Steam is completely irrelevant. Even when Steam was around, Zun was actively against publishing his works on it until very recently. It's not really a primary vehicle for Japanese self-started games either from what I know and Touhou 16 being published on Steam was for the benefit of Western audiences and completely unnecessary in terms of spreading the word.

Just to comment cause I don't think it becoming a success "before Steam was a thing" is the most impressive thing related to that, but rather that Touhou never needed to depend on formalized distribution platforms.

Also those dumb bows are the defining characteristics of all Touhou characters. Can't have a Touhou character without a hat or bow.

I've blacklisted Touhou doujins because they're everywhere, I don't understand the franchise, and the art is so bizarre and I don't like it.

Wikipedia is a wonderful thing, especially when you want to understand something and not sound like a child complaining about it.

Chika's proportions are making my head hurt.

adora just checking her tail out

^ The ways are called ears...SMH.

I appreciate the enthusiasm shown here.

LOL, those eyes!

That's a much better way to put it, yeah. Thanks for specifying.

Haachama approves.

Good prospects, a cheery attitude and fingers in every pie. This girl's gonna go far.

Congratulations! You're today's winner of "The Internet."

Horses like it rough. I wonder what Taiyaki thinks of aunt-niece incest.

Comfy

^I have a lot of hair and decent-sized ears that hold them in place and they STILL fall off. And I will not wear a chain cause having things on my nech is annoying

Gudako got wet in more ways than one.

^Yes, make sure to always wear protection

For the person with the raid shadow legends sponsor: thank you

^^^ Ehh, Kiara actually said that she doesn’t love Pekora that way. So, she still doesn’t have a harem.

No social distancing here

Why am I always attracted to a pair of blond hair x black hair? (ﾟ∀ﾟ)??

^^You're probably never gonna see this but it is a reference to a scene on the anime, Canaan tied her like that to prevent her from following her into danger, Maria herself even said she could just break the string, but the string had a lot of emotional value to her and Canaan knew she wouldn't break it @mapikopiko
