Alright, this was done in this general format due to the fact that you can only have two questions for a poll. (if you were wondering why it isn't in poll format) To start off, this is a general questionnaire of the current fanbase of the site's denizens. This is to get a basic understanding of what kinds of people are present here and how one views Touhou as of now. Some questions are limited, but others are open for responses depending on choices. You can give an explanation for each choice and question if you want to, as I'm interested in what you guys respond with. 1. When did you get into Touhou? A. Before Windows Era (PC-98) ~ 1997–2001 B. During the start of Windows Era (6, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 9.5) ~ 2002–2006 C. Second section of Windows Era (10, 10.5, 11, 12, 12.3, 12.5, 12.8, 13) ~ 2007–2012 D. Third Windows Era (13.5, 14, 14.3, 14.5, 15) ~ 2013–2016 E. Modern Era (15.5, 16, 16.5, 17) ~ 2017–2020 F. Present (17.5, 18, 18.5, 19) ~ 2021-2024 2. What made you first interested in Touhou? A. Primary works (Official games, music, manga, and art) B. Secondary works (fangames, music, manga, and art) C. Social influence (friends, family, and others) D. Other (Explain for this choice) 3. What made you stay with Touhou? This one is an open response since many people have different reasonings for staying within Touhou. 4. What level of fanbase do you like to interact with? A. Majority (Tumblr, Reddit, YouTube, Twitter, anything with a huge fanbase presence) B. Medium (Smaller end communities such as this site (MS), MOTK and a couple others) C. Small (Friends/friend groups, family, and others) 5. How familiar are you with Touhou lore and story? A. Quite a lot (Mainline games/Hiffu club, etc.) B. Average (only know about some character backstories and some story of games, but not to the point of remembering everything) C. None to little 6. Do you think Touhou is the hardest bullet-hell game? This one is open to response, as most people have different levels of playstyles and experiences with STGs. 7. Do you think Touhou Gacha harmed the franchise? This one is also open to response, as it can be viewed as both positive and negative depending on which side you are on. This is in general, though TLW might be the one that most are familiar with given its global prosperity. 8. Is piracy within Touhou good or bad? IKR, asking this question on a piracy site, but often times you can get interesting responses compared to crowds of people who care about moral projection. open response, but with leading questions. 1. It's good 2. It's bad 3. Other 9. How flanderized do you think Touhou characters are? If you don't know what "flanderization" is, it is the knowledge of a character whose complex traits are boiled down to oversimplified representations that represent the character in a static personality. (basically, they are very easily seen as X characters or "crazy") (This question encompasses every character.) A. 1–2 not flanderized at all B. 3–4 little bit C. 5–6 seared, but not charred D. 7–8, affecting their character E. 9-10 Everyone sees them as one way 10. Overall, which era(s) did you like/dislike the most? I am open to responses, basically asking which era of Touhou games you personally think is the best.
