dante @videodante the problem with D&D Orc racial classification is not that orcs were necessarily designed to resemble black and/or poc cultures, but that the ideology of "this group of sentient beings is unable to overcome the inherent animal nature of their bloodline" is the same as irl racism 2:24 PM · Apr 26, 2020 · Twitter for Android

Quinn W-W (Blasted by Time Ghos... Follow @MonkipiQuinn Cw blatant racism I'm in genuine awe that this s--- came out for THIS edition of D&D h-------- ROLEPLAYING AN ORC Most orcs have been indoctrinated into a life of destruc- tion and slaughter. But unlike creatures who by their very nature are evil, such as gnolls, it's possible that an orc, if raised outside its culture, could develop a limited capacity for empathy, love, and compassion. No matter how domesticated an orc might seem, its blood lust flows just beneath the surface. With its instinctive love of battle and its desire to prove its strength, an orc trying to live within the confines of civi- lization is faced with a difficult task. 4:55 PM - 25 Apr 2020 194 Retweets 1,217 Likes 1.4K t7 194 1.2K

"Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth."

Twitter users: JRR Tolkien wrote orcs to resemble black people because he was a racist Tolkien, who wrote a letter to the Nazis telling them their racism and bigotry made him ashamed of being a German: Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth.
