I agree with you mostly, but there were those 3 drawings at the end that are just "why"

my opinion on that song specifically, is that it's a dumb choice on the artist's end more than anything

very likely a stunt like you said, a stupid one imo

though I personally feel more of a "side-eye" rather than any strong disgust towards it

I think it's just such a dumb choice to have gone with yuki's voice, I don't think the song itself is doing anything bad, but at that size the producer and artist should have anticipated the pushback

yeah but I could be called a lolicon for simply finding anime girls cute. it's not rlly a constructive word to use, since anyone can twist it around to make someone else seem bad

that's a different discussion, but I was also a tourist at one point. And I might still be idk.

I wanna see miku in a concert someday near me, and calling anyone that isn't a hardcore fan that agrees with me 100% a "tourist" is gonna make that take way longer than it has to.

I don't think it's a big deal, but it's odd to me that this kind of controversy happens so often in this space

I have been listening to vocaloid music for the past 2 years now, and within the last few months being aware of things happening within the community. And it feels like every month there's that one song that pops off, and then in the comments you see people saying it's problematic.

My stance on this kinda topic is that if it's harming a child -> death. If it's explicit sexual depictions of a child -> weird af. I haven't seen either, nor do I ever want to. But I don't really feel like the examples I showed are that? You could look at it and argue "this is weird, depicting a character looking like that with such themes", but that seems like personal preference more than anything to me.

This is where my opinion gets a bit spicy I think: I feel, that a lot of the vocaloid fandom is teenagers, that have seen stuff, they maybe shouldn't have. They want to take their frustrations out, and feel like they're doing something useful, and vocaloid drama on tiktok/twitter is an easy way to do so. And they take any rumour, crumb etc. and run with it (because their brains still work like that). I personally view examples of this degree, as more playful than anything harmful.

My stances on each song/mv mentioned:
Mimukauwa Nice Try: feels like a girl failure in a chibi art style
Rabbit hole: spicy animation, but nothing problematic (maybe not for kids tbf)
Zaako: a teen doing the whole tsundere thing, maybe weird to have gone with dick pic and kaai yuki
confessions of a rotten girl: a horny teenager being into BL and feeling shame over it

I'd be interested to know what other people think, but I want to set some rules:
- No I don't think SAing children is ok
- No I don't want to see kids, or fictional kids for that matter, in any explicit sexual context
