Transcription:
A picture of a skinny female orc with the side of her head shaved. She wears an armless red dress and a black shawl, as well as matching red bracelets and a black choker with a gold heart at the front.
At the top of the image is the text “You may not like it, but this is what” in large bubble font
At the bottom of the image is a screenshot from the new D&D changelog, reading “• Orcs no longer have the Powerful Build feature.”
And below that, the text “Peak 2024 D&D orc performance looks like” continues the bubble font from the top.
The spoiler description says the orc is female but it’s dross’ Onyx, it’s a male twink orc not a female
So?
I was going to say “misgendering is bad” then I realised its a bisexual joke >.>
Joking about my sexuality and self deprecating humor…it’s all I got
pat pat
A picture of a skinny female orc …
If I’d seen the pic without text, I’d have assumed it’s a femboy orc. Which I’d also find funnier since the morphology of female orcs already varies a lot depending on the artist’s tastes and intentions whereas male orcs are more consistently depicted with a strong build.
My money is on femboy orc as well. Unless she’s wearing a super tight binder or something, that looks like visible pecs rather than cleavage.
My money is nowhere and I just ‘want’ it to be a femboy orc.
My money is lost, has anyone seen it?
There’s a thief on the lose, suspect n°1 is a femboy orc!
Good guess. That appears to be a character by Dross named Onyx, who is male.

Myth confirmed
Um, actually, this is not a “bubble font”. The font used in this meme is called “Impact”, and it’s commonly bundled with MS Office. ☝️🤓
… there boutta be an explosion in the population of half-orcs.
Has anyone seen the bard?
He’ll be in momentarily, hey hey.
Inconvenience by snu-snu.
…well, no: sixth-edition core rules no longer support half-races, something-something-against-racism?..
The solution to racism is not to let them breed together? 😕
We will cure racism through genetic purity!
…to be explicitly clear: i believe that we’re all sarcastically mocking WotC’s editorial choice to eliminate half-breeds from the core rules in order to combat real-world racism…
(i wouldn’t be surprised to see mixed races included as an advanced option in the new dungeon master’s guide, though)
Iirc it’s more of a lexical change: until now, half-something automatically assumed the other half was human, making the human race central in the setting. To allow for more liberty, most (all?) humanoid species will become interbreedable and you can choose the traits from one ancestry or the other.
so what Pathfinder does?
In Pathfinder 2e I think Half-Elf, half-Orc, and their equivalent of Tiefling and Aasimar are variants you can apply to other species.
So, they’re like a different green version of an elf now?
More like a taller version of a goblin
Tall Goblin is called a Verdan.
Isn’t that twink a Goblin, tho?
Also, I’m ok with this, helps diffirentiate them from Goliaths. And Orcs were never potrayed as Goliath-sized.
Isn’t that twink a Goblin, tho?
…No, it’s too easy…
we love an easy twink, especially one who’s a’ Goblin
Not a player nor a DM, so correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it basically photoshop human now? Grab a human, shift colors until skin is green…orc? :|
Yes it is. It’s like they wanted to do what PF2.0 did with Ancestries but also do a really shitty job of it. It’s fine though; 3.5e, 5e, PF1.0, and PF2.0 are all still out there for anyone who wants to run better systems that are still “DND.”
The fucks wrong with the hands? Is this ai generated?
Nah this is hands drawn correctly but not well, AI draws hands well but incorrectly.
(relatively speaking, its still hands drawn better than I can)Edit: Then again the ears are odd and the black thing vanishing under the clothes is confusing. Normally AI can’t understand that objects going behind another object have to come out the other side and this passes that test but it also just looks weird in a way a human wouldn’t do.
Count the Fingers
Not all races have 5 fingers?
Do orcs? The thumbs aren’t looking great either, the righthand nail bleeds over and the lefthand thumb appears to point downwards.
I’ve always been joking about playing an “orc poet” in Shadowrun as a way to do something totally sub optimal :) TIL that you can also play orc in D&D. And cute orcs can definitely change the world building
Playing smart or charismatic orcs is totally fine in Shadowrun, it’s not that suboptimal. You have to spend a bit more karma at the start to overcome the lower starting charisma, but it’s not bad at all.
I wish the DnD/roleplaying community wasn’t as hopelessly horny as it is.
This community is a bit like a teenager: moody, a bit horny, is better with animals.
I resent that remark!
*resemble
Better add resentful to the list as well
DM: … and of course Druids can learn Wild Shape, which allows them to transform into a beast that…
Player: STOP. I want to play that one. A druin or whatever.
Tbh I agree that “horny bard fuck dragon” memes are tiring. But I actually didn’t read this meme as horny. I thought it was just “hey, you expect your orc to be buff and muscly, but NO! She lithe and slim!” Basically just poking fun at WotC for removing a feature called “powerful build”.
… she?
That’s a femboy, friend
