Most of the people who like brats only really like idealized ones who aren't actually that gross or mean like he is. He's also not quite prominent or annoying enough to appeal much to kids. Although I don't think nigewaka has a particularly large child audience anyway.
I get the impression that he's more popular in the West. I think we tend to find full blown shitheads like him more amusing. But he's still too gross even for most Westerners.
I love him. But he just unfortunately appeals to a small minority of people who are also not very prolific producers of fanart. And the transforming thing kind of fucked him over. Most of his most memorable scenes are him looking like someone else.
