@Evil, Since they have kept their word about not returning, one can presume nothing we said got through to them.

I don't any of us like to say this stuff, but the old saying "you have to be cruel to be kind" is pretty much covered in our responses. In this case "cruel" is more "cold". I really don't like telling noobs things like this, because honestly... The whole wikia is saying the say thing. But people choose to ignore things. Its that ignorance that is more of a growing problem for the fandom then anything else. It used to be just plain bias back in 2010.

I'm afraid Bebe is the type of fan that makes me sad, because we can't open their mind to the wonderful world of the other 60+ vocaloids we now have...

Even then, as well as Vocaloid, other synths like UTAU are getting more fame and notice. Vocaloid opened the gate for other things such as CeVIO, Chipspeech, etc. I mean look at Cantor and the software we notice exists these days and compare. Cantor's day and the V1 era, synths hardly got looked at. :-/
