I have no issue with role players, but on youtube they can be bothersome. When you post something like "congrats Piko" and someone pretending to be Piko replies "thanks", its kinda bothersome. Its like they don't know the difference between fan-fiction and reality, sometimes the role players often barely know much about vocaloid and act based on the few staws they've managed to hold onto as "truth". If they believe Kaito is a pervert, for example, then they role play as one.

They often spam comment sections with nonsense related to their role playing and will post everywhere with no purpose but to advertise their "in-role".

I think though why the hate towards Role Players... Back in 2011, there were no role players on youtube from what I saw, now their everywhere and I'm not sure what spawned this tread. Since its a relatively new thing, a lot of veteran vocaloid fans don't like it. Its not something their used to and not something they want.

They've got reasons to have quips though, its taken the last 2-3 years to establish some familiarity amongst the vocaloid fans in the west. Back in 2009, so few fans even knew what vocaloid was other vocaloid beyond the CFM lot were struggling to even get noticed, most of all the English ones. Every part of the western vocaloid fandom has slowly climbed to get some sort of order in place, some parts are still fighting to maintain their place in the fandom. Its built some very over the top passionate fans and its also built some stronger bias... Its likely for that reason the veteran fans don't like things like things, since its going against what they've struggled to establish with common casual vocaloid "fans".

For the veteran fans have long acknowledged that vocaloids don't have a personality and likely feel the RPers are trying to force one in place. Pretty much the same as why many would skip fanfiction to begin with...
