So what is it with the Japanese making dudes look like strange ladies
They're appealing to Japanese women, whose distribution of tastes in men's appearance differs considerably from that of American/British/French/German/Russian/whatever women.
It's the same in China et al. Their definition of a "well-groomed" or "sharply dressed" man would seem thoroughly homosexual to us. I will say that the "grizzled" masculinity of today isn't quite the same as the depiction of masculinity in, say, the 1950s and 20th-century pulp novels.
These really can't be overstated. Since Raiden was mentioned before, it does bear mention that part of the creative process behind Raiden was making a second protagonist appealing to the (Japanese) female demographic whose response to Snake could be summarized as "who is this unattractive scruffy old man." This is a pretty sharp contrast to the West, where if you look at Sexiest Man Alive sort of contests which are dominated by older men of the silver fox variety.Some women are attracted to slim, moderately muscled, clean-looking men (alright I won't make apologies for the hairstyles). Our roided out, buzzed hair protagonists with a permanent five o'clock shadow and all the emotions of a brick stem from 80s action movies.
Dunno about it being a cultivated thing entirely. I mean, chicks everywhere are super-into yaoi when they discover it. It's like the female equivalent of:I blame both Japanese and Korean Pop culture, in which boys bands still present and exert heavy influence. Also the manga's shoujo genre is contributing its own heavy influence, with women's preference for girly men.
Shoujo genre is important because its artists and readers also affect the games' artists. So they like to draw/make girly men characters.
Compare that to US culture where boys bands fade, and no equivalent to shoujo genre in comics.
I personally don't understand what's feminine about these guys though. Do they wear skirt? No. Feminine colored clothing? No. Are they docile, stay-in-the-kitchen guys? Nope. They even have well-defined muscle that in real life can only be achieved by regular workout. Of course old men who doesn't clean their excess body hair are ugly. Why would women want them?

There is popularity of a
men's bra in Japan.
Most men's bra are sold on the Internet.
Because they are men who put on bra, they are called "Burao(Bra man)".
Burao's spirit is steady by wearing the bra.
Though I do not understand, they might feel happiness by wearing the bra.
It is wonderful to feel happiness.

Last one looks kind of fruity to me, he is even wearing a bra that whole armor not protecting the midriff trope in weeabooo stuff needs to end.
Looks fine to me.
