Phenomena between character popularity and fandom

[Tengukami]

I'm getting the wierdest deja vu right now.

I can completely understand being puzzled by why some characters are as popular as they are, sure. But you can't really ascribe motivations on people for their reasons for liking a character, and I think Sanae is a great example to illustrate this. There's no shortage of porn and memery about her, but there's also no shortage of presence, dialogue, and importance in several stories, so it makes it kinda impossible to say "they only like her for the Sanae Is A Slut memes".

What would be interesting is (if this hasn't been done already) if available data from surveys were organized in such a way that a respondent's character rankings were paired with their hentai consumption, how many of the official works they have read, and what games they have played. I know this data already exists; I just think it would be interesting to see just how many people like a particular Gensokyan based on hentai depictions. Even then it might still be difficult to quantify.

shit, not visiting for a day and i suddenly feel like not following this anymore
Actually, i think the number of votes is what's really important, not just rank.
me myself, i come to like the Prismriver sisters because "Ghostly Band - Phantom Ensemble"
and liked "Dark Side of Fate" & "bla bla too long - Dark road" beacuse Hina
Raiko & Pristine Beat instant like

Anyway, please refrain from stating your opinion about "this swine should rank higher than that bitch because *some unpleasant deragatory opinion*" or something like that, here i was just asking why particular character achieved particular number of votes in not everyday manner, fandom antics or not, not why people should vote this character instead of that other character.
Everyone has their types, there might be some who are into cuddling in a bucket(lolol), or some who are really into eyes, more eyes more stare sex, but no one can say unconsciousness play or explosive reflective grunts is the best, simply cant. But if u cant help it, please do so in other place.
If everyone is cool like me then lets chill together, and lets start ritual to summon Yuki Onna while we're at it.

But you are free to talk shit about the hentai doujins itself tho, but not the characters featured in them, you talked shit about the girls(i dont really care about the dudes), i'll talk shit back at your existence, i watch you. *points two finger (with extended arm)*
Something like "Yeah, pink haired girl who are eating(or putting something in their mouth) are sexy as fuck, man" is okay'ish i guess

edit : forgot, i was half kidding about the ero doujin stuff, i really dont know & dont care about that.

Glad to see Yuuka always do so well on popularity polls, she deserves the fandom and praise.
