The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of vocaloid

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then vocaloid is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

The goblins have long maintained that vocaloid is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of vocaloid, and never once regretted the exchange.

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about vocaloid becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
