Quote from: BoxCrayonTales;1128060To quote someone else who put it sagely:

All these quotes are nothing but mental masturbation used to sidestep the fact that this ENTIRE topic hinges on making wild leaps of logic that frame contentious opinions based on out of context hasty generalizations as self-evident established fact based on 1 on 1 comparisons, when objectively they're not.

You're just taking something that exists on a COMPLETELY different context, circumstances and even REALITY, comparing it something else, and insisting that they're exactly the same thing because some superficial similarities incidentally exist--not even causally, but based on pure happenstance. Someone somewhere in real life once made racist propaganda depicting some ethnic group as inherently evil and irredeemable, therefore ANY depiction of imaginary monsters that actually are literally inherently evil and irredeemable in the context of the actual world and circumstances that they exist in is also (somehow) racist propaganda. Kinda like saying that the news media lies (because it demonstrably does!) now makes you a Nazi, because once upon a time Nazis called the media the Lying Press, therefore pointing out that the media literally does lie makes you a Nazi because that sounds exactly like Nazi propaganda, despite it also happening to be true.

It's the kind of logic that goes up its own asshole like a human centipede ouroboros.

We have two threads on this now!

Quote from: mightybrain;1128047Dress your orcs up in Nazi iconography.

I'm so utterly done. We're going with your idea now. All my Orcs are Nazis who speak Jive.

Fuck these Twitter clowns. Anyone on the "orcs = blacks" bandwagon needs to be booted from the hobby.

We should have dropped the gates on these assholes a decade ago.

How much more bullshit and division are we going to tolerate? Zero good comes from tolerating these shitbags.

There's a legitimate discussion to be had regarding "inhuman sapients as kill fodder" and the need/desire/choice to replace humans with non-humans in the "evil being to kill" role. I'm cool with that discussion, but arguing that "orcs = blacks" is the domain of overprivileged honky simps and blue haired fuglies, neither of which we need in the hobby.

It's high time for gatekeeping...with archers at the wall.

*Laughing* This is such a stupid and pathetic REEEE! by the SJW's.

Many years ago, in a strange land, there was a campaign that featured an evil, tyrannical wizard, and a beautiful vampire queen, who together ruled over a powerful kingdom of orcs and other populations of savage monsters. The evil kingdom had many legions are fierce, bloodthirsty orcs, all preparing for war. The evil wizard had experimented with mystical gates, and had managed to open a gateway to our own world of Earth, during World War II. Some time passed, and the player characters discovered that the evil wizard and his vampire queen had brought several regiments of the 1st SS Liebstandarte Panzer Division from World War II Earth into their own world. There were years of war that raged across the land, with hundreds of thousands of people and creatures dying. Dragons and giants alike chose sides, and the battles were epic. There was a terrible series of battles in an allied Elven kingdom, and a long and savage battle in the streets and palaces of the elven kingdom's capital city. The players went apeshit when they witnessed several battle-hardened Orc warriors, armed with Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles. scale the highest tower of the elven palace, and raised a giant swastika banner in savage triumph. Below, columns of grim Orc warriors, dressed in black leather armour, steel breastplates, and armed with scimitars, daggers, Sturmgewhr-44 Assault Rifles, fragmentation grenades, and flame-throwers, marched in long files through the streets, chanting ancient war chants of glory. The fierce orcs marched in good order, and had fought with savage ferocity, discipline, and ruthless determination. The orcs and monsters had been powerfully united like never before. Amongst the vast companies of orc warriors, strangely dressed humans were alongside them, urging them onwards. The orc kingdom was on the march!

Jackbooted battalions of half orcs became a new cadre of shock troops amongst the orc kingdom's armies. Wearing fine, black leather boots, heavy, wolf-furred overcoats, black leather gloves, and armoured in black and silver scale mail. These battalions of half orc shock troops were armed with a Schmeisser MP-40 submachine gun, a battle axe, dagger, and several fragmentation grenades.

Elite companies of highly trained Minotaurs, dressed in black and silver scale armour, and splinter-forest camouflage cloaks, armed with battle axes, fragmentation grenades, and flame-throwers provided lots of fun for the players.

This new kingdom served as an entirely new threat to the player characters, and likewise to everything they valued. The players eagerly vowed to resist the evil kingdom to their last breath, ready to fight against them street by street, and from house to house!

That campaign was crazy and wild fun! The players loved every minute of it.

Semper Fidelis,
