Someone wanna explain why the obscure and unimportant characters always amass a sizable fan following?

Pic related.

Because they're fucking awesome.

But that's Rider in your image.

Because the recieve next to no development, and thus are easier to project our fantasies onto them because they don't have much in the way of canon to fight back against.

Isn't it sad?

Because they're very pretty

Because they receive the love in fan works that they never received from their creators. They remind us so much of ourselves: the discarded, the unappreciated.

Isn't it sad, anonymous?

How is that pic related? Medusa is ALWAYS relevant.

This combined with the fact that there will always be a lot of people who like obscure things just because they're obscure and not as popular.

I am the sole fanbase of this obscure and unimportant character. ;_;

Rider is neither obscure nor unimportant in FSN. That one girl from the Archery club, that's a good pic related because she has shitton of fanart.
