I think your being hyperbolic. The fandom is stagnating maybe declining and unless a game (official or fanmade) really takes off, I don't think its going to last another 20 or even 10 years, but its far from dead or dying.

That is a comment I greatly agree. One thing is for sure, that game that could take off won't come out by ZUN himself. At least not unless he joins forces with a correct new blood. Tohou Cannonball was a failure but maybe some other new game could do it. Another thing to consider is fandoms multiply and diversify in numbers as time goes on. It's not like in the past when your classmates played or were interested on the same games as you. Today is really common everyone play/read/hear whatever you don't, so long lasting fandoms shrink too.
Touhou is a lifestyle, a way of being and enjoying, touhou is not just zun's creations, touhou is the core of all of our joy anger sadness and confusion in life, touhou will NEVER die only evolve.
Its the best communication system since the Silk Roads and radio towers
Cuz it's not the internets fault. it is like any invention, a victim to human nature, to use the most positive things and exploit it . in both bad ways. And good ways (mostly bad but you get what i mean)
Remember when social planners thought that increased access to information would cure human ignorance? All the world's knowledge literally at our fingertips, and 50 percent of the internet's bandwidth goes to Facebook and TikTok and the like... and another forty goes to porn.
Some piece context: For April Fools, Dragon Quest X had an event where players were in a scenario like they were a high school sports team on a trip and got to do pillow fights with monsters at night. Occasionally, Sidoh would appear dressed like a P.E. teacher telling everyone to shut up before leaving.
Not a Civic but the late DC5 Honda Integra from 2004 to 2006. That stage of the generation lost the little oval bumps in the headlights, making them flush. The Civic Coupe rear quarter windows on the 7th generation (2001 to 2005) didn't have the pull up from the beltline to meet at a point at the lower half of the C-pillar. They remained flat with the rear half of the window following the curve of the C-pillar. 8th generation coupes rear quarters follow a similar shape as the 7th, but the headlights are narrow.
