[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2953964, member: 36230"]You know what's even more embarrassing? People willing to throw aesthetics under the bus in favor of turning this hobby into yet another political statement. Apparently, the mere concept that a depiction of an otherwise fine person can indeed be ugly is simply too much for some to understand. Even the most beautiful women in the world sometimes look terrible, is a very simple part of the human experience, and isn't something you can change by virtue signaling or trying to shame those who see things differently than you do. Folks embracing such nonsense have already made countless people afraid to voice their opinion on pretty much anything out of the fear of being ignorantly labeled, so why not take the hobby down this slippery slope as well? After all, there's certainly no need for beauty in this hobby when PC pandering will surely draw in the masses. Guess what? The man was ugly, and if we remove revisionist fluffery, he also wasn't anything remotely close to the god-like figure many portray him as being. That said, and considering a coin [I]is[/I] a physical representation of the person, is it really so wrong to "focus" on this aspect?[/QUOTE]
