12th Touhou Series Popularity Contest!
Jeremie:
It's probably a combination of things that doesn't cause her to be popular among certain parts of the fanbase. The series has so much appeal in many ways so it's going to split things right off the bat. I like to joke about older character being at an instant disadvantage since they're not considered as cute but that could be possible. I also don't remember her having any huge meme. I haven't been following videos as much as I used to when I was new to the series but it's also possible she doesn't show into a very popular video or something that gives her a lot of mass appeal. The more appeal a character has to a mass audience, the more they'll get popular. EOSD regardless of it's age still gets a lot of content and it's also combined with nostalgia so it will continue to keep it's appeal to a lot of those fans in the first place.
That and I'm pretty sure it's been brought up but there's quite a limited amount of fans who reads print works or side materials (Although Renko seems quite popular for a reason that escapes me except for some of her lines being amusing) and just have their preferences dictated by how cute a character is.

Whoops... I guess that Twitter post isn't the same as the actual results... My bad. :blush:

It's similar to some extent, though.

I believe you'll find that Mamizou looks really cool and badass in her human disguise clothes. I could take or leave her original/fighting game designs though.
Kilgamayan:
I actually liked her the most (or disliked her the least, perhaps) in HM. Her TD design is drab at best and the book designs don't do anything for me at all.
Mamzoop just has a really punchable face for some reason. I can't think of a better way to describe it. (I don't even want to punch her in the face. It's just that her face is very punchable.)
