Has this ever happened to you?
Normalfags learn about your favorite niche franchise and ruins the fanbase
Ryan James
Zachary Powell
yes look at what happened to Zig Forums and Zig Forums now.
James Hernandez
No, because my favorite niche franchises are too niche to have fanbases.
Zachary Nguyen
I always love seeing touhoupedos seethe
Landon Watson
>gatekeeping
Why do people get angry when other people enjoy something? You should be glad people appreciate even if they are “fake” fans, grow up.
Austin Morris
Everything I love gets destroyed
Elijah Brooks
I am the casual ;)
Henry Campbell
>I've been getting into Touhou recently Mr White
>Wow, glad to hear that Jesse, which game is your favorite?
>There are games?

>now thinks the "emergency food" meme is sexual
Fucking hate normalfags.
Nathaniel Flores
>nooo haha you can't expect people to adhere to standards set by the community haha just be inclusive bro :)
the issue is that normalfags are somehow more retarded than social retards when it comes to niche things. if they could just mesh well with the preexisting community that i already liked, i would have no issue.
Joseph Sanders
If your fandom cannot exist properly once new people join, then it never was a fandom to begim with. Likewise if you can't stomach a thing because of it's fandom, then you're a weak-willed bitch who won't enjoy anything unless it goes through 10 filters.
Elijah Cooper
Nope and it never ever will.
Grayson King
Videogames in general
Hudson Campbell
Look at th site, look at internet in general.
Smartphones were a mistake.
Logan Morris
Requesting the "Zig Forums nation immigration map" meme for this user.
Aaron Brown
this. start fucking gatekeeping bros.
Tyler Carter
Its fine at first but within 2 iterations whatever the franchise is almost always becomes dogshit you will learn soon enough zoomie
Cooper Cook
retard, look at what the persona fandom has become
people are LARPing the phantom thieves are real and SMT/ all other persona games don't exist
or how MonHun is now mostly female hunters playing dress up now
Jayden Rivera
its not that they "learn" about it
its pushed to them as a product, like it was pushed to you before them
you are just no longer a target of vidya, they are
Aiden Wilson
If you can't understand why gatekeeping is good you are the reason why it exists, is that simple.
Levi Gonzalez
Yep. Not telling you which one though. Don't need Zig Forumsirgins in there as well as normalfags
Kayden Taylor
Does Dead Rising count?
Gabriel King
Touhou is for normalfags and is the Japanese version of MLP.
Evan Murphy
touhou is a very fandom oriented series thou
Samuel Jackson
Yeah, it happened with Touhou in the early 2000s when you people found out about it.
Jordan Bell
Yes. And I still got nightmares with the eventual STALKER 2 and another Thief reboot.
Zachary Sullivan
It's not the fact that other people are enjoying something. It's because there's always the risk of secondaries coming in who do not take the series seriously and start parroting bullshit they heard and change the series due to it. This not only harms the community and original fans but also any new fans because they fed bullshit by the secondaries in a vicious cycle until nothing of the original remains.
Levi Young
it seems awfully late to be complaining about touhou becoming popular. I remember Touhou related videos were all over early youtube, so it has been relatively "mainstream" in the west since like 2007
Jaxson Hill
Brody Rodriguez
not very niche but this has happened to almost every good vidya franchise in the last 10+ years.
WoW after south park
Dark souls after youtubers
Minecraft after youtubers
Ethan Rivera
Almost. Yakuza is still safe for the most part.
Jason Perry
Somewhat.
Josiah Reyes
*ruins your niche series*
Jackson Williams
>Why do people get angry when other people enjoy something?
the problem is that not everyone enjoys it, so they change things so more people can enjoy it at the expense of the people who originally enjoyed it
Tyler Gray
No because they're enjoying it the wrong way.
Mason Barnes
Yakuza 0 being on PC says hi.
Austin Collins
It happens with Bands a LOT sadly
Jace Hernandez
Something has to be good in order for it to be ruined
Brody Thomas
LoL. I want to go back to playing with sweaty basement dwelling neckbeard tryhards instead of these boosted shit fucks and their faggot new kpop champions literally catered to them.
Jace Morales
Monster hunter, Got in during Generations, wish i got in sooner, after world it looks like it's going to shit. hope rise takes more stuff from old world, even if the colors are faded, and item restock is back.
Samuel Cook
If someone who's not ME knows some franchise, it's not obscure
Jack Cruz
Monster Hunter got the worst of it once Tri released and the Nintendo fanbase plagued the series.
Owen Scott
Yes.
The Persona fanbase was always shit, but it became even more shit after 4 and 5.
Now the SMT fanbase is being infected by the same bullshit because of P5 attracting a massive new audience that is now learning about SMT through V.
Luis Lewis
vidya wasn't enough to cause me a nerd rage but music did, tfw my teacher and I share the same taste
Gabriel Miller
Furries are a good case of what happens when you dont gatekeep
Oliver Richardson
MH seems to be a special case, either Capcom goes Traditional=Nintendo World=multiplat way or ditches the jap market, because they did not like World.
Honestly I'm good with the first scenario.
