Sorry if this is off-topic, late, or retarded, but I need to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. I've seen shit say "adoptable" on it but never looked closely at it because it always looked like some generic furfag nonsense. I never knew what "adoptable" meant, and I just looked it up, and it sounds like "original character/design that I slapped together and you pay me for". Is that actually what it means, or am I missing something huge?
There's no way that's what it means, right? Can you actually just draw some random character and people will pay to "adopt" it as their own? Like, actual money? Who the fuck would pay for some random, generic character that someone else came up with? And if there IS a market for this, how's it not an IRL infinite money glitch? Because if that's actually what it means, what's stopping me from making like 20 deviantart accounts, targeting the most autistic groups (MLP, FNAF, furfags, minecraft, pridefags, etc.), churning out a million different generic OCs, and making a ton of money? It's not like anything I've seen looks special or interesting, so the bottleneck of creativity and originality is nonexistent.
