Now I'm not saying an RPG where the MC is between 18-49 wouldn't sell, but why do certain people make such a big deal about it.
For jarpigs it would just be nice to have variety. You can only do a plucky 16 year old so many times. Plus it theoretically opens up more character types, tropes, and stories to tell.

It's always either a teenager or a young man. I want a 10 year old boy so the demon king or whatever can sperg out about getting brutalized by an overpowered shota. Either that or an old man, never saw one either.

Many such games exist. You haven't played them because you're a hypocrite.
