I can imagine this is something that can be seriously struggled with and considered in terms of literature and philosophy for the next hundred years. Just like many other issues like this. But... I'm not equipped to solve the social ills of hundreds of years of discrimination and find the perfect solution in the next... three hours of discussion. This is something that will need to be seen. I don't have the answer. How could I have the answer to what is going to be considered proper in 100 years? How do I have any insight into what is going to be determined as we navigate these waters? But, at the same time... nobody in any of these discussions. Not one person has ever put forth that they desire all fantasy races to be forever and permanently erased from all fantasy. No one wants this. Nobody. We all think  that is something we don't want to see. So... can people stop bringing it up as some big scary monster problem that we are immediately being confronted with? I get it may be some future problem that we wrestle with as we wrestle with all changes to media. But, it isn't anything that we are actually going to be dealing with in DnD.</blockquote>
