Doujin works organically grew underground before the internet era. I think the sole reason that doujin work is now somehow tolerated is that they're not minority anymore. They're big enough to gain public acknowledgement, but if a similar activity is attempted today by a much smaller group, they would be crushed by the public. It sucks to be a minority in Japan.
