I realize that this may look like a parody thread. It is not. I'm completely serious. I'm still on the fence about whether or not sterotyping in D&D is akin to real-world stereotyping, I've heard good points from both sides. But if it is, I think we should remove it completely from the game, and perhaps more importantly, we should be coherent about the way we deal with it.

It is ok to refer to "monsters", as long as we understand that any human can become monstrous when becoming hateful.

Maybe the real monsters were the friends we made along the way.

Please do cyclops next. To be fair to the source material, it should probably involve sheep.

I saw we take the humanoids out the MM and make a Handbook of Humanoids.

50 pages of elves.

Genghis Khan is a hero who unified the Mongol people and brought peace to the world, to refer to him as a monster really is racist and offensive

But won't someone please think of the children!

They can be covered with a general footnote that children yield half as much XP as the adult version
