>>56511612I kinda missed the self insertion thing, I am a tad older majority of the shows/games I watched/played as a kid were full of monsters, as well as mutants human dudes weren't the normal
>tmnt and it's clonesbasically most shows were a bunch of muscular mutants and a white girl to keep them company.
>earthworm jim>t-rex>platformers of the 4th and 5th gen>the only things that had human characters in them were JRPGs and most of them had monster allies as well.
For example in Mario Rpg, Mario was basically the only human. Same with Legend of Mana and the FFs aside from 8 all had non human party members
