To begin with, I will be honest:
he always had some sloppy in his works—
(tracing, plagiarism, stock images,
even AI at one point, but its not that bad).
Some people think he makes good characters,
and yes, he does sometimes,
but mostly he makes very simple and vague ones
where only fans truly fill them with charm.
He makes countless of them, slate or not,
again and again. And you know the designs
are part of why fans even bother
to start trying to like a tad of them.
And honestly, that's just normal.
I'm not gonna pretend part of my disappointment
doesn't come from his rejection of PC-98
and some retcons. With how he constantly
just makes new shit up, why even do that?
Why did he bring back four returning girls
and not one of the most charismatic ones?
Is he stupid?
"Oh, he doesn't want to just please his fans"—
blah, blah, blah.
He made UT collabs to please another comm,
and yet PC-98 fans dry out. Wth.
The worst part is I'm an old fan,
been playing these games for a while,
and they truly do matter for me in some way.
And yet, I can see very well it's luck
that made him rise. He's no genius,
just a recognized good composer.
Touhou charmed people, and they made it
keep going up to twenty. But Zun is no
humble cool dude, and neither is he an asshole.
He's just a guy. He won't hear any
non-important person, and that's fine.
It just saddens me.
So what do I do?
Well, I don't really support him at this rate,
and that doesn't change anything.
Nothing really changes. He will just keep
doing his thing, and I will keep consuming
fan works. But am I really a Touhou fan
at this rate? Or just a fan of fan works?
