Orcs are not human beings. they are a separate species.
I beat on Elves, Githyanki (who might be on a technicality at least partially human), Illithids, you name it, I beat the crap out of it.
Because they're attacking me, or I've been hired to get X and they're in the way, or it might be my character has a reason that, while I may find it wrong, he or she does not.
Hey man, you're the one that misspelled it and bolded it. lj has a spellcheck, and you should use it.
also: could you please answer my question? thank you.
They might have been a 'picking on race' once, but they're not anymore. They might not be well-liked by some players, but they've got their fair share of hero ones (whee Paladin orcs!).
D&D 3.0 onwards removed the automatic alignment thing. Every race can be Every class.
Right now, I play a character of a technically evil race (Githyanki), and he's a good guy, if cranky. D&D/D20 isn't near as bad about thsoe things as it might have been.
Devas that are evil, Demons that are quite good; all of these are in it now.
I thought he was trying to connect Orcs to people. I've seen people do it, so it was a valid concern.
Sorry.
...I still wanted to see his reason why anyone that enjoys fictional violence can't have a gun.
Seeing as "go fuck yourself" is too abstract of a concept for you, how about "go take your fucking numbered polygon collection and shove it up your nose?"
Sorry, my mistake... polyhedron. I have expressive language issues when upset. Part of my particular form of autism is that the more emotional I get, the less able I am to express myself.
This morning, I composed and posted something of a general "fuck you" to people who bitch and moan about my spelling. While clearly inspired by you, it's not actually about you, except in a general sense of you being one of those people. However, Conuly did comment about you and your intentions. By way of simple social receprocity, I responded to her about my own intentions. Since this post is intended more as a "go FAQ yourself" to people who may bitch and moan in the futyre, I'm going to set Conuly's comment and my response back to screened after the weekend. However, if you'd like to see what my beliefs are regarding the people I would, had I the power, place in the armed forces, I have attempted to (forgive the pun) spell this out at some length.
