more like Fuji just never really gave a fuck about Yoshida.

Fujimoto: If I accomplished that, then good. I thought that depicting each one's emotions would cause more emotion when they died, I did that consciously. So I'm not actually that attached to the characters, myself. Drawing Power was fun, but the other characters... I was aware they all exist to serve the story, so I didn't especially like them.

He has caved before. He turned Yoshida into basically just a meaningless background character because Yoshidafags didn't want him to die.
Fujimoto has stated openly that with a work like CSM, he takes mainstream response into account, which he wouldn't do with a one-shot or a series like Fire Punch.
If he allowed himself to writely "freely" we'd get a much darker and grittier series, for example he wanted to have Denji chop up and prepare Makima as food.

can't blame you, he barely appears in the manga.
even the author himself was confused why anyone likes him.

>He's used too sparsely
All because a random Yoshidafag didn't want him to die
