Well, I think it wouldn't have any negative impact if we had none. They do not annoy me personally (although they are hard to avoid), but they do give a negative impression of the fandom.

That is where the Vocaloid fan = weeaboo misconception comes from. You have to dig deeper into the fandom to find places that are more sensible, either through more obscure Miku songs (or other popular Vocaloids), or more obscure software. If you are just giving the fandom a passing glance, you will come across the popular areas first with more weeaboos, and make an assumption.

Do not think that because I say most of Miku's fans are weeaboos that I am casting myself above you because I dislike her. All Japanese Vocaloids with anime-styled mascots are a portential drop-in for weeaboos. Miku happens to be the most popular of them, with the highest amount of 'non musician orientated' stuff about her (e.g concerts - the whole 'virtual diva' aspect). Therefore she has the highest concentration of Japanophiles.
