Direct imports are prohibited by the rules, I've seen people have their content shot down because they imported names/ideas/chars from other universes, and then there's Liberty using an actual RL (and controversial) politician as their figure.

That's a fair point. It's a tradition at this place, but not all tradition is good. I think that repeating what my character looks like in every comm thread would be tedious for me, though, so I use a picture instead.

Think about how weak-minded some people can be that they would alter their behavior because someone uses a politician whom they don't like.
