Maybe orcs have always been "soft", but it's taken a cultural shift to get to a point where they're allowed to be themselves.
In my DnD setting, all orcs are twinks or gentle butch lesbians.
That's where half orcs come from, yes.
In 5e it's explained as sometimes Orc camps make alliances with human settlements.
In older editions the explanation was a bit more concerning, and rhymed with grape.
