The vocaloid fandom is the first fandom where comparisons to other characters is shunned and hated... In the beyblade fandom, One Piece fandom, I have spent hours comparing characters. Its mostly to find the original design source they took influence from... But its also great fun at times to pull up the characters "look alike" or "doppelganger".

Worst still is a handful of vocaloids ARE confirmed as taking notes from other vocaloids, yet most of the time those few vocaloids are taking minor details... Such as Miki's body type being based on Rin and Miku's, Gackpoid's "cyber on normal clothes", etc, etc. Yet there is a blindness to even this... Some people just flat out refuse to believe certain vocaloids are not special snowflakes.

Half the time the vocaloids may not even be referencing each other, but drawing aspects from the same cultural source, ending up with similair traits to each other unintentionally... :-/
