Well, you can't argue with opinion anyway. You can dislike the way she looks, and there's nothing wrong with that. But if someone thinks she's cute, and a cool looking character I don't see how you can deny them that right and argue with them about it either. Nor does it mean that people that like her appearance are "weeaboo" or "otaku" either. She's just 1 character after all.

Just like alllllllllllllllllllll the others. There was little creativity. Just copypasta of perhaps everything otaku "stereotypes" would find appealing. Refer to my edit about Idolmaster. It's also kind of funny because all of the women got J-pop idol outfits a while ago. Thus, adding someone who looks like a cute J-pop idol may be a non-starter. Now, people can and do like things that technically aren't that original, and you can say that because she does look like a cute J-pop idol, she fits right in.
You can argue with the basis of which an opinion is formed. If someone thinks she's cute, fine. She pretty obviously is. I will argue with the fact that she is somehow not as "tryhard" or something as a character like Mignon Beart or Lucky Chloe (though I think Lucky Chloe's design is worse in the sense that it's a pastiche of perhaps too many concepts and too busy).
Also, I'm not trying to label anyone. It is quite within the realm of possibility that someone who does not identify as an "otaku" can like something that "otaku" would also find appealing. I just use the term because the concept is usually well-understood.
Well, it's already been moved. But, likely the point was to get the opinions of foot-traffic who wouldn't necessarily venture into the Honoka forum on their own. People who would go there (come here) at all may already like her and maybe even want to main her in the future, thus skewing the poll. @Koyomi AraragiOh, but it is!
Edit: I suppose there is a residual redirect link where it was, but I don't think that gets bumped with activity.

Its been a little over 24hrs now. I honestly wasn't expecting the likes to heavily outweigh the dislikes.

Meh.
I quite like her appearance and personality. Some may say she's unoriginal and maybe she is if you're familiar with a lot of anime characters but I barely ever watch any anime so she doesn't come across as being so unoriginal to me.
I'm just disappointed that she's a mimic character. It wouldn't really be that bad if she also had some unique moves or even if they just altered the animations of her stolen moves slightly to make them look a little bit more unique..

I like her design, her pink hair reminds me of Serah from FFXIII (and i am a big fan of the FF series), however i was hoping for an original fighting style, beacause it could have been something cool and flashy with the power she has, but after seeing her movelist and the stances she has i started to like her, i think she is the "most original" mimic character i've ever seen.
Oh, and i also like her theme.

Doesn't she have her own stance with her own moves? Is her stance full of un-original stuff too?

By the way her profile say that from her stance she should get access to unique moves: "In her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, however, she is imbued with an unbelievable strength and becomes capable of techniques she has never seen from any other fighter."
I think there is a chance that the movelist that we got could be lacking of them contrarily to the final version.

I would just like to point out that if Honoka is copying anyone's hair color it is actually Ayane's alternate hair from DOA1. At first it looks slightly different but if you turn down the saturation in the Ayane pic it's actually identical:

That's supposed to be like her critical burst and stuff from that one fiery stance. It's also the stance with her Raidou Underworld Drop throw (at least the first part of it). Hoping we see more from that stance.
Training mode here i come.

HonoKattle should be the name of the Honoka fanbase IMO, just because its punny.
Lolol

Yeah, poor her.
Her bikinis in DOAX3 should be named Ambrosia, Caesar, Chef, Mesclun, Cobb, Crab Louie,...

I think people mainly dislike her for her non inspired moveset.
I do hope TN adds some originality to her moveset in DOA6, let her copy moves and all but let her add a unique twist to them. I am not a gameplay master so I can't give many examples but you get what I mean.
I think Double from Skullgirls is a good example of a copy character with a unique twist.
I don't want her to change her design as I like how it is inspired by Honoka from Love Live.

There goes my hopes of being one of the few people that uses her, kinda like Marie Rose T.T

The thing about Double is that she's not a copy character at all. Every single one of Double's moves are entirely original. Double only copies appearances, not fighting styles.
No. The fanbase should obviously be "The Salad Bar".

I don't like salads, however I like Honoka. In my eyes she's more like a buffet.
Being new, I don't mine that she is composed mostly of moves from other characters. I like the concept of a character that has no fixed move sets or style. I hope TN uses her to sample new martial arts in DOA6.
