Okay this is getting silly...

I'm just going to say it... Do any of you think I'd stoop so low as to undo edits anyway if people change the word? I'm just against forced choices of words.

I don't want to loose the ability to use "mascot" where its suitable just because someone doesn't like the words use. 9/10 I find "character" doesn't carry the same weight as "mascot", especially when it comes to conveying the concept behind Gackpoid, Megpoid and Gachapoid having two names one for their avatar and one for their vocalbanks.

This is what I'm trying to say. Why change what we have? Its what Kim doesn't grasp.

also while we're on the matter Serza, what I'm just saying here is because this is heading to the direction of people being forcing the word off the wikia, we've got to bulk edit a lo tof pages. Right now, we change words where suitable to other words that are more suitable.

Why fix whats broken; its not broken, all Kim saw was "mascot", the fact we use it a lot, the fact we defended it for our needs because we were advised to use it or "avatar", the fact things didn't get to change the word because alternatives didn't convey the same idea that "mascot" often sums up.

And as I said, until recent months no one argueed, so "mascot" got used everywhere. We can remove it over time at a easy casual pace if anyone wants to find better words, but a vote would force it off now.

Do you understand now why I'm making just a stand here? *sigh*

I'm not a admin or bureaucrat and I've always said "I'll go with the main vote" anyway, even when I was in the groups I had this view (unless it really was a bad idea and would put the wikia at risk, then thats when admins and bureaucrats have to say "no" to a vote). I'm just trying to get across here that this isn't going to benefit the wikia at all and is just amounting to a endless conversation with no major importance or anything to gain from it.

Theres no overall official word for the vocaloids illustrated avatars and until there is we have no reason to narrow our vocabulary down to a few select words.

Okay... I think I pretty much have said everything on this. Until someone has anything new to add I'm just going to step out of this discussion. There is a point in every discussion I feel typing isn't achiving but going in circles and I've pretty much got nothing to say that won't just repeating the same old junk. I've got to cut off somewhere... :-/
