This is why I always pick up as many languages as possible, because I find it more fun to be able to talk to and negotiate with the not-quite-people I run across, instead of murderhoboing my way through the demihuman population. If I want monsters to murder, there's plenty of things that don't think to butcher.';

Sadly the fantasy world is full of stereotypes. And orc raider rapists are sadly one of the big ones. And the goodly orcs have to live with such a retched reputation because of packs of assholes that love to drag there peoples name thru the mud every-time they leave there tribe lands to rape and murder those smaller and weaker than themselves.

But humans don't get off easy ether with the other races. What with all the demon worshiping dark lords and sorcerer diabolic cult kings we produce all the damn time. Hell humans have nearly destroyed the world so many times the elves have lost count.';

To be fair, that Murder Rape Orc's god sent an avatar into the last clan moot, and killed each leader who hadn't murder raped at least ten humans in the last year, then cock slapped everyone on the premise simultaneously before disappearing in an explosion of gore.
Or not. Depends on the setting. Turns out the orcs live in an absolute shithole of a region because they got pushed into it during the mythical era, when the gods had a global cockfight over which one was the best one.';

I did that, actually. Elven magical dick waving led to an apocalypse, setting was 100 years post apocalypse, big extended hillbilly human clan used any not humans as slaves on a plantation, and had a few pre-apocalypse devices to maintain control. Was a fun blender of DnD, Stalker, and Fallout.';

Sure but there's probably still going to be a few that are just evil at their very core, like the Demonborne Gnolls of DnD. They literally can't be good because they have fiend blood and Yeenoghu will come down and eat you if you're not evil enough.';

I concur.

I mean I personally just view them as a quick two-word description of how to roleplay an NPC. Efreeti for example are generally Lawful Evil, therefore they are generally utterly selfish and completely okay with the idea of harming people to get what they want, while also generally adhering to the letter of their word (even if twisting the spirit to benefit them) and preferring tried-and-true methods to spontaneity.';

I am now imagining orcs and humans uniting because we have a reputation of being rapists when we’re just normal horny dudes with racial epidemic of xenophilia fetishes. The great man-Orc crusade of picking up chicks begins and no nation’s taverns and social spaces are safe.';

Sun elves are the fucking worst people on Toril. Even putting aside the organization devoted to the eradication of mankind (the existence of which the Harpers insist on hiding for some fucked-up reason), they've caused so many fucking problems for the elves and the world at large that their fucking off to Evermeet resulted in a marked improvement in everyone else's lives. Them coming back is the worst thing to happen to Faerun.';

'Monolithic races are lame most of the time. That's why each race In my fantasy setting is divided into tribes and nations with different connections. Some lizardfolks are on peaceful terms with humans and trade with them, others are openly hostile towards them and vice-versa.

and then there are the drow, so really sun elves are the worst kind of elf on the SURFACE

It's how it worked in mythology, but I guess you don't know anything about culture that's older than a century.

I feel the same way and it's completely Star Trek's fault.';

I like how LotR did it.
Evil corrupts and any mortal who is "evil" is just various degrees of corrupted.
Like a LotR is just an elf that was twisted into evil by giga-satan and then bred to remain evil, but when not actively being enslaved by some dark power they mostly just hide away in some caves somewhere.
They're victims, they don't want to fight, but where there's a whip there's a way.
It makes the people holding the whip, the actual BBEG, that much worse.';

Fuck that, I have humans for that, if I add a fantasy race is because I want to get some alien stuff for them, muh grey scales is boring as fuck and it ends in California fantasy with orcs sipping lates and the rest of lame stuff.
I have various races and they are divided in allies of humanity, independent, and haters of humanity, and that's all the axis that matter. Humans want to make the planet more habitable to themselves and they allies (of course there are nihilistic pricks in the humanity camp than want to make it imposible to habitate), the independents don't have a horse most of the time, and the later want to make the world unliveable to humanity and co.';
