There was this one Piko page I got into a fight with. They asked "Who's your favorite VOCALOID?"

A fan wrote "Miku cuz she's first <3"

Of course I had to interfere and say that she wasn't the first, technically.

"Piko" says, "Well, it's the first for her" This reminds me of one arguement I had with a good friend of mine, who is someone whom is not particulary open to new Vocaloids and especially not non-Japanese ones.

The arguement sparked when she called the Cryptons "the originals" and I was like "no, I can't allow you to call them that" and she chewed my head right off because apparently this is disrespecting her ..... um the way she enjoys Vocaloids perhaps is the right thing to call it (Ironic given that's exactly what she did to me when calling them "originals).

I was especially pissed when she made the down right assumption I "don't enjoy" the Cryptons as much as her because I found Sweet Ann and Prima first (Very much a lie, given that Miriam was the first Vocaloid I discovered although it was Miku that got me into the fandom).

Either way the point is that you do get those fans that are so stuck up in how they see Vocaloid that if you dare suggest that they should pay attention to other Vocaloids they get incredibly offended.

(Ok but this sounds harsh on my friend who was (and I beleive still is) in a depressed state of mind, but that still didn't change the fact she went so far as to properly upset me)
