    Orcs are not inferior by pretty much every definition in high fantasy. They are elves who simply chose to align with evil.

    That’s literally only in Tolkien’s universe (and they were originally kidnapped and tortured for centuries, they did not chose that) and there they were explicitly stated as inherently evil monsters so it’s dehumanising as fuck.

    In most other universes they are subhuman barbarians or straight up monsters.

      JRR Tolkien is by far the most culturally impactful definition of high fantasy, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable.

      And I have to maintain my disagreement. The transition of the elf to orc by choice of evil is CRITICAL for the central themes.

      The fall into evil was itself intrinsically tragic.

      The wars between orc and elf are tragic because they are brothers.

      OP’s absurd reach that there are underpinnings of “genetic inferiority” is fucking retarded. It’s OBVIOUSLY a way to try and scramble on top of an ant hill of moral outrage on behalf of their glorious red army within the greater context of sitting on a mountain of war crimes perpetrated by them.

      We get it. You’ve all conflated contrarianism with intellect and in this moment you’re all euphoric. You’ve managed to divert a possible discussion about the horrors being inflicted by a war of aggression into one where you’re wagging a finger over a faux-entomology over the word “orc”. Bravo. Bravo.

      And? How is that not deserved. Slaughtering innocent Ukrainians makes you lose the title of human being. Take away others humanity undeservedly and you shall lose your own

          Nice Photoshop/inspect element job. The only “nazi” here is you, trying to justify the genocide of an entire people. Cope harder Putinist, your time shall come. Justice will be served

              Not surprising that he simps for Brave, which is a “privacy” browser that uses the Chromium engine. (Yes, giving Google another monopoly point is very private). It also has its own shitty crypto which screams MLM, yet the simps say it’s good because ooo money!

              It’s also been into numerous scandals over the years, and each time the devs did a half ass apology and swear they’d do better, yet the scandals just keep on coming. One of them for example put referral codes into the URLs of websites so that Brave gets a cut. When they got caught, they apologised,

              Also “Braveophobes”. Totally sane individual.
