With all the fuss made towards saving Galaco, I kinda felt "why?",

There was nothing special about her voice and we already had voices of the same type and for a LQ-MQ vocaloid, really odd. It seemed to be all about how "cute" her avatar was or how exclusive she was to it. She basically was the forbidden fruit and people panicked.

She is literally the only vocaloid whose fans have peeved me off to the point I'm put off of her. Mostly because I remember someone here putting the Engloids down as "LQ" at VO, when they support Galaco, who at the time was not yet revealed details on her update. She was the LQ Japanese vocaloid in the V3 area before her Neo version came out, so the comment was notable as yet another example of a fan having a form fo double standard... On the one hand, saying they hate 1 or more vocaloids for 1 reason, yet supporting another despite being of the same caliber. Like the comment a few years ago who said they hate nasally voices but loved V2 gackpoid (this was before V3 was even annouced), as others pointed out, Gackpoid was very nasally. :-/

On the other hand, its the only case of me supporting KEI's art over the re-done.

And I've said many a time, we were given confirmation that Galaco was being re-done long before her retirement... When it came to V1 Engloids we were told "thats all folks, their going, going gone!". And there is little way of getting them back. Why panic, make petitions and demand a continuation of one vocal, yet let 3 others pass into the grave without making a fuss about it??? Just because they weren't cute Japanese vocaloids doesn't mean that they weren't good vocaloids. As I said in the past... The loss of any vocaloid voice is more devastating as it means there are less options.

The things that happened with Galaco make every annoying Kagamine mean nothing.
