Hoffer, Christian (27 de abril de 2020). «Why Orcs Are Problematic in Dungeons & Dragons». ComicBook.Com(en inglés). Archivado desde el original el 18 de julio de 2020. Consultado el 29 de julio de 2020. «While orcs have their roots in goblins and other fairy tale creatures, the modern concept of orcs in tabletop games largely originates from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. As depicted in Lord of the Rings, orcs are inherently evil humanoid creatures, and Tolkien described them in a letter as "degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least-lovely Mongol types." Coupled with the fact that Tolkien depicted entire cultures as being representative of good or evil, many viewed orcs as a reflection of the "Other," a philosophical concept used to paint entire cultures as being somehow inferior or evil because they were different.»
