These threads are always turning out to be the same. Let me summarize the next 10 pages, if the last three threads are of any indicator:
Person A: The alignment should say orcs are evil, because that's a quick and easy indicator to me to let me know they are evil without having to read any additional text."
Person B: "But if you have a default alignment, that's problematic for reason A, B, C, etc. If you want them evil at your table, just make them evil, but there's a lot of reasons not to make a humanoid intelligent species inherently evil as the game's baseline."
Person A: If you aren't lazy and read the the other additional text (yes, someone made this exact claim), they aren't
all evil, just defaulted that way, and you can change them to non-evil if you want."
Person B: "Didn't you
just get done saying you don't have time to read additional text, but now you want everyone else to read additional text or they're lazy?"
On a side note, I find it fairly dubious to read someone say they aren't "arguing that the
game should be this way" when they've done exactly that a week or two ago in the other threads. This thread and this conversation aren't happening in a vacuum. Did you change your mind? Possibly, but don't be surprised when people react to you based on what you were arguing previously as well.
