Raiden

Character from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (special edition version of SoL) and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

On of the most under-rated characters from a western standpoint. Hated by immature little kids who whined that he was "gay" despite having a girlfriend. Also, these people were desperate to play as the more manly Snake, which makes their sexuality questionable.

In MGS4 he's taken over the role of the game's "Cyborg Ninja", and is apparently no more than a head and spine kept alive in a special exoskeleton.

Generally he's a pretty good character. Personally, I didn't hate him at all in MGS2. I was surprised to suddenly be playing as him but I was mature enough not to throw my toys out the pram because it wasn't "my spweshial snake!"
Whiner: Waaahhh, Raiden's so gay, I wanna play as Snake!

Me: If he's gay how did he get a girl pregnant and why did he show no signs of having a romantic interest in men?

Whiner: He has long hair.

Raiden

A charcter from Metal Gear Solid 2. Not gay like all the ignorant homophobes say he is. He was designed to appeal to japanese women who like preety boy characters. Most say he's a whiner despite the fact that he doesn't whine that much. I bet if Snake was the main character and had the exact same script and story as Raiden, people would love him and praise everything about him just because he's manly. Some hate Metal Gear Solid 2 just because of Raiden, which has got to be the dumbest reason ever to hate anything.
Insecure guy's opinion: wtf why am I playing as bitch boy Raiden!?!?!?! Omg dis game suckz. he's so gay.

Intelligent opinion: Wow I thought Raiden's story was very moving. The codec conversations with Rose really helped develop his character. Raiden is a great main character. What he looked like a girl? I hardly noticed because I don't care about appearance in people. I want to see their character, not looks.
