>>25218967>They aren't relatable alreadyThen it would bring up the question as to why they aren't and draw further attention away from the characters. The conflict is already between the herbivores and the predators and humans are omnivorous. What sort of conflict do they add to this universe? A neutral side who can side with either one or none of them?
>>25219035I'd agree with this
>>25219101that if its another Equestria, where its a fantasy realm with modern influences here and there (engine trains, movie theaters, Manehattan skyscrapers, ect), that humans might as well be a thing.
However, if its a specifically isolated fantasy realm with magic or other fantasy-related approaches to modern innovations, then I think it would much more interesting.
As for humans being reformed predators? That just doesn't sit right with me for some reason. We're omnivores, sure, but we still do eat meat, and hunting for sport instead of sustenance isn't unheard of.
I think it was mentioned that Faust did want to explore the gray area between the conflicts between Herbivores and Predators and their coexistence, though
