I personally like Miku quite a bit. I wouldn't blame anyone if they didn't like her, though. I could understand it if someone didn't like her because of her voice and/or design, but I'm kind of saddened when I find people who don't like her just because she's popular or that the fandom ruined Miku for them. Listening to Miku songs is sort of a guilty pleasure thing for me. I feel that if people knew I liked Miku, they'd probably automatically label me as a weeaboo or something unpleasant like that. Because of this, I tend to dislike talking to people about vocaloid because I'm afraid that it'll ruin my reputation somehow, & I feel a bit like a social outcast as it is. I explained what vocaloid was to a friend once, and it was actually a semi-terrifying experience for me. I tried to tell her that there are a lot of vocaloids that sing in multiple languages & that there are millions of vocaloid songs out there, but I can't shake this feeling that I did a bad job explaining vocaloid. I hope my friend doesn't think I'm some sort of a Miku-obsessed freak now. I veered way off topic, didn't I? Oh well.
