American men, by in large... younger men anyway... they are raised to be tough. Nothing goes against the image of tough more than some anime based, JRPG about 13 year old boys that look like girls.

I can't speak for the rest of the "west" but that's the problem in the US.

And yet it's those "tough" American men that helped to make a short, portly middle aged plumber in overalls and an elf-like boy in tights two of the most popular videogame characters of all time.

Not every character has to be a roid-raging, cigar-chomping, f-bomb dropping badass to be popular with American / Western audiences... but not every character has to look like David Bowie either...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
