Why is Touhou such a poster child for bullet hell?

The fans are what make TH so popular.

This is a complete tautology. You're as if you're saying "It's popular because it's popular" or "It has fans because it has fans."

Not completely - obviously a lot of Touhou stuff is fan-made, and as people have pointed out, that stuff is popular. So it's not tautological so much as virulent and evolving.

Nevertheless, it's pretty much true, in the case of Touhou.

No idea why this was bumped twice in order to try to fight and explain the complete obvious again. I PM people for old posts; they know. I love the "quote this post" PM button.

I think a better way to put it is that the fanbase is so devoted that they do a bunch of free promo work and content creation, thereby increasing the fanbase.
