** Fans often get Last Words confused with Last Spells, with fangames that misuse those terms feeding the problem. Both are terms that were coined in ''Imperishable Night'': in that game, a Last Spell is a bonus Spell Card a boss pulls out after her usual final spell if the time point requirement is met, whereas a Last Word is an unlockable Spell Card that isn't found in the main game, instead becoming available in the Spell Practice menu once the criteria to unlock it (which are different for each Last Word) are fulfilled. Often, a fangame where a boss pulls out one more Spell Card after the fight had already seemed over refers to this as a Last Word, when the more appropriate term would be Last Spell, and this confusion has spread into the overall fanbase.

* {{Woolseyism}}: Due to the nature of Japanese language, any form of translating the dialogue and such will likely run into language-based jokes and other peculiarites (though unlike most such games, the modern [=THCRAP=] patching systems allows for in-game translation notes in [=ZUN=]'s games), ranging from things that manage to work out more or less the same by chance, jokes that have to be somewhat altered due to the differences in how the language works (such as how Marisa's sentence in [=EoSD=] sounds like a flower's name), all the way to things that are simply untranslateable (like how in [=IaMP=] Remilia brings up that the Japanese word for vampire, 吸血鬼, can be literally read as "blood-sucking oni"). And that's of course just the English language translations; each extra language is basically rolling against the odds extra times.

** ''[[Manga/TouhouBougetsushou Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' will always be known within the fandom as the infamous storyline that introduced The Watatsuki sisters, [[TheScrappy an unlikeable]] pair of [[FantasticRacism Xenophobic]] InvincibleVillain. To make the matter worse, the narrative story even implied that Watatsuki sisters were '''not''' even in the wrong and they were within their rights to clap the main characters in a CurbstompBattle manner.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Yes, a gameplay example. Some fans dislike the gameplay of [[VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream the]] [[VideoGame/TouhouKaeidzukaPhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView versus]] [[VideoGame/TouhouJuuouenUnfinishedDreamOfAllLivingGhost shmups]], especially ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', enough to where while they acknowledge and appreciate the [[EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame story]], characters and [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic soundtrack]], they pretend the games themselves don't exist and exclude them from goals and challenges such as beating every game in the series.

** The term "incident" is often misused to refer to the plot of any game in the series, despite it having an actual definition as given by Reimu's article in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', with the events of some games not qualifying as incidents as a result. Specifically, an incident is an event that 1) affects Gensokyo at large, and 2) is of unknown cause at the time it occurs. To give two examples, the events of ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' are not an incident, as while the flying objects are initially of unknown origin, neither said objects nor the Palanquin Ship's trip to Makai actually affect Gensokyo in any meaningful way, and ''Yousei Daisensou ~ Touhou Sangetsusei'' meets neither condition, it's just a personal quarrel between a few fairies for clearly-defined reasons.
