One last thing here...I have yet to hear of any popularity contest which was completely fair to everyone involved. It's so typical that the term 'popularity contest' has become an epithet. It wasn't 'fair' to the normally popular people in my high school when the band/orchestra kids all collaborated in an unbeatable voting bloc to elect their own people for homecoming court instead of letting the same usual few popular kids get what they'd always assumed they deserved, but they simply followed the rules established by the owners of the contest.

In FKG, it's not fair to the event girls who can't participate (and who would probably dominate). It's not fair to the DMM players, who may not get any of our redesigned girls (unless we're completely stupid and vote for the same girls they did, which...we seem determined to do). It's not fair to the people who will never roll any of the winners in the gacha (including me, probably). If you're stuck on the term 'popularity contest,' well...you're right. It isn't a straight popularity contest. That technicality doesn't matter, because it's just a name. Would you really feel better if they called it a 'long term and active player weighted reward voting event?'

Besides, there are many veterans who are voting not based on their own desires, but based on the will of the Harem Time group. My preferred flower knight won't make it, so I'm putting my votes on the one girl we all decided could upset the 5-6* applecart.

If it is a crime, Nutaku would have a right to ban and report to the police about the players who has already vote character who is 4* rarity above . But that doesn't explain why Nutaku would want include a character who 4* rarity and above in the voting booth in the first place.
