What if we had a Real Life section? I've seen dictators get nasty deformities mere months or years after they got to where they are now. Prime example: Kim Jong-Il (spelling?), who grew a nasty tumor thing on the back of his neck roughly the size of a GOLF BALL not long after coming to power.
I have a signature!?
When this idea has been used in real life it's called physiognomy. It appears in classic literature like Frankenstein where Victor sees the creature's yellow eyes and immediately assumes it's evil... and it's got ties to pseudosciences phrenology and eugenics to justify doing bad things. But does it count for someone to see "ugly" people as evil? Or do I need to look somewhere else for that?
