That’s true, I just interpret “huh yuk I can mean the N word with this one weird trick” as racism. When the orcs are loud and boorish, that’s fine. When they love fried chicken and watermelon, it’s clearly a proxy.
Yeah, yanno I think that’s a fair interpretation. I don’t fully agree with it, but I can see your logic. I will say that, now that you mention the orc thing, I think I seeing something like that once and I think I remember the OP getting a warning for it being too real (I have a vague memory of seeing something like that and thinking, “okay, that’s too far, that’s not funny anymore” and then seeing a mod warning in the comments). It seemed like most of the users knew where the line was and tried to avoid stepping over it, but again, it’s been a while since I last bothered to look at Reddit (at least a year I think, maybe two), so I could be misremembering or things could have changed, etc.
