I’m not bothered by Orcs being evil or whatever. Games/stories sometimes need a bad guy.

It's true, but you can have orcs be bad guys without saying that they're *always* evil by birth as well.

And there have been times historically where D&D has taken the concept in a very fantasy genocide-y direction which is not a good thing to do at all. Like, it's one thing to say that games need a bad guy, but when you start taking that concept and using it to talk about how lawful good characters should logically start murdering orc children, I think people are justified in having a problem with that. So I definitely understand the criticism, even though I'm fairly OK with the idea of having a race of villains in a fantasy setting because it's fantasy as long as everyone involved remembers that it's a story.

Basically, this is a "nerds ruined it for everyone" situation to me.
