I hope people really aren't this stupid. Or I hope you're being facetious because Squall clearly wins that contest if people vote that way.
How is that stupid? If the title of the contest is, "Most Attractive Character," it's logical to vote for the objectively most attractive character. Or course something like appearance isn't really objective, but it is in the sense that you can approach it from the angle of a typical person, rather than your individual angle. And I mean, it's beneath most people's dignity to vote for video game characters based on their personal attraction to them- as that requires them to be attracted to video game characters in the first place.
I do think Squall would do very well in such a contest.
