In belated honor of Valentine’s Day, let’s talk about those gacha game characters who don’t get as much love from the greater fanbase than their higher-rarity or stronger peers, but nevertheless deserve it! Whether they’re ranked F-tier and never get used in core gameplay, or have barely double-digit amounts of fanart in their tag, or are even trapped in NPC jail, refusing to ever become playable… this interactive panel hosted by two experienced simps is your chance to come up and share just what it is you find so amazing about them! What’s more, we’ve gone and developed a special methodology to distinguish the tip of the PNG iceberg from its abyss, so you’ll never be left wondering just how normie your interests are again! (UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS SIMPLE ENTERTAINMENT AND NOT A REAL SCIENTIFIC STUDY)
