What do you think doujins are?

They are just self-published works, nothing more. Yes, some are NSFW, but is it different to self-published stories elsewhere? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doujinshi

The ask was for examples to niche content.

The world of doujinshis is a subculture, and therefore a niche. No value judgment made, but it's kinda similar to asking for a niche art style and getting upset when someone says "pixel art" in a world of live action and photorealistic CGI.

I'm just like, "do you want niche, or taboo? It's already niche."

Explain your flags, there is nothing incorrect about doujins being niche content. Is this place no better than Reddit?
