Parasocial Goblins and vocaloid

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that vocaloid is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

Ancient goblin folklore describes vocaloid as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. vocaloid is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
