Cirno has been ranked #23 in terms of popularity for the past 2 polls, so why is Cirno posted the most out of any Touhou on 4chan? I refuse to believe that EVERY Cirno thread was started by KoG.

A more interesting question is who is the most popular touhou on /jp/. My money is on Okuu or Sanae.

Sanae is a meme more than popular, people call her a slut in order to enrage her fans and laugh at their smartass reactions.

I choose Okuu because she's (so far) flawless. Not in the mary sue terms but in the character-perfection achievement.

Actually, last time I checked there was some guy picking up results from some polls using the top 5 in a list, Okuu was on top with Sakuya being close aswell. I wouldn't necessarily consider that being representative of the majority of /jp/, however.

It was just a single thread of some guys doing some poll about favorite Touhous on some site. Some guy basically gave a score for how popular each Touhou was based on every person's top 5. In the thread, Okuu came on top. However, due to certain variables, I wouldn't say it's indicative of all of /jp/ and is flawed in quite a few ways admittedly. You'd probably need an entirely different kind of poll to figure out which character is most popular.

Really with the userbase of /jp/ you can never really find out the true favorite Touhou.

It's impossible to determine it, there's no way to know /jp/'s population, population at the time of the poll, samefaggery, etc. Even if one uses a way (eg: a poll site) of 1 IP per vote, it'd still be unaccurate. Not even by the ''number of threads'' of a character, since making those is one click away and filling them with posts is simple as well. I could go ahead and make 20 Reisen threads one right after another one hits the image limit and claim it's reason enough that /jp/'s favourite is Reisen just like that.

>> No.7161159

>>7161156

Yes, like I said it's quite flawed, especially there are characters here that are quite popular yet don't get mentioned often. Perhaps we'll never know, and maybe it's better if we don't.

I always thought it's better for characters to have just a monthly or one every 3 weeks thread, it shows better the general preference instead of being abused, off the top of my head is Reimu and way more commonly Okuu.

It would be near impossible to gather the data necessary to find "/jp/'s favorite Touhou" simply because of the sheer volume of people that would contribute to such a study either more than or less than exactly once.

Not to mention all of the other mitigating factors. What exactly defines someone as part of /jp/, anyway?

The best that can be done to estimate is monitoring the flow of threads and opinions, like the Tohosort lists that get posted every so often. Based on those, I'd also say that Utusho is a good guess for near the top. She would make sense from a character perspective as well, since she runs several gamuts of appeal; from innocent loli to rude sex symbol, from brainless klutz to raging inferno, from a faithful pet crow to a harbinger of genocide.

She is.

Even though there may be issues such as mistagging or lack of tagging (eg: group pictures), the difference of 13000 and 14000 images compared to the second and third (Marisa and Reimu) is way too big to not be taken into account.

Read >>7161156 to see why that can be horribly flawed as well, more than other factors even.

Although I do agree that Okuu is the preferred due to there never ever being kind of unlikable fault attributed towards her in the span of since SA came out, and it's very doubtable that every post since then could have been done by the same person.

>> No.7161206

Can't we just agree that /jp/ is not a hivemind and that it in the end all comes down to opinions?

When I mean "monitor the flow" I mean over the course of several months, if not a few years. And even then, yes, it wouldn't be the most accurate thing in the world.

But the only way you would ever get such information is by polling the /jp/ audience in some capacity, so whatever you do is going to be inaccurate. Might as well try to reduce the inaccuracy as best you can by taking millions of samples, such as by monitoring /jp/ for a very long time.
