I'm not bias to a point I don't respect and agree to her iconic status because none of us would be on this wiki if not for her, I just never found her appealing. I honestly don't see how this conversation is relevant to how she became popular. If you knew me more, you'd know I prefer deeper tones, more mature voices (especially masculine) and certain styles with my only Dark Horse being Macne Nana.

Its not a crime not to love and adore Miku, and honestly... If you want to judge me, note I overhauled the entire Wikipedia Vocaloid page in 2010 and contributed early on to a great deal of this wikias design and layout, which I'm proud that the newer editors took over and have vastly improved on my original designs. I fully support Vocaloid and its development and help set up other Vocal synth wikias to give the alternatives to Vocaloid a place wherein those softwares fans can do the same as we do here. The only wiki I've had almost no input on of the main synth based wikias, is the UTAU wiki. Heck I even made a number of the synths pages on Wikipedia and made the crude original vocal synth template to help connect a lot of the pages.

To cut it short, I'm 33 years old and I just don't find certain types appealing because I'm an adult. To me, if you tell me who I prefer of Kaito and Len, I'd go for Kaito. That's all. If I was a teenager... I'd go more for Len but still like Kaito, and Tonio or Big Al wouldn't appeal to me, whereas those two are my top 2 Vocaloids.

If you want to criticise me or even go so far as to call me not a true fan if you please... Just bare in mind what I have said and really use some tact in your next post. The wikia is a place wherein fans of all Vocaloids can mingle together, and while we do occasionally have our cribs and bad habits ("Len is the Greatest Vocal!" can be a red rug to a bull for some of us to debunk why he isn't because of the Kagamine rep)... We are not expected to like the same things and the wikia is set to promote the overall Vocaloid software. Most fans would appreciate that the wiki does this.

In fact, even though some editors here adore Miku also, her page tends to get ignored and I end up adding a lot of merchandise from time to time that are missed. We're so used to having her in our faces we just don't "see" her anymore and its easy to miss things. In short, Miku's overall image has become mundane over the years and its lead to issues with people wanting to focus on other newer vocaloids or their other favourites because Miku too much.

As I said, my soul opinions do not contribute to the overall popularity of Miku and this is very off topic, the vast majority of fans of Vocaloid like her and that's all that is important.

This topic is for discussing how Miku became popular, not to criticise me for not adoring her and worshipping her. Its ludicrous to think every single Vocaloid fan has to do that too. If we liked all the same things, the world would be a very boring place.
