And you can tell. It's not even there only. Look at orcs in Warcraft. WC3 is still one of my all time favorite RTS(fuck reforged btw). Orcs were probably one of the cooler factions for me(though I prefer undead over them). The lore was just amazing. Even when WoW started it was still cool, orcs are still one of my favorite races but in recent days it's become green humans, no longer orcs. I cannot find the image but there's this infamous one with an orc holding a camera looking like a fucking nerd, I guess soy's back on the menu in Orgrimmar.
WC3 is indeed an amazing game, although I would argue some of the trends started in there. Orcs are humanized in that game, we see there are bad orcs and good orcs, some want peace, some want war and power, etc. this is different from the traditional DnD and LotR style orcs which are just evil, warmongering savages. Fantasy is not supposed to be an analogy to the real world, and so is having an entire race of brutal savages is perfectly fine, just like having one of perfectly good angels.
Leftoids are not only pathetically uncreative, they can't be subtle about the fact they are just pushing their worldview on fantasy settings and that to them orcs are just green niggers.
I always took Thrall as being a bit too hippy, yet they didn't hold back when they had to. Now it's all holding hands and we gotta play together. All the edgyness of the horde is gone, I think it started with the Blood Elves that, while fitting in the lore have no place in the horde. Should've just been goblins and leave all the elf stuff to the other alliance.
But yeah, true orcs are very different from DnD or Tolkien, I don't mind it there though. It just got too soft and is IMHO entirely gone now. Had nuance, now it's you pick the ones with those elves or the other elves, with void elves we even had same model on both sides now.
Recent editions of DnD are made with their new target audience in mind: women and faggots.
