To be fair, I've seen it in plenty of other fandoms so this shouldn't bother me.

But... No other fandom have I found the same level of... Its not "laziness"... Its something else. In the brother fandom, the bronies organised everything and got their act together, but I had to beg our vets? Something wasn't right with that... To top it off, In the end, it took me editing to get things done? Thats my big issue, because I noticed then that veterans in the Vocaloid fandom didn't want to seem to push to help the newbies, but just sit there and say "I'm better" and criticize their "stupidity(?)" or something.

I don't know if this is quite the picture to pain, as I said we're vets here too some of us at this point. It peeved me off when someone accused me of being a "know it all" because I don't know nearly enough about Vocaloid as I should do despite editing here, and to top it off... I was met with "know it all" fans when I was a noob. It really left a lasting impression.

And lets not get into the bias opinions... Which actually shocked me at times. "Fans" of engloids were putting them down, often with arguments that were more one sided.

The issue is that 100 people can join a forum, and have 100 different experiences and mine was bad. the other 99 can have good experience. Nobody should take my word for it on VO, because to me the issue is not specific to VO, but applies to the entire Vocaloid fandom at least here in the west. We've also got some divided fans... Fans who can call themselves "veterans" yet can at the same time only know the big 8. It doesn't seem right, but thats how this fandom works. Its not unified... It was more unified in 2007-2009, but now there is a big difference between one part of the fandom and another.

Which is why... The 2010 can still exist. :-/
