It feels like it could become another harmful, racist stereotype if we all keep repeating it and defending it. Like, when the war is over, will Russians still be called orcs? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] SCB@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago* [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
