How would you feel if someone you don't like used your utau?

Asking this due to morbid curiosity that's been eating me up.

What if someone you don't like used your utau and they genuinely like it. Whether the animosity you feel towards that person is mutual or not, they genuinely like your utau and even used them well.

Would your opinion of them change? Would factors such as how well they use your utau affect your change in opinion or them? Would how they are used (cover, chorus, original) also affect your change in opinion as well?

My opinion of them wouldn't change, but I wouldn't care if they used my utau. I would just ignore them and their work.

This is a really curious question ^-^
I don't dislike anyone in the community, actually ^^
If it was me, I'd be surprised that they would even notice my UTAU. I'd sincerely appreciate their interest. But maybe I still will not feel too comfortable about someone who makes me cringe using the voicebank. My opinion change about them? Not too sure about that yet ^^;

There are people I dislike for various reasons, and in some cases I wouldn't expect a usage of any of my voicebanks to have a good result. In that case, I would ignore it. In other cases, I would be worried about the depiction of the characters. But generally, I'd be highly confused if the feeling was mutual, and uncomfortable if it was one way.

Well, they using my UTAU wont affect anything, positive or not, I will still dislike them lol
I'd probably like their work with my UTAU, share it if possible, but that's all, nothing else.

If it's one way, i prefer to be quiet, i'll listen to their works and be like "Oh, ...ok." :ehhh:
If it's mutual, i'll be curious if they have something to do behind the works :orly:
But i appreciate them for have used my VB tho

Thankfully, I've not met anyone in the community I dislike so far, though, if I were in such a situation, I don't think that I'd really mind all that much, so long as they're not trying to slander me or go against my terms of service (for my UTAUloid that totally exists, lol :annoyed:). Also, it wouldn't change my opinion of them- rubbish people are rubbish people- they'd have to actually change as a person for my opinion to change. :sing:

My opinion is like @partial 's xD

No. It wouldn't change. Cause for me, first impressions last the most especially if i'm not close to that person...(kinda like headcannon-ing but eh)
But I guess I'd be happy that more people are using my utau...but I still won't like them...

If it wasn't used to poke fun at me I wouldn't mind at all. Though I agree with Skiyoshi that it wouldn't make me forgive them.

Considering how many people in the community really look down upon me, I'd be confused if someone I didn't like genuinely like and used my UTAU. So long as they're not using my UTAU in ways to spite me, I wouldn't really mind.

Basically the se as everyone else- I'd see it and then bitterly ignore it.

Now- if say- the dislike was mutual and they used my Utau to make them (or myself) look bad/as an attack in some way then fire would rain from the clouds.

There's only a few users I'm not fond of in the community, it ranges from a distaste to a cringe aspect almost(?) I've actually have had a user that I dislike use my utau before, and it turned out to be a push to "kiss my booty" and try to get me to use theirs.
I've never tried to ignore usage of my utau, even when it's done by someone I dislike. I'm thankful they spent time out of their day to use something I made, regardless of the reason (unless it was to slander etc.) Instead of being petty I've always said thank you and reshared it for others to see.
Not saying how others react is bad, that's just how I go about things : ' D

I haven't really come across more than one or two people in the community that I didn't like since for the longest time I wasn't very active. When I did start becoming more active I normally got along with people I did talk to. Theoretically, if someone I disliked did use my UTAU I'd find it odd but would probably be flattered regardless as it's still a usage of my bank (assuming they aren't using it to slander me or spread negative messages) I'd compliment them and move on.

Same person that was kissing up to Alice did the same thing to me. I dislike this particular person as well.
The person had talked about how much they hated my utau and constantly made fun of them and they even insulted me. Then suddenly, they started using my utau. I side eyed them, simply because I knew what they were doing, but I didn't mind it much, because they still used my utau, like Alice said, they took time out of their day to use my utau.

I'd probably have different feelings towards that person, but they could just be trying to sweet me up. I'd ask about it, and it depends, like do I just not like the person or have they purposefully done something bad to me?

If it were the first then it'd be petty for me to still flatout dislike them, I'd probably respect them more instead. If it were the second, I'd think this is my mortal enemy or smth beforehand so I'd be quite suspicious.

If they generally actually like my utau, but are still jerk to me, screw them, and I'd probably restrict them(lol jk that's not even possible)from using my utau,,, but if they were nice I'd think of them differently. Something to bond over, I suppose. Just because one is one's enemy doesn't mean friendship can't bloom. Same with hate, it's pretty similar to love it you look at it correctly lol

Yeah, I'd be worried that they might do something bad with my utau because they know it's mine, so they might try to do something degrading out of spite, making me a bit wary
