If anything the Vocaloid fandom at least is starting to discourage it. I know of a Scotland OC that's still going around for Hetalia, that is a very basic edit of the England character (Think the controversy around the female characters for Frozen, and how they feel the same despite their differences), but yet it is highly praised as a well done OC as opposed to one that was actually thought out, in personality as well as design.

The one other thing that annoys me specifically about the Vocaloid fandom though is the reaction to Kagami Kawaiine, whose debut was fun at the time but people caught on the bandwagon and made more "annoyloids" to accompany. Which makes you think whether you may as well categorise them as "bad ocs" even though they're made just to mock them.

At the end of the day though this still comes back to the fandom bug that is the "2010" craze in which either people stay in that phase or newbies have the unfortunency to dive right into it because of those people who still latch onto it. OCs can be fun I do agree with you on that but even so I wish they were treated differently in this fandom, given the awkwardness to make an OC that's treated like it's for a series, when all Vocaloid is is a software line up.
