It would have made sense to contact Planty directly since they work on the wiki too. While Ring and Lui are very much a fixation for Western Vocaloid fans, it doesn't mean they should be discouraged from liking them as the concepts they are...were. I am more annoyed at people playing tricks that involve Ring and Lui and getting hopes up, but for this project I don't see that here.

As for Money + UTAU- this argument is disputed when a creator of a project request donations for their project and nothing else (aka. they're not profiting). The voice provider should be paid for their time and the illustrator should be paid for their work. And at no point did I see that Planty stating to be selling an UTAU voice bank. However, something to realize, there are Windows 100% UTAU, Win100% is a commercial magazine that requires people to pay so in this context they'd get an UTAU voice bank. Whether the cost is going to the magazine or subscription fee, the money is still being exchanged for extra content.
