You can't say anything without upsetting someone in the fandom. Partly due to them feeling like their being targeted and partly because of some stubbornness. Stubborness can be a vague sign of stupidity, a unwillingness or ignorance to accept what intelligence may prov e as incorrect or otherwise. I tend to find this affects the veteran fans more then any form of stupidity they may succumb too. Its the source of a lot of the bias too within the fandom and cause of a lot of the in-fandom fighting.

I'm not saying the veterans are stupid as often they are far from it, I'm just saying they are still human and are subject pride. Its like someone once lectured me on predijuice and judgement as if they didn't succumb to either, which I managed to prove in that on-line debate they were as guilty as everyone else of doing so... since I managed to make them "hate" me for saying "its part of human nature".

Its nothing to be ashamed of, its built into us all... Thats also why I don't blame someone for disliking or liking certain vocaloids within the software. There will always be a little something that may put you off a vocaloid.

Understanding this is better then denying it... But it doesn't make it any less of an issue to the fandom itself. As I've said before, when the veteran fans qute something thats incorrect (and I count several of us here too as 'veterans' by now), its harder to deal with since we tend t quote it as proven fact. Non-veterans quote things without doing research so its often falls under the concept of philosophy and psychology realms of personnel and spiritual belief or 'religion'. In other words... The reams of make-believe and in-mind illusion.

God I've just bust my brian writing all this... :-/
