This also includes lack of some saving trait of humans that elevates them above others.

Humans generally being weaklings is within what this is about, but if the non-weak humans are cybrogs and other transhumans, then they do not make the normal humans non-weak, making this tag applicable to games where some (or all) transhumans are actually on par or better than whatever is mucking the floor with normal humans.
