Fumos are the worst thing to ever happen to the Touhou fandom. I'm friends with one guy that's also a a fan so I'm always eager to meet more people who are also into Touhou. But whenever I meet someone it's always the "I just like the funny ice fairy fumos" crowd.
I won't gatekeep regarding these people as "fans" since it's ultimately not my business, and this sort of half-informed fascination is how a lot of people are introduced to the series (speaking from my personal experience). But getting excited thinking I might have someone to express my fixations with only for them to regurgitate some variation of fumo caption meme with cartoon sound effects is beyond annoying.
