User blog comment:HoneyCandiez/"Anime" VOCALOID/@comment-53539-20150607194733

The problem is that during the V2 era, it was what the fans wanted. Now we have mostly this style, the fans don't want it constantly. As PowerFX said, this is what the fans want. I think Yamaha now knows this is the consequences of Vocaloid now.

Damn if they do, damned is they don't. :-/

Currently only the VY's are left with the old style. But the Japanese "get" VY1 and VY2 mostly, whereas the west they had to resort to stock images because we don't "get" avatar-less vocaloids as much as the Japanese do. The Japanese still use non-Roro avatars at times for VY2.... Whereas our idiot fandom can't understand he isn't set in cement as a character nor be bothered to come up with anything else when they do. ¬_¬

Just as they can't grasp FLOWER IS A GIRL without argument.
