To be honest, I feel all this is stupid since this is the vocaloid fandom and everyone will complain no matter what.

WHat if the character is black?

Then you'll see fans complaining that looks punkish and not poppy like the vocal is.

What if the style is anime? "Too much kawaii designs"

What if the style is like Mario Wisibono's? "Looks like Sims, Final Fantasy character"

What if is white? "White privilege patriarchy 'murican perpetuation of whitesh whitish"

What if looks like a male? "Too tomboy"

What if looks like female? "Too much girly designs"

What if looks alien? "Is not realistic at all"

What if has short hair? "Looks like a male"

What if the hair is craaaaazy like Maika's? "Pigtails are Miku rip-off"

What if the character is realistic sized like Tohoku Zunko? "Fat"

What if have skinny legs like Iroha or Chika? "Skinny"

What if the design is just a microphone? "This doesn't look like a vocaloid"

What if the design is a stock photo? "Not anime enough"

What if the design is latino-looking? "Is an english vocaloid, not latinamerican"

What if the design is a black box? "To much black"

What if the design is a green box? "Too much green"

Last thing western companies care is the design, since is just promotion and mascot culture is something only exploided in Asia. Here in the west, average people care about quality and price. Only in Japan they need cartoons on packages to make the product "appealing".

That cultural difference is something 90% of the vocaloid fandom still can't understand.
