Gating a species / Closed species
5 years ago
General
I find closed species to be one of the dumbest things this fandom has ever introduced anyone to.
How is that you add x to animal, slap a name onto it and you're suddenly the only person that can ever make something similar from that day forth?
What exactly or better yet WHO exactly made that decision? Why do people think this is okay?
That's the equivalent of nintendo taking every pokemon 'sona, barring everyone from creating any similar character and then bitching and whining at you forever for even thinking about it.
So why is this allowed in the fandom?
If I slap a fucking pair of legs onto a snake and add speakers to it (or some other shit, you get the point) why am I and only I suddenly entitled to that as a species?
Anyone anywhere that argues it's anything but a pathetic cash grab or sense of entitlement is unquestionably an imbecile.
You can sit there and tell me it's because they have to preserve the species, make sure they are "accurate" otherwise it's no longer a unique species but the same could be said for the aforementioned pokemon creatures example.

Super silly concept
I'm just so amazed that it's somehow just an accepted thing and no one questions it. If I wanted to slap a dolphin cock on something like a sergal, abysal drake, death hydra or felkin I should have absolutely every right to for the same reasons we can sexualize and futa-fy shit like digimon, pokemon and countless other made up species/animals.
