This is kinda like the MLP. I know whenever I see Brony curious or Digibrony's avatars that its their characters... At one stage I knew theirs better then some of the actual Ponies within MLP, which is the same sort of thing going on with Neru and Haku.

I'm not saying their bad ideas, but the trouble is the same as with the MLP fandom.... Sometimes these characters pull attention from characters that matter. In the case of Neru and Haku, I get concerned because there is more on them within the fandom then some of the lesser popular Vcaloids which makes me worry there are vocaloids not getting enough attention.

When it comes to a toss up with OCs and real Vocaloids, the real ones must become the primary focus above the fakeys. :-/
