I don't like the whole paintie thing either. But then again, custom pets as a whole kinda irritate me, it's annoyed me on every petsite I've been to (chicken smoothie and mycena cave)
Furvilla is just WAY way worse because essentially nearly every paintie can be custom? which then it's like... Well why. Why the petsite part if we can just upload our own characters.
Custom fr skins are different...somehow. They're fine. Idk why.
