"I meant that the fans who hate the big 8/9 just because they're popular we're hipsters, but it seems I misunderstood that term. I'm sorry but I don't understand what kind of phase you're speaking about ?"

I'll pick this apart to see if I can answer better.

"I'm sorry but I don't understand what kind of phase you're speaking about ?"

The "denial/refusal" stage is when fans are aware of the VOCALOIDs outside the big popular 8 or 9. This means VOCALOIDs like Kiyoteru or Rion, Mew, miki, LEON, Tianyi, Bruno and etc, are ignored or are claimed to be "fanmade" (yet some of the fans in this phase think that Neru, Haku, Teto and other UTAUs/Fanmades are actual VOCALOIDs for some reason) when in reality, they are actual VOCALOIDs. This is not to be mistaken for people who simply don't know them because they were never introduced.

^ I don't even know what hipster means so I can't really say. I avoid the word, heh.

Naturally, I would want to label this as "jealousy tied with anger" or something. Because there are fans who absolutely despise the Big 9 or part of just because the other ones aren't popular. The problem is, it's not really the group's fault because VOCALOIDs have no control over their own popularity. That would be the producers since they're the ones who control the usage of the VOCALOID and purchase of the software, as well as the fans who control the number of views and purchase of the merchandise. And the company depends on how well the VOCALOID is received and would control the marketing, plus the idea of updating those VOCALOIDs.
