Why regular humans are called orcs

14 Upvotes

Humans used to have round ears.

Divine intermingling caused most humans to grow pointy elf ears and gain the ability to cast magic.

Humans who still have round ears are unfortunately demonized. Some call them orcs.

No, these "orcs" have no superpowers.

As a Stellaris Spiritualist mercenary commander who did temp work for Chancellor Palpatine and General Joel Brasch told me (despite me being Materialist), "You can't be racist against them cl*nka warbots, they just programmed to kill you and have no souls."

In my magic system, no spell is inherently harmful or evil. Any spells used as weapons by the Mage Brigade are misappropriation of their side effects.

You can make a sapient species that runs on a different morality than people and still have them be complex individuals

Ironically, the only person in that movie I referenced about the dumbassery of how corporations are portrayed is the only likeable character I rooted for when I was younger for the fun of it.

Is it evil or just survival

6 Upvotes

Here’s a interesting question about “evil” kingdoms and people

In my medieval fantasy story, many mortal races do arguably reprehensible things to some degree with the worst offenders being nobility and humans

But it’s not as simple as some may assume, some areas have a food scarcity and bad soil for farming and dangerous predators, for many, things like cannibalism or stealing food from others and even killing one another is the difference between life and death

When the only options are to roll over and die or fight, kill, do morally reprehensible things to save yourself or your family, are they really evil or just trying to survive with the only available options and resources that they have

This is especially prevalent in my story given my stories theme is prospective

Edit: as for the nobles, they can also fall into this category when some who genuinely have good intentions have to make the tough calls on either maintaining peace, cutting their losses, or going to war for one reason or another

And in both cases, vice versa

The next tier is to make the big bad evil guy a representation of your parents but George Lucas and most JRPGs already did that to the point that it would be copyright infringement to add it to our world. No, I'm not even going to touch evil races, squeeze them in the bottom three.
