My apologies for only bringing up this species. It's the only one I'm familiar with and I do not have the mental energy to traverse within other CS groups and their bullshit. From what I've seen they are still very popular and very active.
In the chat lounge users will get upset if no one acknowledges them or answers their question within the very minute they ask
Users abandon redesigning their chimereons and opt instead to trade them off because the redesign guide is so strict and you need to purchase more items from the shop if the moderators see you've unknowingly applied another trait like an extra fucking color or you removed something you need to put back. This occurs between the mods as well.

literally just change the fucking character however you want you're really letting some 30 year old jobless woman on discord tell you how to customize your billion dollar furry NFT
my 'tism can vaguely recognize Chimereon traits on the face but outside of that I literally cannot tell you what the fuck is going on with the character design

"Complexity" fees my ass, I'd straight up charge astronomical "fuck you" fees for these abominations. He paid $650, fuck you, I'd charge $700 minimum for the hours I'd never get back attempting to recreate this mess. Him and anyone else with an overdesigned donut steel.
How is that thing in any way related to the overdesigned messes posted earlier? At least its design is simple I guess, but it doesn't even look like it is from the same species/design at all.

longtime lurker first time caller. because all of the drama blogs get wiped within a month because the mods crack under the pressure I'm going to dump this tea here. esp. because casin0s and ATOM/NSA have been mentioned in detail so those reading prolly know somewhat of who they are. I respect the fact this website wont delete shit and i know the userbase doesn't care about "callouts" but it would be swept under the rug or deleted on any other blog so ignore me overstepping onto the site
toyhouse user hexlure/gavin owns the closed species tomoyokis and is another popular artist. he says hes Jewish and uses this to garner money off of the fact that he is personally affected by antisemitism drama in the closed species community.
This includes the several callouts of people who were outed as either being edgily antisemitic or Neo-Nazis (ATOM). he also felt "personally hurt" when a Mignyan paypig was banned for having a military inspired OC due to this perceived anti Semitism.
He also reserves the right to revoke OCs (take them back without compensation) at his discretion for this. View attachment 3351156 archive
he is not Jewish at all. maybe 2% on an ancestry DNA test but not anywhere in his immediate family
I know many people in CS lurk this thread. this is basically for those people. for those who have bought gavins designs/commissions or he has commissioned you, his name on his paypal is his birth name (Kayla Neumeister.) sorry of no screenshot of this. i think people are worried about this being traced back to them. here is proof that this is gavin, based on the birthday. View attachment 3351136
you need a facebook account to see his about information but here's his facebook, archive wasn't working View attachment 3350872 View attachment 3350874
they took the name gavin from achievement hunter. lol
grandfather's obituary with their birthname and trans name in it; confirms location is Cincinnati ohio. archive View attachment 3350880
(note the fact he was a member of a Baptist church which is the farthest away from being Jewish.) note the fact that his son Edward is married to Cheryl, who is Gavin's mother. Gavin's mothers' maiden name is "Darling."
moms facebook is here, you can't see much even with a Facebook account but has a bit of info. nothing about anything Jewish such as Passover, Purim, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, etc. View attachment 3350892
wow an extremely Jewish family (Gavin is 1 from the right, the pudgy kid)
members of his mother's maiden family are all Christian (its a bit hard to connect the dots here with her exact lineage as free resources dont have a lot) but theyre all classic Ohio Christian republicans, not Jewish people. View attachment 3350921
Freemasonry and Christianity lol

you can basically trace his moms lineage back to where Columbus landed and none of them are Jewish. the only one unaccounted for is his dads mom who seems to be out of the picture entirely, but if that's true (and she was the jewish one) then that means Gavin is as ethnically Jewish as every other white Christian military family in Ohio. never practiced Judaism a day in his life. This isn't meant to be a callout for Gavin, more an archive of his behavior that will not be deleted over time because Closed Species anonymous vent blogs can't stay running.
"i do not allow the lightening of skin tones" thats the kinda thing that really inspires people to stay five feet away from your work at all times lest they make a casual and harmless 'art mistake' thatll be perceived as malice.

don't forget of "you can't untrans a trans adopt". hm, what if i want to make this specific trans man a cis man? or this specific trans woman a cis woman?

And what legal barring do they even have on you? They are lending ownership of a design to someone else, in which said someone can do whatever they'd like to said design. If they don't own the design anymore, they can't control whenever you "detrans" or "lighten up" said adopt.
sometimes i think that it would be fun if existed a kiwi-like drama blog for cs and toyhouse, the admins behind those are the 101% of times huge snowflakes.
id love a general thread about the admins, janitors and owners on other smaller art community style websites, i dont know why those places seem to invite such unbridled levels of pure asparagus. like toyhouse, maybe even https://artfight.net/ in celebration of that happening next month, i hear they're real special individuals.

in reality there shouldn't ever be any concern in what you do when it comes to art- art is conceptual and mailable, no trans person gets killed in the untransing process.
but youre operating under the implication that these people perceive a trans man as a man, or a trans woman as a woman. they percieve them as trans, first and foremost- thats their sole identity, all else is hardly secondary.
Damn. And I know one of the artist who drew this too. Though it's not surprising she's involved in this, given that she is neck deep in the grem shit and probably mingyan one too.

Ideally, you would hope that they wouldn't insist on making their OC's mentally ill and suicidal, but this is one area that the furries overlap with tumblr. For a community with a great deal of flexibility with character designs, self-insert wolves/large dogs/cats are remarkably common.
What seems to piss CS users off even more is if you ask them if they're willing to trade/resale their characters. I notice it's very aggressive with people who own Dainties, Grems, and of course Chimereons. In the server where they trade/sell their dog lizards, this user seems to be putting a whole shit ton of their characters up for trade ("dreamies" a priority)
I understand if it's annoying to be asked if their characters are up for offer repeatedly, but what exactly do you do here? Wait for their permission to offer on these characters or get blocked??? I guess they aren't that special to block people over if they're putting them out to be traded.

Mignyans came out with their June batch. Word is going around that they apparently copied Kokomi from Genshin Impact.
While I can't say for sure, doing a bit of research pulls up that pearls are a major part of Kokomi's lore and also the "Leafy sea dragon" motif seems to also be inspired by her species/story. In any case, I would not pay actual money for an OC that was clearly made as an homage to an existing character in fiction.
someone also mentioned them copying a small Russian artist for the design on the left but I have no other info so take that with a grain of salt soz
i will openly shoot genshin fans or just anime fans for being "this design copied genshin impact character!!" , nothing is unique anymore (especially in oc designs) both are just animu pink hair with sea animal motifs (right one adding jellyfish though)
both designs are just kind of mid generic overdesigned
