensative and am prone to take things personally, so you do the math >=P.

This is indeed a great introduction for someone willing to be introduced into the world of touhou. It has the right mood/feeling/touch/tone, the atmosfere of the touhou fanbase actually^^. Touhou should become a little more poplular in some regions such as my homecountry. I see way to few cosplayers on the cons.
Suikama:
Little girls are awesome so it's all good
