Yuugi is pretty popular among /jp/ and any American fans (very small percentage of Americans), so that would make me think she is somewhat popular in Japan too. She has a lot of doujins too; comical, fighting, and sexual.

Yet there aren't any Figs of Yuugi, which makes me think she doesn't have a very big fan base or at least a loyal one.

I thought this might be the appropriate place to discuss this and ask about the subject.

People who claim to be fans and still talk shit about Touhous are the worst

In regards of the thread topic, I take a lot of comfort in knowing that even some of the most unappreciated Touhou characters have their dedicated fans that keep supporting them. I'm often amazed by the dedication of Touhou fans in general.

It doesn't seem like popularity decides who gets a fig and who doesn't, either

You can be a fan of something without liking it in it's entirety, If /sp/ liked football they don't have to like the Broncos because they're a shit team but people from Colorado or even Denver might like them because that's "their" team, many people like certain touhous because it was the best boss fight for them, most memorable dialogue, etc. so of course they're are people who are dedicated to a certain touhou

but unfortunately for you poor sobs it's these shit characters. ( minus Minoriko she's pretty cool)
