And like you said weaboo's and other crap... That's kind of different, the Yandere-chan thing is more like how people who haven't read/watched One Punch Man will recognize " One Punch Man" than the main character's name which is Saitama. Most people irl who hear "Vocaloid" will think of it as colourful anime style virtual idols instead of a voice synthesis software which is what it actually is, because the former is what they know of Miku as. Similarly people tend to generalize the entirety of Vocaloid just based off Miku, so they jump to the conclusion that every Vocaloid has a squeaky high pitched voice like Miku when there are deep vocals like Big Al, Gackpo, Sachiko, etc. And Tonio

It would be funny if all the other vocaloids besides Miku gave up singing, since they were tired of people going "huh?" when they heard their names
