>>181951basically what he's asking is why shimakaze (a ship girl from popular naval-themed gacha game Kantai Collection, often shortened to Kancolle, who is often, to my understanding erroneously, presumed to be a femboy) has seemingly fallen off in popularity compared to other, even older otokonoko such as astolfo. OP's conclusion from this is that gacha games are shit (yukari whale holding fact sign) and have no staying power past the initial hype. That said, Kancolle was a massive force for a number of years, so I'm not sure how well that theory holds up. Regardless, the fact of the matter is that Shimakaze has indeed declined in observable popularity.
Please enjoy this Ikazuchi (the best ship girl, her only potential competition being Tenryuu) who is verifiably female, as prolonged thought about otokonoko can lead to unsavory side-effects.
