"How do you know that it isn't? It could be about that as well as a few other things including the desire for someone who better represents the community or it could be about none of those things, we really do not know." I should have clarified. I meant that this discussion ought not to be about whose work is better; I think that debate is pointless and kind of insults us all. I have no doubt that the admins would prefer the site be represented by work which more closely represents the prevailing, MP-friendly girl/sword/postwork aesthetic. For me (not speaking for anyone else), as I said, the issue is fairness--and nomenclature, to some degree. "I would much rather have seen toxicAngel win by popular vote than hope that the PTB decides that he wins" So would I. So would he (see the TA's post in the thread below). I'd rather the admins had a better-developed sense of fair play, and were less concerned with protecting appearances at all costs.
