I mean, I know for a fact that a fair number of girls in SaiMoe attract anti-votes, but I don't know anybody who is voting against Kanade, even with her being as popular as she is. She's a character that creates either positive fan sentiment or no sentiment at all, so she gets votes but not anti-votes.
Obvious post but true. Also true for K-ON characters in terms of sales of anime and merchandise, probably was the case in voting in moe contents for 2 years previous but definitely not true this year.

And there are people that anti-vote Kanade. They just don't matter due to China and Taiwan votes.
