To be honest there are a few et peeves;


 * 1) People who try and counter claim things like "Vocaloids don't sound alike" when the issue in V3 got to a point among Japanese Vocaloids it had to be addressed.
 * 2) My biggest long term issue is when it comes to claims over Japanese Vocaloids, I mentioned before in the past many argued in 2010 prior to VY1 coming along Gumi was the most realistic, when that title had been given to Miki by Japanese fans and not one person said things like Gumi's limited tone changes or Miki's awesome ability to fill 16 tracks.. There were things about English Vocaloids made because people felt the Japanese were superior in every way like "all Engloids lack clarity" when in Japan Sweet Ann and Big Al were praised for theirs.  Or calling Tonio's vocal "ugly" again in Japan he was considered "beautiful".  Basically, fans pretty much saying they know things that end up being contradicted drives me mad.  Never claimed to or pretend to be a know it all as I admit there is a lot I don't know, but there are fans out there doing everything they used to claim I do... And won't admit when their wrong.  This is why for the first couple of years VO forums despised us, because I think we were counterclaiming most of what they were saying. This considering VO forums itself gave birth to a number of V2 myths we spent our first 4-5 years beating.
 * 3) Obession with the Kagamines relationship.
 * 4) Ignoring 70 other Vocaloids over the 6 CFM vocaloids in general among the fandom.
 * 5) Lua fans overstating her voicebanks abilities or quality in V$x (Luka is the only Vocaloid who overall gets treated like she can do no wrong as I'm mentioned before).
 * 6) "Oh know Meiko/Luka are loosing popularity we have to save them!"....
 * 7) You can't criticise badly made songs without a dozen white knights defending them. The artists at times only want you to suck up and praise works even when your ears feel like their bleeding. Sometimes the artist is the worst aspect of this and sometimes... the artist knows their work is bad and its the fans. Now I have college level music abilities, but aside from know some song theories and all that, I don't claim to be a music expert, but there are fans out there with nothing at all who try to do just that. Back to the issues with fans no knowing and getting it wrong on Japanese Vocaloids... Likewise a lot of people don't actually know what good quality music making involves and often the praise can be because their favourite Vocaloid was used.
 * 8) You all know my "update for the sake of it existing" issue as seen with Piko. ITs not the first time, we have Luka Power in V3 era, even though Luka's best at being a soft type vocal and Power did nothing in EVEC for her despite having more then 1 because whats powerful to Luka ain't powerful enough overall.
 * 9) I don't care about Miku, my 3rd least favourite Vocaloid is for a reason. Even though I like Miku Dark, its not the core vocal so only counts for 1/7 of Miku's voice overall. But I said this a few years back... Just because I'm a Vocaloid fan it DOESN'T mean I'm forced to like her. I've had people try and "convert" me both with her and the Kagamines and I just don't like their vocals.  ITs the same with Tone Rion and Ryuto.  You can't change my preferences in music and if you see my 10 favourites list you get the idea of what I lika.  My top 3 contains the only true Dark Horse, Mance Nana.  Considering what I've done over the years to this wiki, to help promote Vocaloid and other vocal synths, how am I not a true fan if I don't like Miku exactly?  It always urked me when someone pulled that stunt on me in the past years that I have done more then most fans, as have others like Bunai, Viper and even now at this point Lynn. But unless we all comply to the preferences of the majority of the fans, we could not be considered "True Vocaloid fans".  But if that was true, why are any of us here on the wiki at all?  Why are those who o often not the ones here proving it?  You don't have to edit the wiki, you can just create blogs, comment, enter discussions, all that.

@Panta; "People who believe their opinion is the only right opinion".

I pretty much hear you, I'll add to this; when people think your trying to make out your trying to tell them your opinion is right. I've had this a lot. Especially since I make long posts. Thats a bad habit from a time long ago that doesn't exist, but remains in me despite that. A time wherein you HAD to know your stuff to the tee among certain communities and you dialled up to long in, meaning whatever post you made had to be worth paying that 75p that it could potentially cost you to send the post. Every letter counted, you had to truly think things through, nerds on the net were nerds -fullstop-. And sure, people don't like it, but it certainly doesn't mean I'm trying to present myself as "my opinion is all that matters".
