Most people don't have a problem with morphs, though some do prefer wild type animals but thats not really relevant to this thread.
Dogs are a good example really(in this case), most domestic breeds are simply "morphs" created through line breeding and selection for weird/good looking/profitable traits or mutations, this is widely considered acceptable and even desired by many snake breeders. Compare a domestic dog to the wild type and its hardly the same thing IMO... yet when someone does the same thing rapidly through X breeding its the end of the world. This is where i get lost in the whole mob mentality on this issue, most see hybrids as being bad yet mutations and weird looking traits are seen as some sort of status symbol and often used by ____ to compare the status of herpetology in one country vs another

IMO there is trying to be close to wildtype or trying to be fake...
