Agreed, but one does not need to mutilate their counters to make it look nice/play well. Just removing it from the sprue with a blade of some kind, I use a wheel cutter, will keep it clean and SQUARE, the way the Creator intended.

the one on the right does look really cool though...

I was going to say this but I think we're meddling with forces we don't understand

Middle one was done with clippers, but the one on the right was done with a proper tool for the job.

Open box, get counters off sprues, drink beer and game with friends - who cares if you have hairy corners

I am pretty sure one South Park episode featured murdered cardboard womb baby counters.

By clipping them you make em tough. I need no stinkin' pussy counters in my war! They need to be tough and ferocious and the only way to give them that is to have let them endure some pain. Clipping is REQUIRED basic training!
