Okay, I am getting tired of seeing Touhou in my Pokemon (and I am guessing some people don't like everything else in their Touhou). But I am wondering, what exactly is Touhou? I don't even find the wikipedia page to be clear about it. Can someone who IS a Touhou fan have a clearer answer.
You know, this is a dangerous rabbit hole you're peering over. I've seen many a person start the whole "Damnit, I'm sick of this touhou mixed with XXXXXX series!" and then admit they never touched the touhou series.
Then they check it out.
Often times, those people just...become one of the fold. May you be more fortunate.
I don't understand what you're confused about NEZettel. How did the Touhou Wiki not explain it? Unless you ment you only saw the Danbooru Wiki on touhou. http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki
To put it in nut shell, it's just an original doujin game series made by ZUN that got super popular amongsts Doujin Artists. And ZUN actively encourages people to do whatever the hell they want to do with the series. Yes there is canon material in the games as well as canon material not in game form such as Manga and even a light novel series by ZUN. But only for those that care about it. There are plenty of Doujin artists that claim never to even touch the games, but said "I liked how character XX was potrayed in fanon, so I rolled with it." Thats probably the minimum you need to know.

Many scholars have pondered over this over a long time!
...ahem! To get this out of the way, it is not an anime, its a vertical bullet hell game, or "Shmup" if you prefer, (kinda like Esp.Ra.De. but less depressing, and less machines...)

I am reminded of of Half-Life's immense modding scene.

And other times they just back away in disgust and try to live with the endless cackling of the fanboys.
