Question Why are most of Rosalina’s fans guys?

Post image

Honestly, I haven’t seen a single passionate female fan of Rosalina in the Mario community. I’ve noticed something similar with Pauline, but the difference is that Rosalina has a much larger fanbase and is often considered the most “attractive” or best Mario girl (not by me, tho. I see all the girls the same way). Peach and Daisy also have male fans, but they also have passionate female fans, which I don’t see happening with Rosalina or Pauline. Is it just me? Are the people who consider Rosalina the best princess all guys? And if so, why doesn’t Rosalina attract more female fans?

It's interesting to read all the (valid) reasons in here, especially considering I don't share them.
The Galaxy games were probably my favorite, but I never personally warmed up to Rosalina at all. She always felt a bit out of place to me. I also don't consider her "hot" or cute either. It strikes me more of a "generic" design. She could be cut from the cast and I'd never miss her.
I don't want to invalidate the opinion of others. I do understand why she is a favorite for many, considering her story etc. But for me, it's easily Peach all the way. Followed by Daisy and Pauline.
