Is the next step to remove the combat and weapon rules so we do not unfairly harm the OP's "not monsters"?

Of course. Nerf weapons for everyone!

Yes, alreadt suggested up thread

It's high time player characters and the unfairly-othered beings they have been abusing lose their combat abilities in favor of constructive dialogue and mutual understanding abilities.

After thinking about this, I realized nerf weapons are made of plastic which will hurt the fantasy environment. That, and smacking someone with a nerf weapon might still hurt their feelings. We want this to be a positive experience!

Therefore we need items that are biodegradable only offering pleasure. Since I don't want someone feeling bad for missing we'll also get rid of rolling a D20 and damage.

Whenever you "attack" a monster you now just indicate the monster and say "BOOP!" Much better.

I've been saying for years that weapons and armor needs to have it's own Lexicon of Lethality

A quarter of the book could just be sword houserules.

And in terms of data, the only data out there suggests people that play rpgs are less likely engage in negative attributions to other people.

Citation please?

Items that only offer pleasure ? - while it might involve Dungeons I’d suspect that kind roleplaying would breach the PG limit

Not necessarily. It could be a cookbook devoted entirely to bourbon and chocolate.

If I fight climate change then I need to fight world hunger next, then save the whales after that. See where Im going when I said where does it stop?

It doesn't stop. We should always try to better the world and fix things.

The debate lies in what is broke and what isn't...

I think the problem is that there is an orc and a goblin entry in the MM, but not human and elf entries. The solution is simple: take out the orc/goblin/etc. humanoid entries from the MM, except for special cases like the Eye of Gruumsh, add some fluff for the NPC entries, like bandit, and make some new ones, like marauder (and make small and medium size versions of the NPC's). If marauders are always CE, then it doesn't really matter if they are human, orc, goblin, elf, dwarf, or whatnot.

There used to be MM entries for all races, including human. Bring that back!
