Welcome to Touhou community on lemmy.world.

Touhou Project is a series of shoot 'em up games created by ZUN. This game series has fostered a vibrant and imaginative fandom, giving rise to numerous fan-made creations such as music arrangements, illustrations, manga, anime, and conventions.

The Touhou universe primarily revolves around Gensokyo. Within Gensokyo, the canon games feature recurring main characters who resolve various incidents. These characters include Reimu Hakurei, a powerful miko, and Marisa Kirisame, a human magician.

Touhou characters are predominantly female and encompass a wide array of folkloric Japanese monsters coexisting within Gensokyo.

Somehow I forgot to post about it. Basically, there are AI generated pictures in th20, th19 had them too. I found out about that fact from this blogpost: https://chlio.net/blog/zun-slop/. TLDR; some peoples think that it isn't a big deal, because it's only backgrounds, but author thinks otherwise. It has interesting links like:

My apologies if that felt directed at you.

No, don't worry about it, I understood that it wasn't directly towards me. Even if it was I don't think you were mean or something. I mentioned it, because I thought I didn't make this post properly. It was also my mistake to skip that Bluesky thread because it has interesting facts about Touhou in general.

And thanks for your comment! That was interesting to read.
