Oooh perhaps you mean the official popularity poll on the chinese FFXIV website which put the random Elpis axolotl over all the characters of the game, P3S' boss over Alphinaud and Tataru, or Hydaelyn's Dog over all the city-state leaders? The same poll where your "massively popular" Minfillia is nowhere to be seen in the top 32 despite featuring long dead and forgotten characters like Ysayle? An incredibly serious source which surely means that any criticism towards the game is nothing but the powerless cries of a tiny 0.0001% minority like you repeat in every single of your baseless posts.
Ah no I get it. You got your "objective truth" by watching YouTube videos personally curated by an algorithm to fit your interest and your views.

You have no idea what you're talking about, but you're so full of yourself that you think that by using the same Internet everyone else does only you can see the truth. You're the exact same as people you're trying to denounce, but with added hypocrisy to boot.

At our level, we can't know what is truly popular or not. We can make observations and get something that might get close to correct, but by implying numbers like when you talk about "extremely tiny minority" you're making the exact same kind of unfounded claims than those who says that their views are shared by an "wide portion of the community". (which you also do, btw)
Data is data. Just because you personally doesn't like where it comes from doesn't make it any more or less relevant. Attack the data, not the source of it.
