My Tos Oh yes, they're back~!
Today's topic is:
Seeing some really great characters {preferably kemonomimis} that are a fucking CLOSED SPECIES .
May I ask how someone is going to claim they own a specific kind of kemonomimi? I mean those kemonomimis you look at that are really fucking cute and something like a cat, bunny, or dog, but then you go and see the price then see what most people dread:
"SO AND SO IS A CLOSED SPECIES. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN."
What the fuck?
How the hell are you going to claim you own a specific type of kemonomimi simply because you put that one tiny detail into a character you create then just slap a closed species label on it to be with the "cool kids" who seem to be wanting one too? People will do what they want, but it really ruins the aspect of a character and what someone is wanting to buy if you place such a label on something that does not need one. I would understand that maybe the character had something [/b]extremely[/b] distinctive and you can't necessarily tell if it's another animal you know or not.
Sigh, it just really bugs me when I see a kemonomimi that I like, can use with my other kemonos and want to save my money up for, only to find out it's some species...
I'm sure a lot of you dislike this closed species fad. It's destroying character adoption, it's making it harder for other artists to make a living if they are not popular or have a cool ass species of their own. It is just...I honestly wish this shit would stop.
That is all for now. folks~ You can share your own thoughts of the subject!

Yeah, I understand what you mean. I honestly don't mind close species, especially when they actually /look/ like they can be species of their own with a backstory and everything, not something anyone can make like a cat with some little marking and then just say it's a closed species because you made it that way.That's just,,,,No.
Then again..Im a pirate so.. Yarr.
