Stopped reading here.

>>35090113
>Touhou Last Word
Fuck off

>>35090113
Whatever, who cares. You will never go to Gensokyo.

>>35090113
Buy a VR headset and play VRchat. There's a ton of people like you who want to be girls and take it easy.
Although many of them will claim to be actual girls and be pissed off when you comment that the voice changer he's using isn't very good.

>>35090113
>but I'm stuck on this boring world
Your main problem is not being able to see the wonderful parts of the world you currently live in. I hope you're able to, one day. There's so much beauty out there, waiting for you to discover it.

>>35090358
It's not the same

>>35090424
I know there are some beautiful parts in this world, but none of them compare to Gensokyo

>>35090479
You wouldn't last 10 minutes in Gensokyo because you're a low test wimp who cries about not being a little girl. If you were isekai'd in Gensokyo as a human you'd be an easy snack for some low tier youkai. If you were reborn as a youkai, you'd become a target practice for human kids. Even if you were a god, you'd die instantly because no one would ever have any faith in loser like you.

>>35091007
That sounds like a doujin plot

>>35090113
So you're 14 years old.

Get a life and have sex retard

>>35090113
You can still interact with the denizens of Gensokyo by writing or drawing scenarios involving them. They don't exist, but they can come alive and do whatever you want through your imagination. The stuff you make might be shit, but the great thing about keeping things to yourself is that no one will know. If you don't know how to write or draw, you can easily learn by using touhou and its world as practice material.

I feel you, OP.
Wanna be friends and cry together?

>>35090113
Anon, I can understand wanting to be a 2hu because I wouldn't mind being someone like Sanae, but letting it take over your life is dumb. At most, it's fantasy that you can occasionally indulge in. Maybe learn to lucid dream if you want it that badly.
More importantly, stop being a wimp. Most 2hus aren't pathetic crybabies. Also, don't play gacha garbage.

>>35091811
Also sorry, calling you a pathetic crybaby or a wimp is pretty mean. I believe you can find a way to want to be a 2hu in Gensokyo in a way that doesn't make you feel so depressed.

>>35090113
>it pains me that gensokyo isn't real and that I'm not a little 2d girl living in it

Meidos aren't doing their job, like always. A couple years back crossie posts like that would have been deleted in seconds.

>>35090113
thanks, i actually do feel quite sad about it too, for the same reasons. everyone is nice to me there.

>>35092673
it's so sad that the final /jp/sy meido killed himself last December. all we have left are streamerfags now.

>>35090113
I don't get the part of wanting to be a little 2d girl. But the rest I do get.

>>35090358
>Buy a VR headset and play VRchat.
Of coursh I'm sure talking to kids with ugandan sonic avatars, meme spouters, furros and troons looking for impressionable kids to groom will help OP.

>>35094140
Maybe there are Touhou dedicated servers?

…Maybe we should make a /jp/ VRchat server? We could RP as our fovorite 2hus and complain about meidos and holofucks!

>>35090113
I used to know someone obsessed with Touhou and thought like you. She used to cosplay a lot particularly as Sanae. She got me into in the franchise. I was a young kid at the time and it was before I moved to states so the whole thing felt bizarre to me. She was basically like an older sister to me. And whe we got to high school she became my first girlfriend. I remember she had me over playing TH8 on her laptop. We used to spend so much time on those stupid games. Went into depth about all the characters and all the silly shit they did. She passed away from genetic heart condition when I was 16. It was the hardest time in my life. I still think about her. It’s sucks Gensokyo isn’t real but I appreciate the series for what has brought me and all the memories.

>>35092962
Meido anheroed? What's the backstory?

>>35094307
>complain about meidos and holofucks!
What part of escaping reality do you not get

>>35091662
Yes I'd like to be friends if you're not lying

>>35094140
You could also do what I do and explore cool and interesting new worlds by yourself. And occasionally posing in front of mirrors.
>furros and troons
I'm curious about what those are, but I feel like I'd be better not knowing.

How long do I have to wait until I can travel to Gensokyo in simulated reality?

>>35094140
Maybe you should stop experiencing things vicariously through shitposting that you saw on /v/

>>35090113
I actually get it.
I can't say I relate to wanting to be a girl but the VN aspect of Lost Word felt like I was seeing that world I always wanted to see for years. The POV of a human who accidentally found their way to Gensokyo.
I'm not a fan of the outside world.
Roughly 10 years ago I decided to start up Sappheiros and when I did I also cut off everybody I knew for a year, no exceptions. Granted after a year I stopped playing that game every day and ignoring real life but I still have romantic thoughts about disappearing again.
You're really not alone on this.

>>35091050
It really does.

Shit that post was pretty awesome honestly. It's the hard truth about gensokyo.
Honestly as a human you wouldn't get far unless you haul ass to a shrine asap and sign up for your faith of the month.

>>35091007
Which is why being a fairy is ideal

>>35096295
Boohoo faggot

>>35096552
Not him but nobody actually knows. /jp/ was always one of the better moderated boards, but once the drama in December started they just slowly started getting more and more inactive to the point where multiple flanfly threads and NSFW stuff up for days at a time isn't uncommon. Given the timing, it's probably not a coincidence it happened at the same time vtubers flooded the board, so the two main guesses were either that they quit, leaving /jp/ with a vtuber majority-biased moderation, or there was some kind of infighting going on at the time between the moderation which ended with them getting the boot.

>>35100278
I feel like all the current mods are newfags

>>35092673
Meidos are fucking retarded more news at 11

>>35090113
The internet has nothing to do with Gensokyo.
Gensokyo exists within official games/books/cds and within your heart.

>>35090113
It sounds like it would suck being you.

>>35096295
>Be anon
>Actually had a life and a girlfriend
>All those things went poof
That's actually kinda sad.

>>35098029
Furries and trans.
I know what it is so you must too.

>>35090113
Take it easy, Anon.

>>35090113
>but it pains me that gensokyo isn't real
But it is real, you just need the right tools to enter it.

>>35097991
It's okay, mate. No need to be so worked up over nothing. Just take deep breaths and relax. Gensokyo is fictional, and it always will be fictional until some type of immersive simulated reality comes into existance which will make it into something much more than some fantasy land in a fantasy game. Just think about your priorities at this moment and act accordingly. Your wellbeing is the most important.

>>35109673
The idea of a guy living his entire life doing nothing but good, saving the world and creating unimaginable technological and scientific advancements that contribute to the prosperity of the world like curing cancer and stuff dying and getting eternal damnation because he didn't believe in some book written a million years ago is very funny to me

>>35110458
You have very little understanding of Christianity and a great hatred for God. Like a child rebelling against his parents.

>>35100278
Wait, that doesn't add up. Don't vtubers have their own board?

>>35111450
Not for the longest time. They all came here because this board had no recourse to exile them somewhere else and therefor got the short end of the stick.
And for some reason, there's still some of them here and posting at a speed that is over 10 times faster than the second fastest thread right now.

>>35111450
They got their own board but threw a temper tantrum and won't leave /jp/ because they're attached to it

>>35111450
If you don't know the old whole story;
Prior to December /jp/'s old arrangement with vtubers was that they could post here so long as they stuck to their few generals. They leaked out of their generals sometimes and people bitched about it, but it wasn't that bad and things were like this for years. Then just before Christmas last year the moderation suddenly made an unspoken change in that, rather than being stuck to to a specific general, EVERY vtuber should be allowed to have their own thread. This of course resulted in massive spamming and shitposting from both sides on the board for about a week or two.

A few months after that, the vtuber board is made, which everyone from both sides had been asking for from the beginning just about. Except, there's no actual enforcement to post vtubers there. You can post the exact same threads on /vt/ as you can on /jp/ and in the end the new board resolved nothing because a lot of them liked /jp/'s board culture more than their newly founded boards'. This of course again resulted in massive amounts of shitposting and spamming, a lot of which questioning why the moderation would even bother making a new board if they're not going to enforce a move to it since that was the whole point behind the idea.

How this effected our old meido nobody knows. Maybe they got tired of dealing with all the shitposts and mod-hate for a change they had nothing to do with, or maybe they simply retired just beforehand or had some falling out with other mods who then went wild on board changes. Nobody knows, and probably never will since we're not privy to what goes on in the moderation even when it concerns the board.

>>35114462
This nanashi_ guy lying about how they were still trying to figure out a solution, and about how they would appreciate honest feedback certainly didn't help either.

I'm so tired of it all. This entire farce could have been avoided, but here we are.

>>35090113
I know exactly how you feel, but for some reason this is not a big deal for me, I really dont know the difference between us...

I also want to ask you, do you really want to be a cute girl or you just want to feel cute and you associate cuteness with girls? Because you can be a cute guy without being a faggot, if thats what you are worried about. I agree that its not the same thing to be a cute girl and a cute guy, but one of the most important things in life is to value yourself, and if being cute would make you love yourself more, do it!

>>35090113
>>35115103
I'd fuck you both(yes homo)

>>35115197
You will have to ask my wife

>>35090113
It's ok OP, a lot of people feel the same way you do.
You only get one life, though, so I hope you'll find a way to enjoy it. I know this is not helpful, but with the right mindset, the world is a beautiful place. Please take care of yourself.

>>35115103
>I also want to ask you, do you really want to be a cute girl or you just want to feel cute and you associate cuteness with girls?
I want to be a cute little 2d girl, I want to be innocent and have fun with my other little 2d girl friends, exploring Gensokyo with them, if I were a fairy I'd be the happiest person ever, living a carefree life as a cute fairy playing with my fairy friends all day, maybe I could get a cute crush and have cute yuri moments with another girl (maybe a fairy, maybe a yokai, maybe even a human) until we both confess to each other and do even more cute yuri things, playing pranks on others, laughing at dumb jokes, do you get it? I want to be specifically a little girl IN gensokyo, preferably a fairy but a human or yokai little girl on gensokyo is fine.
>Because you can be a cute guy without being a faggot, if thats what you are worried about. I agree that its not the same thing to be a cute girl and a cute guy, but one of the most important things in life is to value yourself, and if being cute would make you love yourself more, do it!
I am a cute guy, at least my boyfriend says I am (we're e-dating but I still believe it counts), but this isn't what I truly want, I hate the real world, I hate most of the people in it, I cry almost every day, I can have fun moments in it sometimes specially now that I have a boyfriend, but it really is just sometimes, if I were a little girl in Gensokyo I'd have fun moments all the time, I wouldn't cry because of all the problems and burden I have to carry, I wouldn't have to worry about anything, I wouldn't be paranoid, I'd just have fun all day as a cute little girl in Gensokyo.
>>35115500
Thank you friend

>>35090113
I remember you from the lostword thread yesterday anon, do you like Alice?

I like to listen to TAMUSIC's piano arrangements as I go to sleep and imagine what it'd feel like to live in Gensokyo. Sometimes I imagine I'm working in the SDM and falling asleep on a pile of books in the library. Sometimes I like to imagine I'm spending a night in the forest of magic, wandering around in the fog or falling asleep amidst the yokai under a tree.

what 0 pussy does to a mf

>>35115807
stop false flagging as a prison gay please bro… troll /a/ instead

>>35090113
I know it's not much, but there's happiness to be found in this world anon. We can't live in a beautiful magical world like Gensokyo, but if you keep searching, you'll find something to love out there someday.

>>35115904
Elaborate

>>35115861
>I remember you from the lostword thread yesterday anon, do you like Alice?
Yes I like her, when I first got into Touhou she was my favorite, nowadays It's Yachie but Alice is still the character I relate to the most.
>I like to listen to TAMUSIC's piano arrangements as I go to sleep and imagine what it'd feel like to live in Gensokyo. Sometimes I imagine I'm working in the SDM and falling asleep on a pile of books in the library.

I do that too, except I don't listen specifically to TAMUSIC's arrangements, just random arrangements or sometimes the original soundtrack.
>>35115920
I am not falseflagging and I am not prison gay.
>>35115949
There is stuff to love, but it isn't nearly enough to make me truly as happy as I'd be as a cute little girl in Gensokyo

>>35115807
Understandable :(
I hope you find joy in the world we currently live, because thats what we get for now, and I truly believe that you deserve to be happy. I wish I could show you the beautiful side of our world, because I promise, this side exist, but hard as fuck to see sometimes...
Well, probably you heard this a lot, but ask for help. You cant go forward without people to support you, and for sure they will need you to support them.

>>35116071
Thank you, you deserve to be happy too.

>>35115807
what's the colour of your hair? would you like to be a red head fairy?

>>35116240
My hair is dark brown, but being a red head fairy would be super cute! I'm fond of the color white/gray but having white/gray hair irl would bring too much attention so I keep it the natural dark brown

>>35090113
Convert to Catholicism. It's like Touhou but instead of youkai you get saints! You can still be a Touhou fan while being Catholic too.

>>35116584
If you could travel to Gensokyo the way you are right now would you be just as happy than if you were a cute 2D little girl in Gensokyo

lmao this thread

>>35111510
>They all came here because this board had no recourse to exile them somewhere else and therefor got the short end of the stick
They could've easily sent their original general that kept growing to /vg/ because the vast majority of vt are video game streamer cancer.
It boggles my mind that they (tranny mods) are very lenient with these cancerous vt threads but others threads like mahjong and other stuff were exiled from the board.

>>35116862

>>35116940
oh my

>>35116806
I'd certainly be happier than I am right now, but, I really want to be a cute 2D little girl there y'know? I'd be small, cute, innocent, I'd have a longer lifespan, I'd be able to befriend other cute girls and maybe get adopted by good parents if I'm still human, I'd fit right in, but if I go there the way I am right now, I'd 100% be happy, but still I'd be carrying all the burdens I have right now, back pain, bad memories and such, I would enjoy myself, I could even try to learn magic that transforms me into a cute girl like a fairy forever, but I wouldn't enjoy myself as much as I would if I went there as a cute 2D little girl, being a cute 2D little girl in Gensokyo would certainly make me the happiest I could ever be.

>>35116584
there are not many redhead fairies you could be a rare one

>>35117330
Yes it would be great

>>35090113
Believe it or not OP I do feel the same way, and despite loving Touhou for a long time now, Lost Word made me feel the same way you did.

I know how stupid it is, but when Daiyosei says she's happy to see me and wants to play, or Sakuya makes delicious tea for me, or my character praises Meiling for her hard work, I feel happy inside. Everyone treats me so nice and my character is so polite to them as well. I want to tell Youmu she did a great job in her maid training, or read Flan a bedtime story. I want to sit around excited for Meiling's Chinese Tea. You get all the fun banter of the games but everyone is friends, and you feel like you're a part of it, even if your character doesn't do much it makes me happy to see Reimu praise me.

Over the past year I've felt like people are extremely cruel in this world, I've fallen deeper and deeper into despair. I don't really believe humanity at its core are good people anymore. Its nice to "get away" from it be in a place where everyone wants to have fun and is happy to see each other.

Is it pathetic? Probably, but I don't see much value in the life I'm living now anyway.

>>35117879
Wow you really are just like me, I felt the same way playing the game, don't worry anon It's not pathetic, if anything the cruel people are the truly pathetic ones

>>35117879
It's like that one scene in Joker where Arthur kills those guys at the subway and then later one he admits he killed them because they were awful and explains how everyone being uncivil and impolite all the time led him to madness.

>>35117969
I wish I could play as a guy in Lost Word and I can gradually develop romantic relationships with the 2hus. They should have added a mechanic like that.

>>35118112
I feel like that would be breaking the comfy friendship feeling the game has.

>>35118112
That would ruin the game for me, and dont get me wrong, I love my 2hus too

>>35117969
Thanks. I was surprised to see this thread and realize someone else felt the way I did...everything feels so nice and welcoming which is a nice change compared to the world we actually live in. There's so much cruelty and ugliness out there, people can do heinously evil things to each other and not even care.

I almost cried when Remilia praised Meiling for doing her best during the event. I put Dai on my home screen because of her positive attitude and her desire to help everyone, it was nice when she said Cirno and Sunny are her dear friends and that I was also dear to her. I don't know why this particular game gets me emotional, I don't even like gacha, but the writing is very nice.

>>35118112
I wouldn't like that at all, there are plenty of Touhou dating sims or doujinshi with men in it already, and I've never enjoyed reading any of it. If there has to be a player character, I like that they force you to be a girl, it feels like you fit in with being their friend well.

>>35118952
>there are plenty of Touhou dating sims
Can you link a few? I know of eratoho but what else?

>>35118952
I completely agree with you, the writting is so nice that it makes me feel really happy, I hope I'm able to befriend a fairy or someone like Alice/Yuyuko soon because of how nice they are.
I'm glad I'm not alone

>>35121266
You're so cute man I just wanna give you a hug so you're happy

>>35121285
Thank you, I love hugs even though I rarely get any, I'd hug you too, firmly so that you know you're not alone.

You're all weird and stinky!

>>35090113
Post your chart.

>>35116743
No thanks, I'd been a catholic for the first 20 years of my life and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

>>35121572
Yea as someone who was sent to Sunday school... I can relate to that feeling

>>35121285
>>35121402
now kiss

>>35090113
Other Anons might have recommend this but you should learn to lucid dream, it aint the real thing but its damn close

>>35122675
Is it really worth it? I feel like I'd grow lazy and want to sleep all day, also I've always been afraid because I heard about people that couldn't do it well and ended up having nightmares, but still, all the touhou related dreams I have are great and make me super happy so I might learn how to lucid dream one day.

>>35121572
>>35121606
No problem, I was half joking anyway. I just thought the whole saint devotion we have kind of reminds me of a shallow interpretation of Touhou, e.g you could say Sakuya is the patron of maids, Cirno is the patron of ice, Ran is the patron of foxes and mothers, etc.

I'm from Gensokyo.

>>35109673
No, just seek the truth and embrace the science, you can reach gensokyo using tech

>>35128795
When is she coming back

>>35128795
Yumemi v Rikako when

>>35123451
I find it's pretty worth it, it takes awhile to learn how to do it but it's worth it in the end. If you do start to learn how you'll probably wake up from pure excitement thr first time you achieve lucidity but don't let that put you down it just means your making progress.

You can still have friendships with the 2hus but you have an option to choose your gender as male and then you'll have that mechanic implemented to fug the 2hus.

And then you can spend some of your crystals on dates and all that. It would be cool
