It's not a strawman, since if you get rid of absolutes that differ a species from one another, we have to humanize them, since the only thing humans can do (since it is our only perspective) is turn things into humans but X.

A strawman would be someone saying "I'd like a game where the orcs are not all muder-kill-demons." and someone else responding "So you don't like Tolkien or traditional fantasy?"

A strawman is a misrepresentation of a preceding point (i.e. A says 1, B says 1 involved Hitler), not a simplification of a point.
