Unpopular Opinions

[AlienSpooN]

i'm not sure if these are unpopular, but here they are anyways

~I don't really like Aoki Lapis' voice, it sounds a bit like a chipmunk to me. I do like that she looks like a ring pop though

~I don't mind seeing "hate" comments on songs I like, because I personally like getting constructive criticism. as long as it isn't spam

~in most cases I really avoid listening to songs using Voicebanks such as Ia, ONE, or Zola project. not because there's anything wrong with them, just because of the crazy lore behind the characters.

~CosMo@BOUSOU-P and LamazeP are gross

~i don't like VanaN'Ice, the way Len is portrayed in most songs feels a bit creepy to me

~Arsloid's design is a fashion disaster

~i like it when people express negative feelings in their songs. its nice to find something that you can relate to when you're feeling down, it really makes you feel seen. I don't find it "overly edgy," "repetitive," or "trend-hopping."

What do you mean by that? Not trying to be mean, I'm simply curious for your reasoning.

@Bookworm2 CosMo has made multiple loli/shota songs, and Lamaze has made a lolicon song as well

the first one feels like a personal attack.

I avoid SynthV songs like the plague ESPECIALLY if they use Tetos vb, I've talked about this before so I wont go into too much detail but something about the vbs are so uncanny

I feel like the rise of people headcanoning Teto as chubby / fat is a prime example of how common fatphobia is in not only the Vocal Synth community, but in the English speaking fanbases for Japanese media in general. Like... I thought having headcanons that come from a place of making fun of characters for their appearence instead of the want for more Vocal Synths to have the traits we and our friends have in real life and the appreciation of those traits was something that we stopped doing in the late 2010's.

A good chunk of the more comedic artwork with this headcanon I've seen get popular are... extremely mean spirited? Always pointing Teto's weight out in comparison to Miku (who's always thin) and making fun of it, as well as often characterizing her as lazy and/or a glutton for bread, with the framing that's why she's fat (ignoring there's many contributions that could lead to weight gain besides inactivity and overeating).

Engaging with the writing of fat liberation activists while i was doing reaserch to help me write my own portrayal of a Vocal Synth being plus sized, alongside my own experiense and feelings on this topic, gives you a new perspective on how accepted and quirky its seen as, even though "making fun of physical appearences" is otherwise universally seen as a low blow.

besides... i don't even know how teto being lazy became such a common headcanon? i always saw her as working extremely hard for years prior to getting her big break in au's where i portray her as human.

... For a much less loaded unpopular opinion, I really wish KAITO V3 Soft was used more in original songs instead of V3 Straight. I think his softer voice is just way better for a lot of the more recent songs I've listened to.
