“These smelly, stupid, violent savages are obviously supposed to represent black people! Change it!”
It never ceases to amaze me that they can have this attitude without a hint of self awareness, especially since there are non-white humans in pretty much every fantasy world where Orcs appear.
also, given that its an RPG, surely they know that you can make a human character with dark skin.... pffft who am I kidding, these people dont actually PLAY D&D hahaha
I've tried to have this discussion on some D&D forums, pointing out that believing orcs are black people is in itself racist and it was the normal way to look at it for years. Turns out no one cares and virtue signaling and fighting racism is so important that you need to force racism in things that are not racist.
And D&D or Pathfinder forums do not stop there. There was a lot of discussions about how hell was sexist for not having 50-50 male to female distribution (I think there are like only 3 female rulers of hell in D&D). Or how a race of blood apes in a jungle type continent exists and since Africa has jungles then it is racist, if you are going to make a race of apes you are not going to make them in the desert but hey who am I to argue. The support for this retarded ideas is huge,

Troll, orc, orsimer, dunmer, bosmer, mermaid... I don't care what you call the pointy eared fags. They all need to die.
Elder Scrolls elves are the fugliest, man.
I genocided them by installing Furry Age of Skyrim. I don't care what anyone thinks or says, it's a lot easier on MY eyeballs.
Hey, Dunmer and Orcs are based.
