We can't really compare our voting event to the Japanese voting event because they didn't have a foreign version/existing bride winners to worry about. No matter who they voted for, they would definitely get "new" girls.
The reason our Nutaku community is in such a disarray over our voting event is because of the existence of previous DMM winners. Some of us consider it unfair that the results of our votes may make less of a content impact than the DMM's voting event did.
Honestly, a lot of this fuss would be resolved if Nutaku version didn't include any of the previous winners. But we are all also aware that Nutaku are banking on at least one of the previous winners winning again so that they have less work to do. The only previous winner that we can't vote for is Camellia, guaranteeing at least 1 "new" bride girl that DMM does not have yet.
But we want the possibly to having a strong enough impact to create three new bride girls.
If Orchid gets 2nd or 3rd place, they may have to make a new 5* skin of Orchid anyways. Or Nutaku being Nutaku, might just give us a "new" 5* Orchid that visually looks like DMM's 6* Bride Orchid. That sounds like the lazy Nutaku thing to do.
