I've seen people complain that Proseka makes vocal synths too "corporate" but like... it's brought a bunch of producers back and commissions new songs from popular and lesser known producers all the time as well as running contests so brand new or up and coming producers can also get in, it's like the best thing to ever happen (considering Project Diva isn't exactly the best with the whole "adding new songs" thing - Sekai not being limited to songs that feature only Cryptons has been really nice too). I get not being interested in the OCs, but nearly every single song has a virtual singer only version. Only some covers might not have the originals in, but pretty much all the new songs have Vocaloid only versions as tuned by the producer. So even if that's all one might care about, you can pretty much just go through the game listening only to synths. (Or just not play at all and only listen to the new music, which is probably the best of all worlds)

And introducing new people to vocal synths in general is never a bad thing either, but I've seen takes from even popular people within the community that they miss Vocaloid being "small and niche" like bro... that's how communities die and we all know just how common the "Vocaloid is dead" sentiment is/was. Now that things are picking up again you really want to go back to how things used to be? Really??

It just baffles me. It doesn't really matter to me if someone likes or dislikes Sekai, there's any reason to feel either towards it, but hating it because it's... actually financially supporting producers from the community and introducing a lot of new people to vocal synths as a whole really isn't it.

(Sorry for the rant, I've just had these thoughts for a while now every time I see the topic come up on twitter or something OTL)

Man, I didn't realize people were so... I guess "elitist" over how someone gets into Vocaloid (but then again, the only fandom people I follow are good acquaintances I've run into in other online spaces). I'm in a non-Vocaloid Discord and the gaming channel is flooded with people actively sharing their ProSeka screenshots. I'm not really into ProSeka myself but it makes me happy to see people so excited about the music and the characters lol. I'm just like "hello??? ProSeka players in this random server??? Omg so cool!"
I think it's great ProSeka has introduced Vocaloids to a new crowd that might not have been reached before!
