It's fine for people to dislike VOCALOIDs for their own reasons. I mean, they won't be able to deny its existence, but they can ignore it if they want to.

It's also nice to keep in mind that fans of VOCALOID should respect those opinions of non-fans too, even if it's something you don't entirely agree with. It's not nice to shove your VOCALOIDs down the non-fan's throat because they're not willing to accept them. :(

I've met non-fans who wanted VOCALOID purged and how they hate VOCALOID because of the whole "robots/technology is taking over the world and soon we won't have real life singers". They feel that VOCALOID does not require talent, but quite honestly, they are rather misinformed about the way VOCALOID works. They tend to think that VOCALOID can work on its own and doesn't fully understand how songs are created. Do I blame them for that? Well, no, not really... I mean, you find a thing you don't like, I'm certain that you're probably not going to want to research it further, yes? It's normal for people to do that, but to make your points more valid, it's better to research the stuff you don't like so you don't look like a total fool when arguing.

Numerous times I had to at least try to explain to these non-fans that while the vocal library itself doesn't have to work hard, they read the phonemes you punch in and sing it back, it's the producers that make the magic happen. Producers and other staff (illustrators, video editors, etc) put their blood and sweat into the music, not the VOCALOID itself. And if you want to go further, the staff who created the vocal library worked hard too, editing the library, a voice provider spending hours creating the sounds, etc. So while the library itself doesn't have "Talent", it's the people behind them that has it. :P
