Actually, Kojima explains the origin of Raiden in Metal Gear Saga Vol. 1. They had a group of high school girls give of their explaination why they wouldn't play MGS and what would make them play MGS. Reason why not: Would never play as a macho-man character like Snake. Reason why they would: A feminine-like character. Thus, Raiden was born.
/facepalm needed.
Although I never really had a problem with Raiden myself.
