Good to know!
Spoiler: I'm still gonna put down Rinnosuke and Marisa as my top vote regardless :V
the old guy:
Considering how shitty the opinions of the Touhou fandom are, i'm expecting to be disappointed with the results.

Yes because it's awful when someone likes a character for reasons that differ from your own. ::)

I disagree with the old guy's mindset in the sense that I find it way too harsh. Furthermore, this mindset would sort of means that every fanbases would be crap seeing how all popularity polls are heavily affected by things such as how well-known a character is (via official material, fan material, memes, videos, etc.), nostalgia, bias, appearance of a character, etc. and I think this is what's sort of funny about the popularity poll. Not funny in a mean-spirited way but... I think it's fair to say the Touhou fanbase is very creative. We got a lot of neat ideas and we're really good at putting our ideas into motion to make games, comics and all sorts of neat things. However, the Touhou popularity poll rarely changes in term of results which is a sort of funny "contradiction".
Anyway, it's a popularity poll and that sort of thing is just for fun and to collect information about the fanbase. It's neat to be able to vote and pick what we like and even if a favorite character, tune or work would be in like, dead last, it wouldn't alter that character in any way. There's no need to get upset about it. One should vote for what they like and take it easy. :V
Chill Observer:
The only thing I'm concerned about is some people who are voting might still misinterpret "partners for AoCF" as "shipping pairings in general", so we can expect to see some skewedness in that aspect.
Otherwise, I'm fine with how things are, really. You can't really control what the fandom prefers. Remember, every fan is different and has differing preferences. I like seeing the slight variations in polling results after each popularity contest, I find it quite interesting.
