Human form kitsune is technically a polymorph but without any costs or penalties (except losing pounce and bite), which meant you could play the entire game basically a human and gain buffs from any item that buffed on polymorph (like any clothes/armour made from the altar of the first retriever).
Does it count as picking the furry option if it's to metagame your monk for optimum stats?
Yeah they added like 12 subraces of tiny folk and there's like 2 named characters of note in the whole game that are halfling, dwarf or gnome. One of them is a serial killer.
I'm gonna assume the non-serial killer one is either Barcus or Wulbren. Because, I honestly can't remember any gnome characters that aren't part of the ironhand gnome questline apart from the evil butler guy from Dark Urge.
The only non-human species they had were dragonborn so I played that. They even humanized them somewhat. But I can't say I'm surprised after seeing what the helmets looked like.
i have never considered any of them "human" and a lot of the literature I've read (which isn't much tbh) is super careful about not doing that
it seems like your definition of "human" is a lot like the definition of "white" which is very fluid and made-up and anyways i reject whiteness, do better
Anything with "homo" in front of it will sometimes be called human by some anthros and biologists. They don't like the distinction between human and non-human bc they think it makes people think other homo species are less than. Kind of like saying a second cousin isn't family. I don't personally subscribe to that belief. Human has a specific meaning, and they're using it in the esoteric "my humanity" sort of way and not in the actual definition kind of way. So I don't call anyone but homo sapiens humans. And a lot of the "all homo species are humans" people think we have delineated too many separate species in our taxonomy. Some of em don't acknowledge that Neanderthals are a separate species and instead call them homo sapiens neanderthalensis rather than homo neanderthalensis.
shes a cool friend
so anyways i guess there is some grey area like its a conesus that they aren't human but there are anthros out there that will call them humans anyways and its kind of not like whether or not the earth is flat or round (its actually hollow)
Acting like this isn't their fault for not including tabaxi in the base game
Give the furries an option and they will come (double entendre only somewhat intended)
You thought they forgot? They just gonna DLC it

And don't forget the shortys! None of the companions are little people. Dwarves, gnomes and halflings got no love as party members.

struggle session over whether or not elves and orcs and halflings and gnomes and such are 'human'
I consider them humans since we call homo sapiens, neanderthals, erectus, habilis, etc. all humans 🤷

Oh really? Weird cause I see the other human species called just that all the time.
scientifically neanderthals are not humans
when they existed so did humans; they were two different species of hominid
a coworker of mine has a masters in anthropology so i could ask her i guess shes the only person i know with real expertise on the subject
Sure why not. I'd be interested to hear what sort of language is used among her field.
