There’s no such thing as a popular villager. Raymond and Shep (or any other smug) are pretty much the same with different skins. I think people base their opinions on appearance, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t make one villager better than another.
I think the one thing that threw me off about Buck was his green color. I’m really not a fan of that shade of green, but he grew on me being a jock villager. My favorite villager, Mac, is also a jock. I find them highly underrated. People dislike them for talking about muscles a lot, but lazies talk about food and bugs a lot?? Lazies aren’t nearly as hated. I find that a bit odd, but again, it’s just preference.
