Why is Vegeta so popular with normies? If you look at things like gym apparel for example you'll see Vegeta much more than Goku and it makes no sense.

Goku (pre-Super lobotomy) is a humble hero dedicated to the craft of self-improvement and mastering both mind and body. He doesn't believe in limits, only in roadblocks.

Meanwhile Vegeta is conceited with an inflated ego, constantly boasting about being the royalty of a dead race he only cares about when it's time to brag. He constantly whines and seethes about a "low class warrior" being ahead of him and didn't even care about his own family until it was too late. He even mentally cucked to a floating testicle just to get strong enough to match Goku.

Vegeta simply doesn't have any heroic or even admirable qualities so why the normie glazing? If anything Goku is the example we should seek to imitate.
