Okay so yesterday I kinda felt this was more laughable, bt todayits bothering me.

While PowerFX is a great unknown, its confirmed that with the exception of Sonika, the vocaloids from Zero-G aren't processed. This allows them to maintain natural tones. Vocaloid itself is incapable of snapping to tune like autotuning software, which is why many Vocaloids are either off pitch or at times even off key (believe it or not). Their flawed, whereas autotune is flawless.

Even then, its pretty much confirmed that CFM process all of their vocals and that Internet co have cleaned up their vocals every new engine version, sometimes without recording new voices in the process leading to little change between versions (Gackpoid V3 and V4, Gachapoid V2 and V3).

So straight away, in regards to Zero-G at least, this comment is false. As I said, what they are hearing is engine noise. Vocaloids engine fills in gaps where they exist, so this tends to be the reason why it crops out. This reminds me of the problem of "just because 1 vocaloid is flawed doesn't mean another is flawless". There has yet to be a perfect vocaloid and this is reflected in the need to have Voicebank extensions and updates, sometimes overhauls of the entire scripts to get improvements even if its a minor amount.

Without the native ear playing a part and making more familiar languages more broken then ones which you don't know much about... And the fact that this sort of bias has been said since V2 when things were at their second worst (v1 being the worst), often demostrates how little people can tell you about vocaloids. As its been said before due to the vast amount of songs, its EASY to cherry pick the best songs from Japanese vocaloids, while new Vocaloids like Ruby have so few they may not exist for a while.

Either way its back to displaying the ignorant, bias or naive side of Vocaloid that lacks the better knowledge to make a sound judgement and are just taking things at face value. It also reminds me of the guys saying they hear no difference between Ruby and Diva to any past English vocaloid... Which is the same as saying there is no difference between Megpoid V2 and Megpoid V4 native at this point. >_<
