To this, I point back to the aforementioned inane society: people getting in a tizzy over the killing of monsters.
Why are goblins monsters though? What makes them different from, for example, githyanki?
- Both are typically evil, plundering other areas if they have enough strength.
- Both have similar intelligence scores (10-11), implying similar levels of sentience/sapience.
- Both are humanoids.

And, I'm not going to re-quote everything but
@The_Red_Queen :

I don't see how real world politics has got anything to do here.
Feels like some people are either projecting and/or making a lot of weird conjectures when people are just sharing their own personal preference and opinion. This ruins the fun of debates, in my opinion.
In my case, I'm basically saying, if it doesn't bring anything in term of story-telling or characterization, no need to make children killable.
Am I advocating for that to be the case?
Nope.
Just sharing my view on the matter.
If also find it interesting that some people here don't want more options in dialogue to help the RP aspect (ie
here), but absolutly want to be able to kill children because they want to murder hobo.
I
do like the idea that if every children can be killed then add consequences when applicable. But that requires more coding...is this really a priority?
