Looking to flesh out some of the injustices that plague orc kind. Wondering who would be interested in that kind of project.

Bringing real world racism and topics into writing can be iffy. RE: Orc Lives Matter (OLM) - Sasuke Uchiha - 04-08-2018 Here are the reasons why I think Orcs face racism and injustice in the Omniverse: Quote:Camelot verse description: Reason why I wanted to flesh it out was simply to add fuel to the fire with Garrosh. Quote:Garrosh Bio: RE: Orc Lives Matter (OLM) - Kelly MacAryn - 04-08-2018 Nobody's saying that IC the Orcs don't have valid reasons to feel angry or persecuted, or that you can't write stories about that. I think the problem people are having here - I know its something I've been tripping over a little - is that you seem to be trying to draw a direct parallel between fantasy racism and some of the heinous crap going on right now in real-world America; a swirling powderkeg of suspicion, justified anger, defensiveness, helplessness, self-righteousness, systematized victimization and knee-jerk unthinking rage. You're tapping a pretty deep, dark well - which can make for great writing if handled well... but can also feel like you're shouting at your reader. Is there racism in Camelot? Hell yeah. I've included it in my own writing. But by naming this thread what you did, just by way of an example, you immediately made everyone who's ever written the death of an orc feel weird, which made people question your ability to carry this off tastefully - and thereby hangs a very long chatbox discussion. Anyway. That's all I got. |
