Even if a Vocaloid is dressed "sluttily" (for lack of a better term) their boxes don't portray them that way. Yes V3 Gumi shows some cleavage, but at the same time it's not like she's leaning in with a seductive look on her face; or really anything nearly as bad as what we get from a good 70% of anime. She just jumping around having a good time with a giant smile on her face. I think the Vocaloids are designed to look more "hip" and stylish than they are to look sexy. People don't want to buy something that looks like it just took a trip through their Grandmother's closet, advertisers know this. Companies know Vocaloids need to appeal to a young audience, and thus, that's how Vocaloids are made to look. There really aren't any Vocaloids that appear too be over their late 20's (save for Uekiloid) it would just be dumb to not have them look like popular idols. Isn't one of the reasons Miku became so popular is because she was made to sound like popular idols, so why not have the look to boot?
