Most of the other Vocaloid communities don't have any direct ties to companies or are not as "big"/enduring as VO, so it makes them stand out. When something stands out, their more likely to be criticized because they are noticed. We're more obvious to the fandom then VO, so we get criticized by EVERYONE in the fandom.

I once said on VO that they appeal to about a couple of hundred of visitors a day, whereas for us thats a couple of thousand. Between all the communities though, we only reach about 1/5 of all the Vocaloid fans. And whether we get along or not, its taken all this time for each community to get the western fandom where it is between us. Some are more direct, some are more indirect. We're more "direct" and their more "indirect".

However, yeah... About this topic, look, someone once create a topic on VO saying "does the Vocaloid wikia need redoing" or something like that, to which the ranty folks who'd been going on about us in the rant topic said "yes, wipe it clean and started again!".

So yeah, compare this thread to THAT. A few VO members have said worst about us then we have about them. At least we're trying to be diplomatic about this.
