Bring back the General Touhou Category
The Touhou Category got removed or renamed, removing it would be very detrimental to the community on twitch.
Thank you for letting us know about this! We’ve restored this category and fixed its followers. Sorry for the frustration!

Twitch being a bunch of real idiots by directing all touhou content to literally one of the worst touhou fangames in existence

Only Twitch would do something like changing an existing category to a different category and then making a new category to replace the already existing one.
What?
?????
Edit: Not to mention they are screwing other stuff up.
One category used to be "Lobotomy Corporation | Monster Management Simulation" and now it is just called "Corporation"
???

Doubt Twitch will do anything given their rampant apathy and incompetence, but I'll throw a vote on this anyway.

To anyone reading this twitch made a new touhou category but they botched it! They didn't migrate any of the followers! A new post has been put up explaining everything, vote on that instead! https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover-browsing-and-searching/suggestions/41463019-migrate-all-34k-followers-from-touhou-genso-rond

Wholeheartedly agree with the topic starter, once more.
General "Touhou" category was great for Twitch streamers, pretty much everyone was satisfied with it. Yet, by this renaming stuff, the future of Touhou community on Twitch is in danger, because, once again, it is difficult to find that, for some reason, general "Touhou" category is now renamed to a certain fangame. -

As developer of a big touhou Fangame, the removal of the touhou meta category is terrible for us.
Visibility for our game since its so niece is already quite low, but until now some people were able to find it since it was streamed in the general touhou category. Now the category doesn't exist anymore and I don't think for our Fangame even exists a category. As a result, no one stumbles across a random touhou streamer playing it anymore.Please bring back the general touhou meta category.

This directly follows on from this post and was created in co-operation: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310210-discover-browsing-and-searching/suggestions/41458486-bring-back-the-general-touhou-category
Firstly we have noticed you've made a new touhou category, you've even migrated all the existing highlights, vods and clips etc to it as well. We have also noticed the new entry for touhou on IGDB, all this is great. However crucial elements have been missed and these are having extremely damaging effects on the touhou community, even moreso than before.
This all stems from the 34k+ followers that have been fairly accrued since 2014 not being carried over from the incorrectly named "Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet" to the newly created "Touhou" category. This has demoralised and confused the community as a large part of their collective effort has now been unceremoniously thrown out for no good reason. This decision has left single unpopular game with an undeserved and inflated follower count.
We must stress that the current "Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet" category was previously the general "Touhou" category before the recent game database mixups. As such we believe as a community our rightful follower count and therefore our entire community should be automatically carried over to the new "Touhou" category. Part of our audience does not know where touhou streams are anymore, they are confused and sad. Please make sure to re-read this carefully and understand what we are saying here, it is the by far the most important part of this post.
We also appreciate that as streamers find out about this new category their viewers will also find out when they stream, however this does not mean we should lose our existing discoverability. The new category does not show at the top of search suggestions like the old one did amongst other minor issues. These would all be fixed by migrating our followers.
Finally the original "Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet" category from before the database mixups was almost never used by the community, people streamed that game to "Touhou" instead. As a result "Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet" did not have a significant follower count (sub 100 followers) as the audience for that game was already part of the general "Touhou" category upon it's release in 2016, 2 years after the creation of the general "Touhou" category. Therefore no community is lost upon migrating followers in the way I've described, they are instead being moved to the correct place.
For the reasons above we believe migrating the followers as described is absolutely essential to the touhou community on twitch, or taking equivalent actions which sees our rightfully gained followers and discoverability preserved. -

The general Touhou category, as it was, was an amazing place to find smaller streamers playing one of the hundreds if not thousands of Touhou games and fangames, and one that I and many others used on a daily basis. As someone who knows the names of all the official games, it's hard enough to have to check all of the ~20 individual categories to see if anyone is streaming Touhou, and if someone is new to the community and isn't yet familiar with all the games, this would be all but impossible. This would likely lead to the collapse of the Touhou community on Twitch.
To be clear, the category we are talking about has ~34k followers, and is currently called "Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet", which is the name of a fangame which has nothing to do with the official series. Please rename this category back to "Touhou", and make it available to stream under again. Thank you for your understanding.

The Touhou community, while niche, vastly benefits from having a consolidated community given the vast amount of games included within the series.
In order for viewers to find new content creators, a general category (i.e. "Touhou") is a great resource given the similarities within the titles while also allowing smaller channels to reach a greater audience. Having each title segregated as it is now does nothing but fragment the community and make finding streamers more difficult. -
Klibero commented
why they felt the need to change it? It was perfectly fine before
Now you need to follow 20+ games with all similar gameplay for no reason -

Hope they bring this back

The removal of such a category for a doujin-based game series that actively needs a fanbase to continue to push it further and further only harms the general community.
Bring back this category please. There are many Touhou games, but there are many, many, MANY more Touhou fangames.

Hello, please bring Touhou back as a category, it hurts streamers when they have to stream under certain Touhou games instead as the category as a whole, you did the opposite with jackbox so why the **** do it with this?
