Talk:Hatsune Miku/@comment-24.102.244.72-20151011002811/@comment-53539-20151018075458

When I joined the fandom I certainly felt like this. I was a Engloid fan at a time when there was almost no support for them. And while the Japanese vocaloids were bias overpraised, the Engloids were run down constantly by the fans. So things were ugly and no one really stood up for English Vocaloid in those days, giving it the time of day nor merit.

A ot of it has to do with popularity/coverage and a lot of fans came in from being weaboos. I know from my days as a Anime/manga fan how much Japanese animation can get praised as "better then western animation" without a thought. I also realized more then half the Anime/manga fans didn't look past the most popular anime and were only there to look at the Bishi(spelling? its been a while since I had to write that abd "Shota" wasn't common then). Then again, I also realised a lot of the fan were also into anime because it was the "thing" to be in.... =_=

But still, it does make everything relative the more you realize vocaloid isn't a isolated case. And then there are those who think liking Vocaloid means you're a weaboo and they hate Miku because she is about the only Vocaloid they know.... their not Vocaloid fans... So how would they have heard of Big Al? I remember a lot of the insults throw at the Vocaloid fandom for "high pitched vocals" ere easily countered with Big Al. :-/
