Monster Species

So, random thought.

I see a lot of hate for playing monster species/races in RPGs. Both Tabletop and of the computer/console variety. And I genuinely don't get it.

I mean, I feel that playing non-human often results in the visuals getting super messed up, because assets were designed with a human model first, then afterwards they try to stretch the model over non-standard human frames and it gets all meh looking. But even with that visual bug, people still enjoy playing non-human species/race options because...

...humans boring. Like am I the only one who thinks humans are boring and playing a non-human is far more fun?

(I understand that not everyone wants to play as ooze, although the sheer amount of ooze-based porn suggests this may not even be as rare of a fantasy as I thought. Like, surely this is not a hard idea to grok? ...Do people say grok anymore? Whatever, I'm old.)
