Counterpoint here
As determined by whom exactly? The PetTuber with an agenda and his extensive fanbase? Or actual biologists and geneticist? Or pet enthusiasts in general?
97% of the time, the person advocating against a given morph is doing so based on their own personal biases, not on anything that is actually a proven fact.

If I can invest the time and extra attention needed to fully care for a Silkie so that its health and well being is being perfectly met then I should be able to keep the morph. But because the OP thinks Silkies are trash and defective, he says they should all be exiled from the hobby and no one should keep or breed them

I will revisit my post in a different thread about the slippery-slope we tread when we begin to talk about what should and should not be allowed in the hobby

Bottom line is that at the end of the day, we are keeping animals in a box. We should be encouraging people to provide the best care they can give to whatever it is they want to keep, but we should never be telling them that they cannot keep something they are able to care for simply because we ourselves do not like that thing. When we start doing that, we are no better than the AR activists that are saying we should not be allowed to keep reptiles because they are not cute and fuzzy like puppies and kitties
