Those are most of the people I chat with on social media. The majority of those fans are probably preteens/young teenagers. I once met a person who thought Gumi was not a vocaloid, but a "Megapoid". I wouldn't consider myself a vocaloid elitist, as I like most of the vocaloids in the Big 8, but this stuff occasionally bothers me. I've gotten to the point where I'm surprised when I meet a person who loves one of the more obscure vocaloids. The thing that's frustrating me is: If some people claim to love vocaloids so much, (At least, at the start of becoming interested in them) why don't they just take a few minutes to do some research on them? Maybe it's because some people are, as Angel said, ignorant. I was a preteen myself when I learned about vocaloid, but I researched it on the internet & found this site. I'm really grateful that I found this wikia, or I probably wouldn't have known about all of the other vocaloids out there. I'm sure I'm not the only one who regularly meets people who are...less knowledgeable about vocaloid, right?
