I guess

But...They're not. Aesthetically speaking, they're worlds apart, with glossed armor and heavy suits underneath, large helmets with separated eyes, and more details extending past the torso.

In all honesty, Rider figures should end up more associated with Ultraman, aesthetically speaking.

Honestly comic book superheroes always had more in common with Power Rangers than Kamen Rider did to me.

The only real similarity to me was that they both wear helmets.

*sigh*
I get that too. I also remember when someone saw my Mazinger Z figure and ask what Gundam was that lol.

Well, they were both made 5 years apart and diverged thier styles from there. And for casuals to recognize a Rider as a Ranger must mean something right?

Pretty sure we're not a known enough fandom to really have a stereotype.

I tell someone I'm into tokusatsu and I get a blank stare.

we're really mellow about different opinions.

"I like this thing"
"I like other thing"
"okay."
"okay."

^ That's a really good thing imho and I prefer it by far over the horrible fights in the Sailor Moon fandom.
