Yeah, it's fun to use one's imagination, but personally, my problem with this stuff lies in the fact that people still think this is "round table discussion/agreemen"t type of stuff that helps toward making anything mass fan-cannon. Sitting around brainstorming with others on who should get what is part of what gets annoying here... in reality there was no group brainstorming behind the fan items/personalities that exist with the older V2 era Vocaloids. People just took inspiration from songs/PVs/fan manga and ran with what they thought was funny about each, all while putting their own comedic spin on them in their own creative works... which, if you think about it, is how an actual meme is created in the first place. Long story short: If people want to try and get a meme to start, they just do it, no discussion needed. If it catches on, cool. If not, then that's that. It's really nothing that complicated.

Either way, we're dangerously close to 60 Vocaloids. (...or are we actually there yet?) And considering the fact that all of them are pretty unique in their own right already, adding more fan items to an old and worn out meme seems kind of redundant if differentiation is the main purpose of fan items. It actually adds more to the misconception that most newbies believe them to be official anyways... (・_・)
