Everyone is entitled to their opinions, arguments therefore happen. However, in the process of asking everyone to be polite, lets not fall into the trap of adding more to a discussion that could end by simply no one else contributing to it. Or, alternatively, getting everyone back on track by putting sensible comments out.

I'll continue this post as an example of how to keep things back on track.

The problem with the love/hate status fans seems to have with her is that Neru is what she is. With that in mind, as more and more Vocaloids are made, sometimes it feels almost like extras like her are being dragged along like access baggage and Vocaloid is forced to accept these things whether or not its needed. Things ike Neru and Haku, items and such like, they are all for fun anyway. To more then point, some fans put too much value on her to the point they even prefer her and Haku over offical Vocaloids. While this is not such a big thing as it seems, it does mean its harder to speak about certain thigns related to Neru without backlash and some fans feel you MUST be able to love her like a real Vocaloid.

She has a special place in Voclaoids history for being what she is, so there is reason to love her, however, you can avoid her just enough.

then you get something like this which although is nice, ?I do tend to feel its spoilt by the fact that its forcing things like Kaiko in there for the sake of it. Miku. Len and Rin loose some of their Append spotlight to other characters too, which is a shame. this is not done to any of the non-CFM Vocaloids. :-/

Whether or not you like Neru, you don't have to like her to like Vocaloid. :-/
