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!

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.

A few things, in the older animal crossing games you can’t just customize your character in a mirror, what about if you play multiplayer, obviously that other player character will be another human, some villagers have dialogue if you wear the animal costume associated with them where they comment that you’re dressed like them for example if you talk to kiki while wearing a cat costume

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.

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.
