thanks for sharing but it is really not my genre
I just can't stand the "adult woman talking/singing in a breathy small child's voice" style that's so popular in Japan, and Hatsune Miku is that squared.
Edit: here's a related article for anyone curious about why that phenomenon may exist. In a nutshell: gender inequality.
The article claims there is a correlation between gender gap and high-pitched voices, but it does not imply causation.
Also it's simply not true. There's lots of countries where gender inequality is significantly higher than in Japan (look at any african country basically, or Muslim countries), yet women there don't speak with such a high-pitched voice, IMO.
Apart from that, the article gives me serious "beauty is oppression, and flirting is rape" vibes. Like the kind of messaging that is typically provided by nowadays "feminist" outlets who do in fact not focus on the social and socio-economic goal of improving the position of women in society as we/they are (fair-ness or true equality), but instead tries to focus on same-ness and abandoning that women dress pretty because oh no, she does that because she's pressured by men in a patriarchic society to do so.
The article outlined reasons for that to be happening in Japan, and references India for similarity, it didn’t imply that that is a universal response to gender inequality, simply that the reason for that specific phenomenon in Japanese culture is likely because of gender inequality, which seems more than a reasonable conclusion to me, especially when you look at the 80’s business woman culture era and how there was a decline in that specific behavior.
Also, I’m very much not seeing what you’re saying about your interpretation of feminism being present in the article. Gender inequality is a thing, objectively, to address that as a part that plays relevance in any given context doesn’t require feminist values.
