i mean... if i was barraged daily by hundreds of people commenting stupid questions like "is Hatsune Miku an anime??" i'd probably come to the same conclusion. and a lot of people think of vocaloid as a "robot anime" thing, so the people who get really into it despite that are into the "robot anime"ness more than all the technical stuff. not trying to be rude but its just a regular opinion to have of the fandom, unfortunately. personally i havent met someone who likes Vocaloid that isn't also an anime or tech nerd in some way.
Ms. Angel Emfrkmvcfdfbl just leave people be, please.
