Also when people like to make her sound too high and robotic and that some people actually pretend they are stupid and that they think shes the first when they know better but they just are racist weeaboos or hate Meiko. and when a lot of people think they know everything about vocaloid just because they know her.
 * 1) Miku is used for a lot of songs -period- not just horror. When people go on about how often Len dies, they neglect that Miku dies more then both (and this isn't with the fact Rin dies more taken into note). She has like, 40,000+ original songs, 100,000+ songs together on Karen-T.  And this is a number now 3 whole years OUT OF DATE.

Sure, Miku ends up sing more of every single genre of music overall - not just horror - because she ends up being used 10x more then any other vocaloids. Really, she gets 700+ uploads (1,000+ altogether) currently a month more on average then her next current rival, who only gets 300+ uploads on average.
 * 1) Derivatives are CFM's thing they do to promote their fandom. Its a dying trend among Japanese producers because few take off or get any attention anymore, especially now their are about 60+ Vocaloids in total and only CFM promotes this stuff. The overseas fandom ares more about this stuf only because its about 5 years behind the Japanese one and is still learning about Vocaloid.
 * 2) In regards to making Miku sound robotic; Sad Machine, this happens with any vocaloid. This is Producer user preference.
 * 3) Also in regards to the vocaloid itself, miku's not a realistic Vocaloid, she was just the easiest to use in V2 and had the most popularity. This is why she ended up popular also in V3, because her solid rep and popularity sold her.  Can't fault a vocaloid if its design is too "perfect" for the task and she was expected to not much more popular then Meiko.  So they were expecting about 3,000 sales in a year and were shocked when they got it before she was even released.
 * 4) "the first" isn't always the fans fault. Its partly the way Miku is promoted.  She was introduced by CFM as their first vocaloid, true since Yamaha made Meiko and Kaito.... Even when they introduced Miku to the overseas! Top it off, people fix on the "01" on her arm, and the first her name means "first sound of the future", among other things.  Miku's overwhelming popularity basically means she sells herself to more Vocaloid noobs then any other vocaloid.

And the trouble is with a noob is your left hoping they can type in something "www.google.com" and write "Vocaloid" into the search engine of their choosing. I've come across it on Deviantart, people who don't want to do research. Its either because they is too much to take in or they can't be bothered. While nativity is considered a sign of innocence, ignorance is not; when a fan first learns what vocaloid is, they are naive... Its when they never get past this stage it goes over to ignorance.

Also, "stupid" isn't ness. why they do it... Bare n mind the vast majority of fans are young/mid teens overseas all the way up to young adults.
 * 1) While weaboos are a problem, this isn't just a Vocaloid thing... Hating on Disney for not being Japanese is another example- despite Disney producing some of the highest quality animations in the world. But... From my days as a anime fan I learnt a LOT of whats behind weabooism, particularly from americans. As one person said, all they knew growing up was American things, they had patriotism drilled into their head. When they saw an anime for the first time it was a breath of fresh air, basically it was something "different".  Thus they were attracted to it because it wasn't the usual stuff they were exposed to. When something is different, force of habit can lead you to believe its even "better" then what your used to, causing you to love it blindly.

On the other hand, people also hate anime for the same reason, because its different and therefore they fear what they do not like or have closed their hearts to anything "new". Unfortunately, Vocaloid is seen as a sign of weabooism at times, ergo, all Vocaoid fans are "weaboos" even when their primary favourite vocalodis are never Japanese nor adorned with anime/manga characters (Being known as a die hard Engloid fan whose faovurite vocaloid is Tonio, no comment... ¬_¬').

weaboo is in regards to vocaloid, therefore, is only truly bad when it leads to bias favourism for one group of vocalodis based on origin/language and when it leads to hate against vocaloid itself.

Also again... weaboos are often young teens-adults. Its a "stage" they go through in a lot of cases. I speak from experience, many fans will only like anime/manga for a few years then move onto something else. I don't know many fans of anime/manga who were fans a decade later - myself included.

This is all I have to say.
