Talk:Hatsune Miku/@comment-34155073-20190216043639/@comment-53539-20190216204057

19 years on the internet... Nothing changes much overall. Social networks come and go, hit video games, people, fandoms... when I entered the Vocaloid fandom, none of this was new to me. I literally got fed up with "The Japanese language is more exotic then English, why can't the major language of the world be Japanese?". I knew that was bias bs then, I know more about Japanese language now. I totally recommend a second language and everyone should learn one, especially languages like Japanese, but no single language is trying better then the other overall.

Though I will note that English is actually the more exotic language of Japanese and itself. Its complex with rules that it uses being broken by other words "I before E except after C" works most of the time... Then you get words like "Science". But to the weaboo... English is a dull and uninteresting language.

And this is one of the many things you just get fed up with hearing as an anime fan. Okay... Some of the things are right, but if you do a bit of research you find out truths that make you roll your eyes. With the Japanese Vocaloids being so popular and all, there really isn't a surprise that Japanese Vocaloids get favoured. And since Miku "represents Vocaloid", she gets used as an ambassador for the software often. I don't think there has been a week in 2019 where there has not been Miku related merchandise, its crazy right now. You only see something for the other CFM Vocaloids once a fortnight. Its easy to find people like the OP mentions for this reason. Miku is everywhere related to Vocaloid. For us who aren't a fan... I've not gone day in the last 9 years without seeing her face staring at me.

Lol, also Bunai put Miku in the wikis banner, so now I can't even log onto the wiki without seeing her. I once got accused of being a Miku fan, because I defended her popularity, there is no use denying she is popular. But the obsessed fans rarely spend time on her flaws and well... Even if you don't like Miku because of how things are you can accidently learn things about her... She is *that* in your face. And not only that... Whether you do like her not Vocaloid relies on sales of her releases as they bring in up to 1/4 of all Vocaloid sales sometimes. So you know she is here to stay and that if she doesn't sell well, it means Vocaloids in trouble.

The truth hurts. ^_^'
