I learned about it through word of mouth when I was looking for new games to play and I got pointed to EraTW, a text eroge with just about every damn 2hu. It's not the first time I've "seen" or "heard" Touhou as everyone on the internet has heard a song or seen an image from it at some point, but actual awareness of it only came after having it pointed out. From there it was a very rapid spiral down the rabbit hole as I met with those characters in game and wanted to know more than what their dialogue (or lack thereof let's be real) told me. What caught me more than anything was that it was so unlike other settings like Kancole or Fate because of that good old doujin spirit, and with how much of it is based off of mythology it's damn near a doujin itself. It's not trying to sell you anything. The mythology part is really cool too, it's part of that same rabbit hole where learning about the basis of things lets you understand and appreciate it more. Like learning about trigrams and realizing that the ones on Yukari's design actually meant something profound about her whole personality. You find out why ZUN drew them like that.
