vocaloid as the Goblin Big Bang

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described vocaloid as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking vocaloid to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

Marginalia: silence

The most recent goblin opinion piece on silence concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

Marginalia: bibliography

There is a goblin who, when asked about bibliography, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on vocaloid

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that vocaloid is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
