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!

Please bring it back, the Touhou community is one of the best game communities I've ever been in.

Touhou gaming is dummy thicc with how many official and fan made games there are, it NEEDS a general category. It'd be ridiculous to have to make a category for every single one.

I would like for the Touhou category to be brought back to the Twitch database, because for as niche as the Touhou games themselves are, this is where the main entities of Touhou usually do their streams through that category. I'm personally not as invested in the games themselves as most of the community are, but I have checked out a small variety of very chill people there, and it would be rather unfortunate for this category to stay dead, considering the inconvenience of removing a generalized category. Its also more than just a game series to their more hardcore fans, but rather its own artform, if that makes sense.
It would also be more practical for there to be a generalized category given how it would be far too difficult to keep together a community when there are so many Touhou main games and fangames out there.
I've loved the series since 2014 and it would be terribly unfortunate if the series just turned even more niche given the split this now causes. So bringing back this general Touhou category would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your understanding.

I stream the legit Touhou games and if they take that tag away, they're taking away the only thing I like streaming. Thus making it even harder for me to gain followers here again. They're also making it harder for Touhou to grow. So thanks Twitch for being stupid yet again.

As someone with an audience who is new but open to learning about Touhou Project, this category is so important to the community. Please reconsider bringing back the Touhou cateogry so I can redirect my viewers who want to see more Touhou streams!

There's an unbelievable amount of games streamed under Touhou that all pertain to the series. These games would otherwise not have a place on Twitch, making them even more niche than they already are. Touhou general is necessary and must be restored.

Touhou is a doujin game series whose fan community has a very organic relationship with the main series that means that the two mix and intertwine very freely. This is comparable to the game I Wanna Be the Guy and the incredible amount of fangames made for it on websites like delicious-fruit, which are streamed under the I Wanna Be the Guy category as an umbrella. Removing the general Touhou category removes the appropriate category for a number of fangames, and many of these games are so obscure that it would be highly difficult for a small streamer playing them to be seen or for Touhou fans to discover them. It is cumbersome to look through each individual Touhou game category to find all the Touhou games being streamed. Please let us congregate together in a simple way so we can enjoy being a community together on Twitch like the I Wanna Be the Guy fangame community, the broader STG/Shmups community, etc.

Please bring it back, most people use this category instead of the individual ones which are misleading to new people and even people that play the series every day.

This absolutely needs to exist. While a somewhat niche game series, a lack of category makes it even harder for fans of the series and its many fangames to find the content they're looking for. It makes it difficult for streamers who love and support the series to be discovered while streaming these games.

With ZUN's lenient fangame policy and Touhou's massive creative community, there's hundreds, if not thousands, of Touhou games not accounted for in Twitch's directory. This is what the general Touhou category was for, where else would you stream those? Additionally, this was used by pretty much every Touhou streamer even for the Touhou games that are already in the directory, it was basically an umbrella for our streaming community.

Touhou has such an astronomical list of games AND fangames that it's extremely detrimental to anyone looking for Touhou-related content to remove the general Touhou category. It's a series with so many games, not each and every one has a category on Twitch, which can make finding Touhou-related content harder than it needs to be if the general Touhou category is removed.

There are significantly more Touhou games than are listed individually on twitch, which makes any streamer who wants to play an obscure fangame under the Touhou umbrella use this general category. Without it, these streamers are forced to stream with no game set, which can cripple their discovery. Many people (myself included) browse this category in order to find any streamers playing any type of Touhou game, as you can find any type of fangame under this umbrella, and it's great for the community. Removing this option is very detrimental to small streamers who are playing any type of touhou fangame, as it becomes significantly more difficult for an audience to find them. Please bring back the general Touhou category.

The Touhou series is so full of varied material that having all the games under one banner is the only thing that makes sense.
Changing it to Bullet Ballet is not only inaccurate, but is also one of *hundreds* of different games in the series. With so many options under different names, it's going to be IMPOSSIBLE to find new up and coming Touhou streamers, even worse when it comes to fan works that don't have a name in the database.
PLEASE fix this. -

Touhou is such a huge series with so many small indie games that it would be 100 times harder to find a Touhou streamer playing a specific touhou game

It's much easier to find and broadcast streams within the umbrella category as well as stream games that may not have a Twitch category due to obscurity.

Toe Hoe streamers are easily identifiable under one category and for new comers.
