Closed species are the worst, but oh my god the original design looks horrifying.
Overall. If you see someone making closed species and stuff, my best advice is for you to stay away from them. Never seen anything good come out of closed species besides drama, and the creators themselves are narcissistic autstics from my own personal experience.
I got a journal made on me on DA, exposing me as a 'pedo' by two creepy furfags who are apart of making closed species. It was outta revenge because I called their friend out for harassing a minor and getting people to hate them for liking YAOI.
Keep in mind, the person tryna do that is 21yrs old and the YAOI kid is only 13. They also are a huge Birdie fan, actively calls Birdie's ex an "abuser" despite it not being the case at all. None of the two people seemed to care about the serious nature of exposing someone as a pedo is and they sent NSFW to a minor,. They laughed at me for taking it seriously though, I debunked all their proof and handle everything maturely but they still act like they've 'won' or some shit. It's really disgusting.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link that shit but yeah, those people are crazy, unoriginal, and selfish. I hate closed species with a passion, that stuff happened recently too right before my birthday. Between all the "yuh cant copy muh spcies!!11!" horror stories and that, I have reason to believe all closed species makers are toxic.
