Hmm... I wouldn't say it's too bad to like TDA models, though for me, it depends on who makes said TDA edits. I'm still not too big of a fan of the actual style nowdays, since it is too overused and makes it way less unique than what it used to be... that, and even after some edits, it's extremely hard for me not to see the original Miku model in each and ever one of them.

But when I get over some of that feeling, I think of it like this: if it's something like blatant TDA Append hair/body swaps (even so far as to neglect making the eyebrows the proper color of the VOCALOID/character that's attempted to be "TDA'd"), I just pull my hair out over the lack of effort even more (so much so to the point I just outright ignore any videos or content they're used in). But for those where there's actual work done in making the model look more like the actual VOCALOID/other character intended, even down to facial feature tweaks and fine details, I actually have no qualms with those edits. (In fact, I've actually downloaded a select few that are quite nice and more unique looking than a lot of the "run-of-the-mill" edits... haven't used them with anything yet, but only because of lack of time and tech issues I've had lately.)

Though, in the end, it does come to personal tastes. ;-)
