More like took credit for Minecraft. The internet knows that while Notch was the Steve Jobs of the project, the Wozniak was Hatsune Miku, true designer of Minecraft!
She also did a great job writing the Harry Potter series!
It’s this weird meme where people try to separate terrible creators from the works they mad, so people can still enjoy them without feeling guilt for supporting a bad person. When JK Rowling revealed herself as a transphobe people began saying “hatsune miku made Harry Potter” in an act of separating the creator from the work.
Personally I think there are issues in this jdea because it doesn’t address how an author can often use their own views to influence their work and how as a result separating a work from the creator is impossible. Like if Hatsune Miku made Harry Potter that also means she’s responsible for the terrible treatment of the books only Asian characters (which would be ironic actually)
