i hate anime popularity polls because they always confound me that people randomly vote worse characters over better ones (I don't recognize some of these people and I'm pretty sure they're from the irrelevant films)...
but I will say nothing on this list pisses me off even 1% as much as the JJK one, so at least there's that. Here I just rolled my eyes like normal, JJK popularity polls make me think we need a real culling game

| @SoulessAnime Why does it irritate you that the main characters are in the top positions? It's rather always easy to guess who will win. Some places are strange, but it is people's choice and there is no reason to be upset. This is just a popularity ranking XD |

idc about the main characters that much, that contributed to the eye rolls, but it doesn't make me feel weird. I meant moreso people like Dabi and Hawks being top 10 with Twice down at 31. Or someone like Kirishima above Twice, Overhaul, Stain, and Mirko.
The JJK one actively pisses me off (hence saying this one isn't even 1% as aggravating) because somehow fucking Naoya was top 10 twice in a row and Maki didn't make it either time. Just pure sexism mixed with horny, but definitely mostly sexism considering Toji also being so much more loved than Maki who actually got a full (arguably best) arc dedicated to her
| @SoulessAnime I suspect that in the case of Naoya it's mostly just jokes, and even if it's not, you can like a bad guy and his creations. Naoya has cool powers, design, someone may like how much of an asshole he is and how he was written. Toji is well written, and although I love Maki, at the end of the series she had some stupid actions, or rather texts. For example, if there was a popularity ranking, I don't know,from Berserk, I would give it a high rating for Griffith because he is a well-written villain. I definitely wouldn't put him at the end just because his bad. |

Naoya was literally written with the specific use of making Maki a better written character though and after Perfect Preparation he popped into the top 10 and she still hadnt.
A lot of Japan legitimately loves him, (and so do a bunch of incels on Twitter, but that's obvious).
If you think Popularity is always good and true though and never had to do with misogyny, then explain to me how Monoma is a better written and more explored character than Uraraka or Toga (and again, if a good villain means they're high up and later writing affects it that much then why are Shigaraki and Dabi top 10 despite having absolutely ass endings while Toga's character and ending was actually interesting)
btw I wrote all that as someone who has both Monoma and Shigaraki in my top 10 (Also Toga. Definitely not Dabi though, bro had one single interesting moment that carried his entire fanbase)
| @SoulessAnime I haven't written anywhere that popularity is always good and true though and never had to do with misogyny. I don't know where you got that from. People vote however they want and nothing will change that. Everyone has their own taste. For example, I hate Toga and the fact that at the end of the series the author began to whitewash this murderess and madwoman so much because of the character of Uraraka. It's their ''you're sweet, let's talk about love, you're not bad'' blehhh |

I don't care what any one says, I'm just glad My boy Monoma made it to Top 10 because I genuinely thought that I was the only one who loved him but guess not 🗿✊
| @Hassaan69 Same. I like him, but wasn't expecting him to end up on top 10 - getting more votes than characters like All Might, or even Hitoshi. |
