The community surrounding the species is neither lead by nor endorses the creator's views on the species, and since distancing themselves from the original creator in 2018 have operated the species autonomously.
In May of 2025, the creator begin taking interest in controlling the future of the species which was not discussed with the community of people with characters in the species.
