Okay, so I suddenly changed my mind and decided to list my unpopular opnions anyway. Apparently I really need to vent today.

– Kiyoteru/Gackpo is my favorite ship by a very large margin.

– I dislike Kaito/Miku, Kaito/Luka, Miku/Len, Rin/Len, Gackpo/Luka, and Gackpo/Kaito. (And Kiyoteru/Yuki is the most abominable thing in the Vocaloid fandom period, but I really really like to think that's not an unpopular opinon. Please nobody tell me it is.)

– Some of my least favorite Vocaloids are Miku (except for her Solid and Dark voicebanks, I actually love those), Rin, Len, and Kaito V3 (though V1 is okay). I'm conflicted about Luka, Ia, and Yukari. I like their voices sometimes, but I frequently can't stand them and am also a little exasperated by their popularity.

– I don't like Oliver, Avanna, and all of the V4 Engloids.

– I think Big Al is the best Engloid ever, and Yohioloid is my second favorite.

– I really want Yuu, Kyo, and Wil to be considered three separate Vocaloids and not lumped together all the time.

– I feel the same way about Anon&Kanon, Rin/Len, and the "AHS trio", although those last two groups don't get in anywhere near as badly as the ZOLA Project and Anon&Kanon. I just really don't like multiple voices and characters being treated as one simply because they were released together.

– My least favorite producers are doriko, kz, Dixie Flatline, Honeyworks, Circus-P, and Empath-P. (To clarify, I have nothing against them personally. I just don't like their music.)

– While I love Hitoshizuku-P's chorus songs with 5+ Vocaloids, I actually don't like her solos/duets/trios as a general rule.

– I prefer basically every Vocaloid with their Brightness turned all the way up to 127 – it especially does wonders for Kiyoteru and Yohioloid, I've noticed. (I don't know if this is unpopular, but it's a major preference I have, and I've noticed a lot of songs where this is obviously not being done.)

– I think the age of the voice provider matters rather than the age of the character when it comes to ethical issues. Rin, Len, or even Ryūto singing sexual songs or being shipped with adult Vocaloids I have no problem with, but for Oliver or Yuki it's utterly intolerable.

– I don't think a song is automatically "bad" if it contains explicit sexual/gory content. While there are some songs that just use it for shock value and aren't that great musically anyway, I find those are in the minority and most are actually really good songs with meaningful lyrics, or are at the very least amusing. (Again, no idea how many people agree with me on this, but I've seen many automatically condemn any "explicit" song, and it bothers me.)

– I hate "shota" and "loli". They are not innocent terms, no matter what argument you try to use, and I regard anyone who says them casually as at least slightly creepy.

– I like to think of VY2 as literally being a sword who sings and see no need for a human avatar at all.

– I hate blond Leon. In general, I think a Vocaloid's race should match that of their voice provider.

– I think of Piko as an adult. Not a child, nor even a teenager, but an adult. He's based directly on his voice provider after all, who was in his early twenties when Piko was recorded. I don't like this trend of making him Len's age.

– I picture Kaito as being pretty short, as in shorter than every single male Vocaloid but Len, Ryūto, and Oliver. Yes, I imagine Piko being taller than Kaito. (And Meiko as taller than both.)

See what I mean about being here all day? I'm sure I'll edit this later when I think of more.
