krokpot seems nice and all and i dont wanna be edgy or anything but krotpot can also forget off because there's no way you can control that and it's senseless to try and make it exclusive in the first place

That's so nice of you to say.

the whole exclusive thing just kinda makes it feel like they're trying to be a special snowflake imo
or like "you can't play with my toys"

but eh, just gonna let this thing blow over and move on to a different subject.

You can't copyright species. If you make art of that species, that's copyrightable. But a species is nothing more then "make the tail this long, and the ears that long, and put a horn there" etc. You can't copyright something intangible; copyright laws simply do not cover it because it's a ridiculous notion
 If someone doesn't understand why their character being used is good (what you said, plus point four in the DA link I posted in my second post) then all they (and the couple people who agree with them) can do is cry.

this guy knows what's up

characters are a way of expressing yourself, other people don't have the right to control that, no matter how ethical or innocent they think it is.

[.:FancyPants:.]

you'd think it'd be an honor, for an artist to invest time in making a character with its own personality, in a species you designed.

yeah, it makes it seem like they don't want their species to become an actual species, and instead just some mutated animal.

Come up with a better way of monetizing other than "PAY ME FOR THIS SPECIES" because forget that I don't want to be belittled with fees everytime I want to draw a line to that character. The species becomes completely unattractive.

Sorry, but there's literally no one disagreeing, so I am clueless to why it needed that many reactions other than to circlejerk.

Many people expressing the same opinion on a relevant matter =/= circlejerk

Not to keep this going or anything, but I feel like locking a species that you designed is kinda bullstuff?? I mean I get that you made it and all, but if you really want people to respect your creativity and in turn, continue that same spirit of creativity, you should encourage people to take it in their own directions and have fun with it. Making people pay to use that species also feels kinda sleazy.

Like, for example, when Shmorky made up these creatures called Klurfs, they released a guide on them and encouraged people to make their own and share them. If you ask me, this not only enforces the Klurfs as his design, but also shows how to be really cool about your designs and creations.
