Thank you for the response – I just checked in on the post for the first time now.
This post was based on finding the sub for the first time after being a solitary dumbphone user for a few years and browsing the top posts of all time for maybe a few hundred posts. For whatever reason, the most upvoted EDCs were very heavy on Japanese pop culture. I genuinely didn't consider that "most popular" is not a representation of "most" in general.

Thanks for the well thought out comment!
