Playing With / No Focus on Humans

Go To

Basic Trope: Even though humans exist in the setting, the non-humans get much more focus.

  • Straight: The story Bob the Dog takes place in a world with both anthropomorphic animals and humans living together. However, Danny is the only main human character, and other human characters generally appear as only background characters.
  • Exaggerated: Humans apparently exist in the setting, but aren't even mentioned.
  • Downplayed: The animal characters are definitely the main characters, but humans are fairly important in the story as well.
  • Justified:
    • Bob and the other animals live in a specific part of the town that humans rarely go to.
    • The story is some kind of alternate reality where non-humans have become the dominate species, and humans are at least somewhat more rare as a result.
  • Inverted: Human-Focused Adaptation
  • Subverted: The lack of human focus in Bob the Dog was some Early-Installment Weirdness. Danny and the other human characters later get more importance.
  • Double Subverted: But Danny's major appearance was just for A Day in the Limelight.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: Whether or not the story focuses more on animals or humans seems to differ.
  • Averted:
    • The story explicitly states that it's a World of Funny Animals where no humans exist to begin with.
    • Humans and animals get the same amount of focus.
  • Enforced: Furries Are Easier to Draw
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: "Despite the fact that I know humans exist, I don't usually see 'em around."
  • Conversed: ???
