    Animal Crossing is PEOPLE! No, really! Theorists, this may be one of the most unexpected theories I've put out recently, but once you see it, you will never unsee it. I have gathered TONS of evidence that our player character is only SEEING the villagers of Animal Crossing as animals. They are not, in fact, ACTUAL talking, anthropomorphic animals. Have I said the word animals enough yet? Well get ready Loyal Theorists, I am about to blow your mind! Animals!

    Okay but literally in the museum you can see a line in the floor that describes the evolution of living beings and you can clearly see that the villagers are just animals that have evolved into a more intelligent beings alongside humans.
    Besides, you can constantly see more humans all across the game, in your island, in other islands... Humans are just another species that live in the Animal Crossing world

    They do comment on your look! And its funny how in Wild World on the DS Lite there was an axolotl as a shrink that would come to town every now and then and teach you to express emotions. Even in Horizons the Islanders teach you how to express certain emotions. I’ve always had a suspicion that our character is living with a certain mental illness.

He'd also have me read his smutty fanfiction in the library whenever class got out early. Also also he'd follow me to my car every day and try to get in the back seat of my car and ask my to take him somewhere like a fast food place or gas station. Never did. A year after I dropped out, my calendar alarm went off and it said "sonso's birthday." The demon wolf boy had somehow put his birthday in my phone without me knowing.

    Well, there is literally a family tree in the museum that explains that the villagers are more "evolved" forms of our normal animals, or that at least they split somewhere in the tree from the "normal animals". There is even the fossil of a primate before the spot where your villager can pose. Basically they see less-evolved animals the same as we humans see monkeys.

    What about when you talk to Sable at Able Sisters, sometimes she says “if you need something, could you talk to the other hedgehog, please?” Meaning that they are actually hedgehogs and therefore they are animals and so are the rest of the characters in the game. Plus, I don’t remember exactly how it was worded, but I know that Tom Nook once says something along the lines of “it’s all too much work for one raccoon” but I’m not 100 percent about that one.

    Oh... I figured it'd be something like a post-apocalyptic world setting, with uplifted animal-human hybrids replacing humans following some event that decimated the original human population, like the increasingly severe consequences of global warming, or nuclear war, or something. This was certainly a more original take on it.
