For the attention of the people trying to snort, roll their eyes and pass this off as a light hearted game - how do you think someone who isn't secure in their looks would feel if they saw that another member said they would 'avoid' them? They could receive hundreds of compliments but that one negative comment would be the thing they remember. Just think.

I have honestly, and I genuinely mean this, never seen the 'avoid' part of this game to mean that someone's ugly just that you'd avoid them because you don't like them. The other variation of 'kill' is the same kinda thing - the person out of the list that pisses you off the most. I didn't even know the 'avoid' was or could be taken to mean they're the least attractive of the three, I've certainly never taken it that way when I've played it and when or if I have been chosen for the 'avoid' option I've just seen it as they don't like/don't know me, certainly not related to physical attraction - because then I'd take offence too. So this is news to me (I don't mean that in a rude way, just I've never known the 'avoid' was or could be taken to mean ugly)
