Hello Kitty is no sexist.

The cute cuddly white cat from Sanrio Co., usually seen on toys and jewelry for girls and young women, will soon adorn shirts, bags, watches and other products targeting young men, company spokesman Kazuo Tohmatsu said.
"We think Hello Kitty is accepted by young men as a design statement in fashion," he said.



The feline for men products will go on sale in Japan on Wednesday and will be sold soon in the United States and other parts of Asia, according to Sanrio.
The usual bubble-headed shape of Hello Kitty was slightly changed for a more rugged, cool look to appeal to men in their teens and early 20s.
For example, a picture of the cat on a ¥4,095 black T-shirt has the words, "hello kitty," instead of the usual dots for the eyes and nose.

I'll still pass!!

Put this in the "General" thread and not in "Akihabara", since Hello Kitty is more known as a "product" than an "anime".

Well, it would probably get a guy some female attention, even though they might think that he's...well...you know.

OMG~!!! I LOVE HELLO KITTY~!  So of course I think this is awesome~! But I can already bet some random American parents are gonna be like "OMG! That t-shirt has an image of Hello Kitty flipping us off! Off the shelf now~!" ;.; Cause they're lame like that. But whatever I think it's cute!!! If I was a guy I'd rock it~! And if I had a boyfriend I'd buy him the shirt

Hello Kitty loving guys are sure comfortable with their sexuality...

As long as you still have an outline of a kitty, I doubt this'll work fully

Especially since she still has the giant bow! 

And is she like... thinking about her face in that t-shirt? That's just an odd concept all together.

I actually think/know this will be VERY popular..
Most Yankii boys & girls (high school yakuza wannabes) all dress now in blue "puma" sweatpants with "Hello Kitty" sandals, so this will not be a stretch at all..
Now, I'm not talking about a handful of young punk ass teenagers, there are TENS of THOUSANDS that wear this shit now.. It's almost a fuckin' uniform for them now.. (like most Japanese people with fashion, they have the mentality of sheep, and just follow the flock)
