@@ReesesBees IIRC they even had two flags; one beside bad apple wich was low-level defendet, and a 'Propper one' somewhere else that ... actualy looked decend most of the time. At this point I wholeheartedly pay my respect to the canadians; if everybody, including batman and his stepmoms retardet Chihuahua, is trying to shit on you "for the lulz", there is only so much you can do. The fact that it at least resembles the canadian flag at all time is quite an achievemetn, given the ammount of Flak directed to canada.

2hoe community: *playing Bad Apple on everything as always, and succeding* Canada: LEEEEEEAAAAAF

pikmin

The complexity of Canada's flag put to the challenge as its neighbors were: •the doom of music videos •the simplest video game logo ever. And they made the mistake of pissing off touhou by trying to kill reimu causing their already difficult flag to be constantly sabotaged. It was only when they embraced reimu that the trolling could stop and they could finally reach harmony. All the while osu! Just flexing on them by effortlessly changing color and even flipping upside down

Right

Pretty sure Touhou also made an agreement with Canada or something to help defend their leaf.

For most of this animation we had actually moved somewhere else on the canvas before getting griefed by a streamer and decided to move back to this original spot around when the provincial flags show up

Tbf it was a collaboration with alot of helping hands from multiple communities.

@@shaami8622 yeah, Osu! and Miku communities helped

Im proud that I belong in the Touhou Community, I love the games, fangames, fanmusic and the various of shenanigans like this. It is considered viable if it can play Bad Apple on it.

@@HyperVanilojust speaks more to how collaborative the community can be

Let's see: they translated all the touhou games to multiple languages, consistently make their own fangames on steam and itch, is at the center of some of the internet's most popular memes (Bad Apple, U.N. Owen was Her). Yup, absolutely terrifying.

​@@MCSorry Let's not forget the artistic community. There's several gigabytes of Touhou music remixes, similar levels of fanart, and quite a few comics. ZUN really started something amazing when he told the fandom "yeah, just go nuts, as long as you don't spoil the game's endings."

Let them cook

They’re afraid. Because if they mess with us we are coming back stronger.

@@SheckoVex If you are ever interested in Touhou music, you should definitely check out the games official sound tracks. I would recommend with Touhou 6 EoSD, Touhou 7 PCB, Touhou 8 IN, Touhou 10 MoF, Touhou 11 SA (I think it one of the strongest all around), Touhou 12 UFO, Touhou 14 DDC, Touhou 15 LoLK, Touhou 17 WBaWC (This track sounds much more "modern" with heavier usage of electric guitars while older games use more "traditional" instruments..?) If you dont have time, here is one track I think is nice and fun to get started with (people always like to hop to the boss music, but I think the more stage oriented tracks are just as strong): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcylg7R6tdXYnmQ.html&ab_channel=Louchan2 The track I recommended is from Touhou 12 Unidentified Fantastic Object Stage 4. Just a heads up, almost all touhou music from the games are great, but stage 4 and stage 5 themes are usually the strongest (the further you get into the game, usually the better). If you want something more recent from Zun, I recommend stage 4s theme from Touhou 17 WBaWC: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZyhqKSAp6nVdYE.html&ab_channel=Monaco
