>>56559085>to expand on this, there is the whole "cookie" side of Touhou fandom that is literally fans circlejerking over their own interpretations of characters and their psuedo-OCs.Yeah whole sub-culture is extremely fucking weird and oddly exist as a mostly japanese thing
Like you'll see picture of what you assume is Nazrin, and go "cute Nazrin fanart"
And then someone will jump on you say "That's not Nazrin it's NM5STS" or some shit,
and you realize that it's an acronym for a NND user who basically facelifted ZUN's design for their own weird OC
The best western analogy I can think for Cookie shit is maybe Sonic OCs, but even then Sonic fans just make their own look-a-likes rather than just literally taking an already existing design
