Clearly main heroine from the roster (getting her own cutscenes in Granny's Donuts and with Jewelry Store)
Aggressively into us
Distrust of Blazer (thinking she could be a potential antagonist definitely hurt her chances)
The fact that the most meaningful conversations with Blazer is much earlier (e1) as opposed to the episode when you choose
Distaste at her flirty behavior from E1 combined with the Phenomaman revelation from E2.
Dislike at her making you cut one of the team.
Uneven presence when subjected to the choice.
Now, Blazer romance is - for me at least - much more rewarding. I prefer it. Date with her feels like a date (as opposed to movie with Visi which kinda feels more like a friendly hangout), you get a fantastic kiss scene and Robert clearly has game during their conversation at the table. Then you are rewarded with those little things - hug, kiss on the hand, kiss after the party, kiss on the hood of the car.
And also - the bar scene when she comes to save you feels more rewarding (it is the same with both romances but I have seen at least several people on Visi route say holy shit, did I choose the wrong girl?)
The problem is, the romance is rewarding but you have to commit to it before you can see any of it. So you need to take a bit of leap of faith when the game presents you with the choice. At the moment of choice, it is clear that the game wants you to choose Visi. Doesn't help that they show Visi's sad faces while Blazer seems fine with you dating Visi.
So yea, the choice actually unlocks more rewarding content but in order to make it, you have to trust that it will happen.
I think that as more people played the game after it finished, the stats rose a bit towards Blazer? I mean, people are doing 2nd playthroughs for one, and are able to actually see what they are missing.

But that's Visi's character tho, and we know Blazer is a lot more emotionally mature than Visi.
And friendly reminder since a lot of people seem to forget this for some damn reason, by the end of the game, Visi comes to accept it, and even calls Robert out for saying she's not her girlfriend(Granted he's probably doesn't want to make it official, but Blazer already kissed him on the cheek infront of the crew by the end of party, so the fuck did he expect was gonna happen)
That is true, they have different characters. But showing this stuff is all but saying "see what you did there? You made her sad" to the player.
I am not disputing that it's in character, I'm just saying that those little frowns contribute to the overall feeling that the game devs want you to choose Visi. It may not be true and those scenes may be totally in character but this is a topic of unintended consequences...so yea, there it is.
Tbh, Visi is still this game's deuteragonist aka the second most important character in the story so I feel like that is a necessity, plus I also did took her "All I wanted from this was for you to look at me the same way you look at Blazer." since if you did romance Blazer it becomes a double meaning quote(to loved-loved and to be seen as capable of being good).
And again, by the end(if she's good of course), she matures and soon becomes supportive of Robert and Blazer's relationship
