Adding animal people in your game just means that you're a lesser writer. There's no other reason you'd use anything less than a human.

Why would animal people be "lesser"?
And even if they were, why would using them make you "lesser" of a writer?
Are you just shitposting or did you genuinely wish to discuss this?
Because you didn't explain yourself at all.

That's quite the assumption.
If anything the long history and tradition of fables contradict this, since fables very explicitly relied on using character traits to make characters more or less relatable to serve various purposes.
Leaning into preconceived stereotypes or subverting them for desired effects, while presenting stories and roles that would be relatable to people.

People relate more to the suggestion of a face or trait, than they do to an actual fully realized human.
They anthropomorphize things that aren't human by seeking out traits that appear human, so more of the interpretation comes from their perspective and biases, which inherently can make the character more relatable, because the audience has done most of the work to do so.
:-) Hope you have a nice day.

Even normal people have an upper cap to the amount of individual humans they can care about.
It's kind of stupid to stress this limit by making everything a fully realized human, when you just need them to fill a purpose for the narrative or even as set dressing.

this is correct
the inability to relate to something that doesn't look exactly like you is a low iq normalfag thing, notice how it's always normie ass people who ask for "representation" based on superficial things like sex or race, whereas autists and more intelligent people are the ones who can imagine relating to anything, a car, a hedgehog, a plant, a negro, whatever... it's because the ability to conceptualize cannot be socialized into you

Pigs weren't an attempt to create humans in greek mythos, they were created among many other creatures to simply populate the earth by Epimetheus, then his brother Prometheus made humans based off of the visage of the gods, he didn't need a "beta version" so to say for humans when he already had the perfect model, Zeus himself

Characeters in a story are already artificial. In some cases it may be easier to relate to an animal than an established human character such as kings. Why do you think fabels are so popular in folklore?

Humans are just better, more relatable, more understandable, and there's nothing subjective about the fact that non-humans just suck. Human characters can accomplish all that you need or want to achieve with a character concept better, and if you don't like making humans, then you're wrong.

That's every healthy animal which is able to bond and connect better with creatures that look like themselves, including humans. Even dogs have a pair of eyes, a mouth, two ears, fur, facial expressions and live in groups as we do, so its easier for us to connect with them than lets say a snake. Imagine you are the guy that likes and connects with birds, snakes, insects, and lizards, animals that look nothing like your species, your genes would've died out a long time ago for obvious reasons.
