I was thinking about it earlier - I'd gotten into an exchange with Alex where he had basically assailed my cheery mood with his baseless pessimism by claiming the end of Touhou was nearing.
First off, if its official closure nears, who cares?
Second off, fans keep things alive - the ingenuity and devotion of fandom has kept Arcanum, Dark Reign, and a countless variety of other short-lived and splendid franchises alive. Even OK Soda.
He accused me of global indifference and I'd simply said that I have convictions about things beyond the realm of first-world concern.
I got to thinking, though, as I'd mentioned, and it had dawned on me that I cannot lose an intellectual dispute. I either win, or I learn by means of graceful volition.
The only unsatisfactory outcome is a stalemate where nothing is learned.

man do i hate that. after a while i think closure becomes necessary, to keep the good stuff intact without running a series into the ground (lol, land before time).
ReplyDeleteand fans will always keep shit awesome. touhou has such a widespread fanbase that there's no possible way for it to die out entirely just because it's "over". c:
either way though, you go about arguments and disputes very maturely. some people just refuse to learn from them and will block out the opposing side's words just to hear "i'm right you're wrong i'm right you're wrong i'm right you're wrong" inside of their own heads, forever. ~-~
