Miku's not even the best introduction to Vocaloid, its often better to introduce folks to Vocaloid via the Vocaloids such as Prima, you know... the non-cute-anime-girl trope Vocaloids. I understand how weaboo anime fans can go after the Vocaloids though and given I came out of the anime fandom, into just One Piece and then into Vocaloid, I've seen some stuff. Its not uncommon for people to jump on Vocaloid because it appear cool and all for this reason.

For an ex-anime fan... Despite the fact I still read the One Piece manga (one manga does not make you a "anime fan", it just makes you a fan of that one), I saw some pretty bias and bigoted things in my day. The highest quality animation comes out of studios such as Disney, so when you hear people say anime is better then Disney... In some ways maybe... But not in everyway. So Vocaloid for its cute anime girls and guys will attract that type of crowd and people do get obsessed here in the west. There are people who buy this software purely out of obsession and while thats up to them... You can often tell they have done so because of whom they bought. The same crowd who brags how Len is the best Vocaloid are no better. For veteran fans, Luka tends to be the most overhyped.
