Why is American Kirby always so pissed off? Japanese Kirby is always cute and smiling but Kirby in the west is always mad, like he's going to kill your mom or something.

Because vidya is for boys, and they hate cute shit unless there's tude, and the simplest way to showcase tude is to make the pink puff ball angry.

Because Americans are uneducated, inarticulate, lack self-awareness and have absolutely no taste.

Kirby looks better angry unironically

Tude is short for attitude, basically mascot characters showing their "coolness" and how they want action.
Example of tude is Sonic tapping his feet if you pause controller input and jumping off the screen if you wait too long since he "has no time" for someone who does not keep the game going.
The late 90s were the peak tude era, where all those mascot platformers came out, RIcky Rodent, Aero the Acro-bat, Cool Spot, Awesome Possum as well with him constantly talking to the player... They all showed their tude and were results of developers trying to become the next Sonic.

It wasnt juat video games, it was everything for boys. Comics, cartoons, even 90s fastfood madcots got in on the attitude era.
Simpsons made fun of it best with the addition of poochie to "itchy and scratchy". A dog with an attitude was the original quote.
>and remember to recycle.... to the extreme!

The funny thing is that kids didnt actually respond well to any of this, it was jusy ad executives trying to be in touch with modern youth, and failing.
