It's a source of income, limiting moddability would be understandable for anyone being the developer of this game; and the same goes for anyone else on Patreon. Content creators have the luxury to have either a secondary or even a main source of incoming because they happen to know how to work in Blender, code, animate and so on (and that's good on them really).
Even if it's pocket change and you don't live off of it, it's still money that you don't want to see go away. If people mod a new character in, there's no point for him to make, tease and reveal a new one to keep interest for his Patrons whom actually pay their own money to support him. If it was completely moddable then his own ability to 'feature-proof' and 'content-proof' his future updates would be compromised and wouldn't be able to announce genuinely new stuff in coming updates.
So from the point of view of a content creator I fully understand his position on heavily limiting the game's moddability, and it has nothing to do with him possibly being an Asian. Even if he is, his point of view is perfectly understandable. Otherwise he himself might lose interest over time and he'll cancel the project and move on to something else. A better thing to do is simply to give him suggestions for a start, giving actual constructive criticism, and if you can and want either now or later support him on Patreon where your suggestions, votes from polls and comments can actually be seen by him and be taken into consideration since you'd be a Patron to him and he'd know that he depends on people like you to see success in his project.
What he could do, however, maybe not now but perhaps at some point would be to give general permission to mod at least parts of the game freely as long as you don't publish and/or share it publicly, just modding for yourself and no one else. That'd be in the realm of possibility but it'd still be risky if what he really wants is to have as much control on his game and the assets as possible. Because giving even some permissions is bound to lead to something getting modded and shared / released publicly at some point down the chain of individuals over time from even just one person who'd happen to not even know where the original content comes from.
