My honest Rant about Rinlen (aka Lenrin, Bananaorenji) + Whenever I ship Rin/Len with a vocaloid.
(I have a feeling that I'll get some criticism...but idc..)
Rinlen or either known as Bananaorange, Rilen, Lenrin, Lerin. Used to be a popular ship back in the first times of Vocaloid fandom alongside with Kaimiku and perhaps of Meiluka.
Now whenever we see. About this ship. A majority of it hates the ship either bc of they look similar, twins (despite the fact that they aren't tbh) or it's just they have the same last name. A small part of it loves the ship. And there's a way way smaller part of the community that doesn't care about Rinlen/ doesn't mind the ship of itself.
And I'm one of the rare people doesn't mind Rilen or at least doesn't care. Why? You may ask. Because Vocaloids basically don't have personalities or canon relations (expect Anon-Kanon since they are both canonically twins)
Since we talk about this ship. Why people dislikes the ship?
1) They look the Same.
Just because they look same? Well. Yeah they do look the same but who cares? All humans are related whether the skin colour that u have. All of us are siblings. Let me show some couples that kinda look similar.
Ichigo x Orihime for instance. They both have orange hair (thou Orihime's kinds look a bit brownish) but they both have smh same eye color!
And another example is Edward x Winry from FMA/FMAB. Again they look a bit similar despite the fact that their eye color are different. So the shade of blond/blonde hair.
2) They have the same last name.
Again. Vocaloid shows of us possibilities. So does Crypton. Crypton announced that they are mirror bendings but you can make their relationship different. In some songs they are twins right (aka Evillious Chronicles) or lovers (like Suki Kirai)
Just because they have the last "Kagamine" doesn't really change the fact. You can change of the character's surname like:
(L) Ren Hane or Rin Kuroyami
(Lmao goofy surnames...)
3) They sound the same. And have the same voice actor
Again? Guys. I mean Mirai Komachi and Rin sound the same. Ofc some vocaloids do kinda sound same..
Yall would cry for Fem! Ruko vb x Masc! Ruko vb singing magnet 😭😭😭😭.
4) Isn't Rinlen a bit Selfcest/Incest?
No. Rinlen isn't incest rather selfcest but again. You are the one who make their relationship. Whether u see them as twins. Yea its canon. If u see them as teenage lovers . Still cool. U can also modify a vocaloid's age whether u like. They can all be fetus <3
+ bonus thingy: Whenever I make a ship with Rin/Len...:
Whenever I ship a vocaloid with Kagamines. I technically ship the other kagamine with that loid too.
What I mean is....
If I ship LenPiko I also would technically ship RinPiko
As i see the fact that kagamines do have the "One soul in two different bodies" which one is represents Femininity and the other is Masculinity.
But again. These are my opinions. You can either agree, disagree or critize me. Okay bye-
