We have fans who recommend Japanese vocaloids for English, who overpraise Maika's skills, think Miku is the best vocaloid, are obsessed wth the Kagamine relationship, rarely get past the iconic 36 or so songs or say their a Vocaloid fan when they don't actually know what Vocaloid is. Its really not uncommon for this sort of thing to occur.

So I'm on the same line of thought as Viper here. After 8 years in this fandom, I started out as a Engloid fan, I'm tired and worn just dealing with the English vocaloid undermining alone. And even in 2018, I'm till explaining Neru, Haku and Teto aren't vocaloids and what Vocaloid is. And I was lectured in 2014 about how "fans don't make these mistakes anymore", etc.

Similar to this, we have Gackpo jokes about his gender and that reared its ugly head as an attempted joke this year.

And lets not even touch the Controversy Concerns page... I agree that these sorts of misconceptions are getting old and annoying. I come across these sorts of situations almost 80% of the time now, and it's getting on my nerves. I doubt that these misconceptions are going to end any time soon :(
