Equivocate isn't the word you're looking for here: "To express one's self in terms which admit of different interpretations." You might be looking for "equivalent": "alike in significance and value; of the same import and meaning", although that's an adjective, and not a verb. If you need a verb, I would suggest "equate": "to represent as equal or equivalent".
I specifically used equivocate. Their argument revolves around describing characters in a vague manner, to remove the differences between character types.

But we are not here to discuss vocabulary.
