Talk:Merli/@comment-81.147.188.139-20120729180531

Next point; why did I make the large response? Due to the wikias buggy systems, I've been unableto really respond for a few days and even now I'm resulting to just doing it anonyuously on firefox because its the only browser that works for me. It took a few hours to bring any trust into this menthod since even now I'm expecting a bugto render a long post meaningless... Otherwise I always try to detail my thoughts. But I'm usedto talking to people and havingto give essays that clear up misunderstandignsthey have towards Vocaloids.

I like Merli's design, its just I think its a littlebit one step too much. That is all. I'm now waiting for the voice so I can make my final judgement on if I like her, becauseto me the voice will be the decision on if I follow Merli or not, not skin colour, background or gender.

FIY, racism is something I've discussed multiple times on the net, so I'm aware of the issue and implimentations of skin colour. But I'm against the idea of someone being held in merit because of skin colour, background or gender, rather then skills and personnelity, etc, ITs the same for Vocaloid, I'd rather people like theVocaloid for its vocal qualities and loathe every time the studios throw out a vocaloid without a voice like they have done here. :-/

And I know how serious it can be, since on my university grounds a white guy was actually killed by 2 black guys in a racist attack. If I say "I hateMerli because she is black" you can take me as racist. But I say, "I don't see why people like her just because she is 'black' (when she isn't might I point out)" which is not racist. I'm just using it as another example of how swallow this fandom is at times, since I'm always critising how people make the avatars more important then the vocal.

I'm actually the person who set up a lot of this wikia... And I want the Voclaoids to be loved. I regularly have to scrap my knuckles around to get people to understand things about this software; leding me to make large posts all the time to explain and expand on things people don't agree on. I know some classify this as a "troll" at times, but I'm just someone who loves a good discussion with lots of points.

But at times I forget a lot of this fandom isn't the same as me on this thought. :-/
