"OMG! Miku is not a lesbian!"

This is a complaint I see fairly often on Vocaloid-based yuri videos ("Miku" could just as easily be replaced by any other female vocaloid name).

Yes, and by that logic, she's not a princess or a tsundere or a murderer, either.

She's just a voice and a face! She can be whatever the user wants her to be!

A lesser IJBM is that I almost never see these kinds of complaints with yaoi videos... Double standards ahoy...

    VOCALOIDs are robots and thus,can't feel human emotions

    Also Miku's only love is BACON HOT-DOGS

    ^I see your point, but it's all the same fandom...
  • DonZabuDonZabu
    ^ Is it? What yaoi videos are you talking about here?

    And for that matter, what yuri videos?

    I don't get the obsession with the vocaloid characters beyond the context of the software.

    Do they even have some kind of story?

    AnneBeeche,

    I think part of the appeal is the fact that they lack a story (well aside from a manga) and so people can make vocaloid characters act however they want them to act (as Haldo said). I guess this is a bit of a stretch, but I feel like it is kind of similar to why things like LEGO, Minecraft, and custom character makers in MMORPGs are relatively popular.

    Oh, I see. I can understand the appeal now. Making stuff up is fun.

    If that's the case, why are these people so upset with other people depicting Miku as a lesbian? Your headcanon is no greater than somebody else's headcanon.

    else's headcanon.
    I think that's the point the OP was trying to make.

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    But if other people say she's a lesbian then that makes my hooking up with her slightly more impossible!
  • WaltzyWaltzy
    Then there's Acme Iku for that sort of thing~. ;D

  • MalkavianMalkavian

    Upon reflection my claim of the logic behind objections to Miku being a lesbian are probably untrue, as most of the objectors probably aren't male.

    Unless someone has evidence to prove me wrong.

    You can change. You can.
