User blog:Angel Emfrbl/The thing I find most disappointing about this fandom...

Its not that Pocaloid exists... But the reaction from fans who want certain vocaloid voicebanks and if they don't get them want them any way possible.

So this boils down to the Ring trial version, which a selective few got hold of. On VO this was mentioned in a topic and someone's reaction was "one of those guys should have pocaloided her".

I've seen this reaction before with Galaco and some folks view if they "won" her during the competition then they have every right to keep using despite the red tape thats on her. Therefore, they will not comply with the conditions for keep using her and will illegally use her. Not only that but when she first was announced and we translated it as only a few people would win her, someone stated that the winners should see it was their seldom duty to pocaloid her.

Why must vocaloid fans react like this every single time.

Look, I'm not going to say Pocaloid is good or bad, Pocaloid can be good if used right as it encourages people to buy the vocaloid software in some respects. I've always been against the fandom section who refuse to put something back into the thing their suppose to be as fan of. In other words, I'm against that "why should I buy something I can pirate for nothing". These guys are the selfish section of any fandom because if you want more of the thing your a fandom of, you've got to encourage it to happen. Sure vocaloids are expensive, but a lot of the people attempting to use them aren't music students or musicians and vocaloid is a waste on them anyway.

But these guys I can live with, despite knowing they exist.

Its just this "if the vocaloid isn't released at all to the general fans then those that have it must give it to them."

No. This is not on, its pure betrayal of trust on the fan who hands over a vocaloid. Galaco was bound to people's accounts, so the illegal users can be tracked easy by looking up who won and who didn't win her. But Ring was given out to a selective few folks. Those folks will likely be not invited to future events or shamed if they do such a thing.

I just don't see why every time this comes up someone HAS to say that one sentance that brings down the fans. :-/
