Humanity demands to be put on the Council after less than half a century as a member of the galactic community.

There's a constant stream of nonsense from various characters about how humanity has to stand alone, is being held back and other such tripe when we're the newest kids on the block and its clear the Council is doing everything it can to keep the human race happy. This being after they saved us from facing the might of the Turian war machine. Not to mention that if given the chance humanity more than happily takes over in a coup.

There's also the bit where Humanity muscles in on Batarian interests and the Council turns a blind eye in order to placate us.

Start with them not only saving humanity from getting their arses kicked by the Turians but making them pay reparations.  Probably the right thing to do morally, but still remarkably generous.
Then you've got them handing over large lumps of territory to human colonisation, screwing the Batarians in process.
Finally, you've got humanity being effectively promoted to ranking as the top non-council race - with the best embassy and a spectre - in only 26 years.

It was pure politics. The Turians are more powerful than the Asari and Salarians but in council a 2 out of 3 wins. They gain by diminishing the Turians. Simple isn't it.

As humans ourselves, we develop ways of picking up on emotional cues of other humans. It become increasingly difficult for a human audience to connect to a character the less it is like us. Muppet aliens especially so. In the extreme, the expression of the protagonist could be so foreign we'd not know what to do with it in the slightest, not even sure if what we were looking at was it's mouth or it's butt. An Elcor is a good example of one we would not be able to connect with as easily, since their emotional responses are basically stage directions. We can connect to an extent, but it is definitely a roadblock that would hinder the success of the media that employs it.
