It originates from the Minecraft fandom, which was originally created by Notch… or so it seemed, it turned out he may have stolen the work from a woman under his employ. He also turned out to be a horrible person in general who kept doing blatantly racist and transphobic shit.
He sold the rights to Minecraft for a ton of money, and claimed it “wasn’t about the money”, when it totally was
Minecraft also saw virtually no updates under his tenure, just promises of updates that never came to be.
Basically Notch was a horrible person, so much so that when Microsoft realized they could legally remove Notch’s name from the credits of Minecraft, they did.
The fanbase, having largely sided with Microsoft (Who not only now owned Minecraft, but unlike Notch, actually updated the fucking game), declared that Hatsune Miku was the true original creator of Minecraft… Since then declaring Hatsune Miku the “TRUE” creator of something when a property is popular, but the creator of it is a horrible person, has been a go-to running joke of the internet.
Who is Hatsune Miku?
Hatsune Miku is a “Virtual Idol” from Japan created by the Sega Corporation. Essentially they made a software that could sing and make music, and then to promote this, they named the voice “Hatsune Miku” and drew a body for her… Various original songs advertised as being “By Hatsune Miku” herself were made to show off what the software could do and the campaign was so successful that in Japan she’s… well… like the Gorillaz, a famous musician that doesn’t actually exist.
So I’m saying “Harry Potter good, JK Rowling bad” when I say “Hatsune Miku wrote Harry Potter”
It’s a common internet joke.
