Fans represent the best and worst parts of a hobby or interest. Their great for creating love for a product, but they have in their midns their version of the product.

This is partly to blame for why Engloids had trouble striving to compete with J-loids to extreme bias levels at times during the Vocaloid 2 era.

However, over tie the bariers been lessened on many of the rumours and myths about them and its easier to "sell" the ideas of English Vocaloids right now. A LOT of this success is owed to a number of dedicated fans and producers who gave a struggling software version half a chance. That... And we now have Oliver who got a lot of attention all of a sudden rather unexpectantly. Slowly the opions are turning around of what the English version is.

The worst of the fandom is those who do not do their research before they open their mouths, whose only views and knowledge is built on Miku and co. Or those who resist progress or do not give Vocaloid a chance to prove itself.
