This one has a poll. That thread does not. XD
I think most people don't mind the in-game Pericles because they are unfamiliar with the Real Life Pericles. Or how people look when they are in their 60s. (Hint, not that different from when they are in their 50s, especially on a Mediterranean diet and a healthy lifestyle of combat.)
Teddy Roosevelt on the other hand.....yeah, upset enough people to make Roosevelt go on an intense weight loss program for the in-game representation.
