>>18290971Anon, take a look at the numberfag thread. I know it's filled with tribalism and shitposts, but there are actual data here and there. Long story short, fandeads have actually been rushing to buy shit tons of Rushia's merchs since, likely to show their supports (since I doubt whiteknights would have spent that much money). A lot of JP Fandeads in that WeLoveRushia tag showed that they bought her ring before and they are trusting, loving and supporting her.
I can't tell how it will be in the long term when it comes to Rushia's GFE game, but at least in short term, it has actually been beneficial for Rushia so far (financially at least)
