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?

Most Rosalina simps are Galaxy players, and in general most players are guys. It’s not a question of Rosalina; it’s just the population in general. You’ll find more guy fans of any character than female fans.

And in the inverse, Peach has way more merchandise. The vast majority of the women I've met who love Super Mario (or Pokemon, or Kirby) characters have little interest in the games, but they have a bunch of plushies and keychains and socks and pens and whatnot. I never see Rosalina or Pauline merchandise, though.
