I'm not sure about GGG, he seems pretty aggressive. (Although my recollection is that posters with that style from previous games have usually ended up being town). However, the reveal doesn't hurt anything, and makes the game more interesting by adding flavour.
Basically, I think the reveals were a good idea for the same reason I didn't want to vote out crazy bacon legs last game: it makes the game more interesting.
Plus, Mazrim had this to say:

I don't think the ability itself has anything to do with the character, just the name/description/flavour of the ability.
