This outrage will not be tolerated!

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 11:35 am

First off I'm all for a little racism, make fun of a khajiit here or there or maybe a slimy argonian no biggie, but I've been seeing this disturbing trend come up.

As a proud orc I pride myself on being rational and keeping my wits about me. But so far I've encountered 2orcs in my travels who were besieged by some ravenous wildlife and upon rescuing them they were mean to me and even attacked me!

And dont even get me started on one particular town that a hopeful orc is attempting to be their bard in. they all ridicule him and think he should be out clubbing some poor old lady on the head instead of delighting us with whimsical songs. They dont say it outright, oh but I can read between the lines.

This voilent orc stereotype that is condoned across skyrim makes me so upset I could tear someones throat out.

Orcs, Argonians, and Khajiits are treated the most unfairly in Skyrim.

Oh, so that's why you were removed from Hammerfell. Not tough enough eh? Well you won't fit in Skyrim if you don't grow a beard!

Not worse than dunmers. The nords hate dunmers for some reason. But then again they hate everyone.

I bathe at least 3 times a week thank you! Anymore frequent than that and the ladies wouldnt be able to smell my manly adventurers musk.

Spoiler
Don't worry about the Bard Orc, OP.

In the Dark Brotherhood quest line, I completed a contract to kill him.

He doesn't have to worry about ridicule any longer.

Care to put spoiler tags on your spoilers?

Moderator: You didn't help by quoting it did you. I had to add spoiler tags to your post as well. Plus edit it for flaming - not doing very well are you?

There are way more Dunmer than Orcs, Argonians, and Khajiit combined. Orcs and Khajiit are forced to live in camps. Argonians are low-paid dock workers. Dunmer can live freely as citizens.

Hey, I say if you're willing to dish a little racism against the other races, don't come whining when you get some too =P Not to mention racism is is just stupid.

Actually, there's a book that explains how the Dunmer are hated because they were just lazy good-for-nothing layabouts, creating the Dunmer equivalents of the favelas. The ones who came in and integrated into society were much more appreciated. So the hatred of Dunmer isn't universal by any stretch.

Khajiit, Argonians and Orcs, on the other hands... I don't want to hear your complaints. You think Redguards get love out in these streets?

Thanks for the spoiler... That just ruined part of the game for me.

On Topic, I am also an ORC and have not found another yet.

College of Winterhold has an Orsimer librarian. Apparently he possesses a rare gift for translating and interpreting ancient arcane texts.

Still threatens to smoosh your face if you mess up his library, though. Typical orc.
