>>15031327I assume you are a part of one of the largest groups - but also, coincidentially, those silent ones.
The waifu/antiwaifu shitstorms are vocal, yet they only encompass the fringe minority.
Most of the people already know how their team will look gender-wise and will not make it their point to lecture everyone about it.
Many people will pick a female Gardevoir to suit their theme.
Many, but far less, will pick a male Gardevoir if it happens to have a good composition of nature/abilities, reasoning that it will fare in battle just as fine as the female one. This group is also silent.
Less will make a female Gardevoir for fapping/waifu reasons and will make a mess on the internet over it.
Even less will pick a male Gardevoir to defend its rightful place as the alpha male of the family and will make a mess on the internet over it.
This is what made you believe that you're the only one.
