And let's not forget, the majority of the time it's said, people are dead serious about it... it's no fantasy to them, they legitimately want to make a free (or inexpensive) voicebank and character to for expensive software that costs about the same as a small house to make. There has been so much confusion in the past with people claiming they were going to make or have made VOCALOIDs (even to the point of having their own "voicebank" demonstrations), and the hype they bring to other unknowing fans kind of threw parts of the fandom back to the dark ages each time. So naturally, it brings some form of cynicism out of those of us that are annoyed to the point that the same mistakes are going to be repeated yet again due to the misinformation that's still out there to this day.

The way I see it. one of the main problems lies within the fact that most people still see VOCALOID in general as a "play-thing" rather than "professional music software/creativity outlet"... I mean, it's fun with the creativity-driven aspects it brings, but the fact remains it's a sophisticated technology that's constantly being researched and worked on to improve its potential in the future. "VOCALOID: Srs bsns, ya hurr?" :-P
