    I know Hexbear frowns upon the word, but how can westerners call other people in Russia "orcs" and not look inwards to their own countries? For centuries, western countries are the orcs. This whole "tough guy" culture is something that should rightfully be called Orcishness.

    Can't wait for humans to go extinct because western men are too insecure with their masculinity to run anything.

      So insecure and toxic with their masculinity that they can't even raise children or court women. Really makes me think of the "fellas is it gay to have sex with women?" joke or animal research where they found male mice selected for aggression were an evolutionary dead end due to failing to consistently reproduce.

      If I had the patience to write I'd probably write a story about exactly that; Westerners as orcs who think they're the elves of the world.

        westerners are numenoreans. made wealthier and healthier than the rest but not through anything they did, simply because elves gifted it to them.

        and then they colonized the rest of the world and cut down all the trees.

        Right, like I would mockingly call white people "elves" but they would probably take it as a compliment.
