I really think that the only reason there's such a stigma in the states and other English speaking countries is because of Power Rangers and other Saban shows. Unless it's a comic book superhero, if there's a live action with someone in suit, they're automatically going to equate it to being a Power Rangers knock off and think it's nothing but kiddy crap, which gets really tiring to hear. That's not to say that Kamen Rider is the epitome of dramatic shows, but it can still do it a lot better than Power Rangers has ever been able to.
B-Movie Creature Feature + B-Movie Kung Fu Film + Cornball Melodrama = Tokusatsu
...much better than...
Super Sentai + Kamen Rider + Metal Heroes + Ultraman + Godzilla + Gamera = Power Rangers, therefore is not tokusatsu.
