Pairings
Could you please grow up and get married before telling people who should be together or not?
Honestly, I've seen people arguing that GakuGumi is better than GakuKa(don't ask me why I chose this name), or KaiMiku is incest(?!) Or pedophilia while KaiMei is canon.
How can vocal synthesizers, whose ages were made just for marketing being paired together incest(?!) Or pedophilia, Some songs need blends so they use GakuKa while some need contrast so they use GakuGumi, it's fine if you don't like the ship but you should have the decency to just say "I like the cover" and not add that you don't ship it.
Do you think the artist would make the songs with hi preferred voicebanks if they see that they being together is disliked?
As for Incest(?!) Only Anon and Kanon, Aoki and Lapis, Hime and Mikoto are siblings officially but you can still potray them however you want!
And don't get me started on Rin and Len, this stupid debate should've been dropped in 2012(Lol I wasn't even in the fandom then) but yes the initial idea was for them to be twins, seeing their default harmony and that they could be paired as lovers, looking at you HitoYama, CFM decided that they would be "A girl and her mirror image" you could think of len as someone sent to Rin to stand by her forever.
For the Pedophilic KaiMiku part, IT'S NOT!
Pairings were not even brought to this genre until Dear You by Kaito and Miku came out, being imagined as a middle aged man in one manga that's explicitly stated to be unofficial doesn't mean he is, AND LOOK AT HIM, IT'S AN INSULT TO CALL KAITO OF ALL PEOPLE MIDDLE AGED! HE LOOKS AND SOUNDS YOUNGER THAN KIYOTERU WHO'S 22! His age bracket is also not decided (also KEI the maker of Hatsune mix didn't even draw kaito on his boxart). I ship based on characters history and if they have something that sets them apart! Kaito fans know very well he was declared a failure, he would've been discontinued if Miku didn't save him, after he went into his own rediscovery because of Dear You and A response to Hatsune Miku, Kaito's Another series came out, where he would make responses to miku's songs like Deep sea girl : another (he saved her from depression), Romeo and Cinderella : Another (he didn't give up on her) and who can forget World is Mine : Another (literally puts up with a himedere), I moved on from KaiMei to KaiMiku for these reasons and learned about 'Made for Meiko' afterwards and these real world facts seemed to trump one line. Even if KaiMiku is one of my 4TPS, KaiMei is something I enjoy.For RinLen, I wouldn't have shipped them until I thought "These two would've gone through so much" and that's it, I shipped RinxLen they are also Counterparts like KaiMei(only complementary voicebanks) but what sets them apart for me are the struggles they would've gone through if they were real and love culminates through this, and ofcourse I still enjoy deep voiced LenKu and KaiRin( Rin is an excellent partner for him).
VYA is something that makes me curious because how hard I try I can't see them as having only one set personality, but still the thing that sets them apart is Yuuma's popularity, he's adored and IA isn't as popular as him and that makes me think "she would've tried to stay away from him to let him and herself grow but he insisted growing together would've been better", I still enjoy VYmi because her human voice is too cute to deny.
GakuKa is a peculiar case, nothing sets them apart but this is a personal choice, I had the worst day and I thought "Youtube" and somehow I ended up on Ggrks, and I was stunned gakupo fit my imagination of him and also that even after appearing dominant, luka is the one who leads, after that gakupo became the goofball moron instead of Kaito, Kaito is just oblivious.
There you have it, my rant(?) And my reasons for shipping my 4TPs, if you want I can tell you what else I ship and rant, but ofcourse you wouldn't even read it
