OP

[(Anonymous)]

What initially pissed me off years and years ago was her post about how “the whole concept of orcs is irredeemable”: https://nkjemisin.com/2013/02/from-the-mailbag-the-unbearable-baggage-of-orcing At the time, trans women were using art of beautiful orc women as a way of representing beautiful trans women. There was this idea that you could have a big and burly figure and still be a lovely woman. So I thought her clarification that orcs “could never be beautiful” missed so much of what people were doing with the trope.

And then she used orogenes as a way of reclaiming negative stereotypes that black people were monsters, and I was like “so this is okay, but reclaiming orcs isn’t?”

(I tried to dig up the recent post about allegory, but couldn’t find it. I remember it was on Tumblr, and it was a response to a post about Rod Serling creating The Twilight Zone after facing censorship when he wrote a teleplay about Emmett Till.)
