I fail to see how people thought the sakura petals were any cute. It SO was pastede on yay, you nailed it.
I know it's an universal thing, but the only big fandom I icon frequently is CLAMP so my experience is limited to that one. Hell, I've seen cases in which people icon a random image without knowing the series or the character at all, or confuse them with another one. Does that also happen with Rumiko icons?
.......See, I really can't get that at all. Sure at the iconing characters you don't like, because an icontest forced you to make an image challenge or you just want to be popular so you do popular subjects. But USING them? God, why? It's true sometimes the characters you love don't have enough pretty art, but I think that's a waste of icon slots.
