>>49056352>But he is definitely popular among fujos at least and according to the person who had sold that R18 Goh anthology at a con, the majority of the buyers were actually male. And that this doujin sold really well in general. On booth it sold out in less than three hours.Fucking Based
>To have a better picture of how popular Goh specifically is, we'd need an actual official popularity poll or proper official merch to see how quickly or not it sells out. I can reassure you though that the general public is much more neutral or positive about him than the dedicated-for-years fanbase bubble you're in right here lets you believe.Well there was this poll from 2020 where Goh did really good in it (Pokemon characters in general did good in it) he even was over Ash
