Ruby was meant to be Latino, but the first design suggested for her was of a typical white singer. No one told Bil any of this in a way he understood the situation and hat he was getting when PowerFX agreed to distribute Ruby. Anders was the one to blame for that.

Latino's have stereotypically tanned skin.

IT wasn't intentional so the fan claims were false. Ruby went on to sell about as well as any other PowerFX before her... Which wasn't much to say as PowerFX Vocaloids didn't sold like hotcakes. The same was for Zero-G's Vocaloids prior to Avanna taking off without warning. Other then confirming that Bil's departure from PowerFX was not related but was the death of their Vocaloid there really isn't much to say. There was a lot of fan stupidity on show in the Ruby incident.

The most amazing thing is, Leon and Lola are voiced by black singers, but the most popular portrayals of them are whitesingers. Ruby was by accident; but if the fans do it on purpose is it better?
