A lot of it is knee-jerk reaction, because they like a Voclaoid and the last thing they need to be reminded of is that particular Vocaloid might not be as "unique" or "special" to them as it seems. But this is something the fandom has to learn to deal with, even Miku herself is borrowing things that are a cultural common trait.

Once people get over this, they'll be able to take it easier and easier over time and it won't shock or suprise them. Its like the people who complain about seeing yet another female vocaloid. We're leaning on the Japanese "Otaku" fandom all the time, therefore its to be expected. Females generally DO better in Japan for this sort of thing. Thats why you'll more likely see cute or sexy girls on products then male, which the exception of the items specifically aimed at males or with a masculine image. Even then one or two females might slip in just for fanservice.

The fandom has changed itself in the lat few years thus all you can do is bare with it and wait to see what happens next. We'll have different opinions in 2 years time to what we have now.

Just think, prior to Oliver people weren't really difficult to deal with, but Oliver's turned peoples' opinions around, even if its just the Len/Piko fangirls. Now, people are begging for more english voices all of a sudden since Oliver isn't enough. Plus with 10+ voices due for English,it finally starting to eggs open on the fans temptations. :-/
