Most races have this problem where it's not necessarily choosing the popular face because it's good, but because the other options are just generally bad for whatever reason. I mean, how often do you see a dadlander that doesn't use face #4?

That said, the default characters can also be....deceiving. I remember when ShB benchmark came out and some people were like eww Viera face #4 is hideous! gross! and like....no...? face #4 is gorgeous
