Omg some of these things made me laugh out loud, some were so ridiculously sad they made me want to cry, haha...

I'm an even bigger utaite fan, but I do like VOCALOID as well. And this is pretty related so. The #1 thing that bugs me in utaite fandom is that every popular utaite cover on YouTube always has comments that say "which VOCALOID is this?" That's the pet peeve of I think everyone in the utaite fandom... in fact, some get pretty seriously offended by it, for multiple reasons I think... some just prefer utaite and feel they are more superior than VOCALOID. For some, they feel frustrated that their favourite singers aren't recognized, despite their talents, and are mistaken for fictional characters, who are praised more than real people. While VOCALOIDs are cool, I do kinda find it sad that fake characters get so much more love than real singers. Though, I am fully supportive of praising the real people involved in the making of VOCALOIDs and their covers.

But anyways. That misconception is really, really common.
