HATE, Goblin Slaying and Pacificism
We're talking about violence, racial killings and rape - Which uhhh, very heavy needless to say. I'm not sure I handled it all with the greatest grace, so if you don't have the energy for that right now don't read this. There's a couple of discourses that occasionally make the rounds, and finally "hey so the whole killing orcs thing" has come back up again, this time in a much more interesting way. For those unfamiliar; killing orcs as a sentient race, indiscriminately and then saying "well hey they're orcs so it's OK" maybe parrots the genocidal tendencies of various empires and ethno-states a little too hard for comfort, and thus people try to moralize or fix it. A common meme amongst my cohort is turning our noses at quick fixes like "just make the Orcs capitalists" or "fight corrupt guards instead of impoverished bandits." For them the distaste seems to be more at the idea of the eye-roll inducing virtue signaling ...
