Line 100:
*** The cultural dissonance in video games between Japan and America is very noticeable in ''[[Nie R]]''. Two versions of essentially the same game were made and marketed distinctly for American and Japanese audiences. The American version has a gruff, hard male protagonist, while the Japanese version has an effeminate, sensitive male protagonist. Again, these two characters are, essentially, the same character in both games.
* Moogles in the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games seems to serve no other purpose than cutifying every where they exist.
* Western example: contrast the cutesy, ''kawaii'' designs of {{media-|Troca_kawaii.jpg| the Chinese truck}} in ''[[Track Mania]] United'' with, for example, the {{media-|Adri?Fern?ez.jpg| Adri?Fern?ez}}-{{media-|Carro_serio.jpg| like}} design of the Mexican stadium racer.
* The beta flash game Whirled has been having a war over this. Statics, avatars that are non-moving sprites or images, are fighting pretty much the other majority. Not including regular, Kawaii, Chibi (Famous artist: Kristie Kraiser, her site is www.insanitycentral.com), and the dreaded TOFUS(default avatars). [[Scare Chord|DUN DUN DUUUUUN.]]
