It is early and I am too tired to try to rephrase it. But like I said before, I don't think the evil orc trope, or evil orcs in fantasy RPGs are racist. And I don' think the tie to colonialism is super obvious.
I think you've been clear about that. The issue isn't that you are unclear. The issue is that several folks here think you are *simply wrong*.
And... so... what do you want?
My main contention was taking a fine tooth comb to this stuff, in my view, doesn't really help...
Again, I think you've been clear. The issue here isn't that you are unclear, but that folks *do not agree with your points*.
So again - Every communication has some (occasionally implicit) purpose, and some intended audience. Who are you writing to, and why?
