Goblin Ragebait: vocaloid Edition
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 connection between vocaloid and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
