*KSSHHHT* THIS IS HUNTER I'm also on Toyhouse and I see SOOOO many people posting closed species and like honestly? I don't see the draw. There are just so many rules for most of them and I get that some of them have cool lore and such but... It feels like making a species "closed" just means that the creator of a species has issues with keeping control of everything and some of the people in the species are elitists.
You won't see me having a character from a closed species (at least to my knowledge); I just like changing design and color aspects too much.
Enlighten me? Why are closed species so popular?

For some, it's like... making sure that if you're calling it a "horse" then it looks like a "horse".
In that, if the species has no boundaries, then ...it isn't what it is?
It's hard to articulate.
Sometimes there's a personal moral reason? When I say "moral" I don't mean like the big.."good vs evil thing" I just mean....
Like... for me I have some racial and various slurs that I just don't want associated with my designs. Y'know?
If there's other reasons idk.. I'd guess it's a monetary thing.
