Are you put off playing as non humans in games of any type? - video, traditional, war, card, pnp games etc

As a child I didn't really think about it so much but I do now find it a harder to be attached to very alien species that are quite different to us. For instance, if you were playing as space bugs then it's hard to really care when they are killed, hard to understand their motivation, hard to really get into it. Do you stick to the more human options?

I do fren.
In Mmos growing up I use to choose orcs, dragon people, you know the typical nerd shit.

But now, I pick mostly humanoid looking characters. I guess growing up changes the way you perceived fantasy.

I think as kids we only think about how cool it is to be a big dragon guy and how big their claws are but when we get older we want to have some understanding and connection with our avatar so we return to monk so to speak.

If there’s an orc, dwarf, goblin, or undead those are my options.

Spider-Man 2 tried to make me play as Miles Morales and I had to return the game because niggers aren't human.

In the Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer, I always prefered playing as an Elite over a Spartan. Today I mostly just make my characters women, but when given the choice, I'll sometimes choose to be some weird alien or monster.

I tend to prefer playing as non-human species. I'm already human. Why not roleplay as a dragon or a pile of toxic goo or something else?
