Why is the western fanbase the one most obsessed with powerlevels?

Because it sells to kids
It's not like there hasn't been a culture revolving around the most powerful entity too.
It started with "Could Capeshit A beat Capeshit B" and migrated.

Germanic heritage.
>Because it sells to kids
This seems to be the right answer. It's merely an extension of the superhero fantasy that westeren kids, for generations now, are already familiar with.

My dad could beat up your dad.
What makes you think that Japan is also not into powerlevels?

OP claimed the West was "the one most obsessed". Not that the Nips didn't like powerlevels.

Americans have that wicked culture about idolizing the winner and hating the loser. Notice how their sports can't even end in a tie.
So it's natural that they make a cockfight about everything.

>Why is the western fanbase the one most obsessed with powerlevels?
Because in the West, especially America, "Might makes Right".
"If you are powerful, it is because you are just, loving, kind and moral. Being more powerful means you are a better person. Thus, you need your hero to beat other heroes, because if your hero can't beat up other people how can he be good Good guys can't lose, only bad guys lose. So my guy can beat your guy because I need my guy to be morally superior."
This is caused by many things. One cause is American Exceptionalisim, that USA is great because Americans are Master Race. One other cause is American Evangelicals, where it is taught their God is just fair BECAUSE he is allpowerful.
The idea that someone can be weak and lose, and yet not be evil, is difficult to accept for many Americans.

This, plus social Darwinism.
Why do you think the Western comics (Marvel/DC) are all about capeshit, saving the Earth, growing powers, heroes that evolve, die and come back to life via asspulls? It's the embodiement of the American culture and way of life, the one that spread in the West after WW2.
Having a big car as an phallic extension, having a big house, showing off your wealth. It's all about who has the biggest one. Hence powerlevel shit.

Why are you obsessed about fanbases?

Color scheme, I'm guessing.
>>134708044
Insecurities and what not. People like to hide behind powerful characters.

Also this is why the giantess fetish is more prevalent in the USA than in everywhere else (except maybe South Korea, but for all intent and purpose it is the worst of USA distilled).
'My woman is better than yours, she's literally 50 foot better than yours and can topple building and eat people.'

Japanese fans seem pretty obsessed with powerlevels considering the level of autism some of their series have.

They're still a bit more humble. Aside of the usual Vegeta-like rival who keeps getting triggered about MC being stronger defeated oponents usually act more graceful than in western works, also is more often plain power doesn't solve conflicts excpet in children anime.
Because the west didn't fully embrace the joy of watching cute girls doing cute things yet.

Probably its also the reason capeshit watchers and /v/tards are so angry all the time
SOLs just always bring a smile to my face
