I agree with the fact the fandom is slowly changing.

I can remember being one of the few defending Engloids back in 2010/11, but now several others will leap in to defend not only them, but any vocaloid at times. The attitude towards certain areas of vocaloid certainly have matured. Sadly, things like eVocaloid still don't get much attention, and trhe western fandom in particular has less overall interested in the Vocaloid cloud space service, be it... Its yet to come in non-Japanese yet, but they have no interest in its early developments yet.

It also still lacks some degree of acnowledgement of the impact of things like Pocaloid, turns a blind eye to certain subects... But as a whole... I think the fact people know things like the Kagamines relationship is annoying and don't want to constantly talk about it now, or that they are getting berate about other vocaloids not getting enough attention, does mean its starting to change. Things like Miku popularity, or Male vocals, still need some time for further maturing, but the fandom is still waking up to Vocaloid outside of the CFM vocaloids.

I think a lot of the first set of posts here rushed to put down the fandom for things when I think there have been worst things occur in other fandoms. And... I think my "6 out of 10" rating was the highest the fandom should be rated.

If the fandom had no issues, it would either mean the fandom is too small, or that its subject matter was too 2D.
