I don't really care about the fandom, Vocaloid is not for that. If it were for the fandom, all vocaloids would be re-painted version of Miku and they would be part of an anime, like fanmades.

I'm not saying anything about gays, and I know how japaense people sees Gakupo design, but I still know that a less girly design could have make him more popular, is not for nothing that Kaito was still more popular being a V1 than V2 Gakupo, I think is also a fandom thing: Kaito's design, for a lot of people, looks better than Gakupo's. I like Gakupo, he is a great vocal, but talking about his designs, I always notice that artists trys to make him less girly in his PV, videos and fanarts. And we all have read at least some comments about people asking if Gakupo is a girl or things like that. Same with Piko.

I'm not asking for a over manly MACHO design either, just a more normal male anime character (because like you said, they will all be anime style u_u)

But as a fan of Vocaloid, sadly, I'm also part of the fandom in some way, so I'm also expressing myself saying what I think (I'm not the only one who things like me, that not everything MUST to look girly) fandom will never change if people says things like "get use to it" just because some other people like other things.

More manly guys are also well recived, Kaito and Len (the most popular males) have manly designs, at least they looks like males in their official artwork, and they look cool (of course, they have a lot of marketing and etc).

I would like if new designs they were more original :(, only new japanese male design I have seen in Vocaloid 3 is Lui's and is more of the same unpopular thing. The only popular "shota-ish" vocaloid is Len, and he doesn't even looks like a girl, that's Rin.

Like I said, expresing myself, I would like, blabla.
