Pretty much all of the languages are going to have rough starts. English didn't start picking up until like after 2010 and were pretty much being bashed for a while. Japanese boomed when Miku was released in 2007 (and remember that Kaito sunk like a rock in the beginning). Then we have the Korean and Spanish VOCALOIDs which I don't really have to describe. Then Tianyi was kinda like... okay. Chinese VOCALOIDs kinda started flourishing a lot better later on once people started getting the hang of using them and composing more originals. But there were some initial problems where some people didn't like Tianyi because "she's a communist pig" and all that, so it's not like she had a perfect start... (then you had all the YANHE hate in 2013)
