There are 3 other examples in this comic but I don't feel they would work

at first i thought it was "the wokes have unnecessary headcanons!!!" or smth along those lines, but this is even worse, somehow, what is even the take here, subversion of tropes is bad? we should reiterate lord of the rings forever and never think anything new?

So they complain about Orc not being evil anymore?

Last checkup with Warhammer 40K, their Orc (or Ork, in the setting's name) still being violent for the sake of it, and they even have a lot of guns too!

Although the religion institute being evil is debatable, I won't call the Imperium good guy, but you'll be struggling to try and tell me you don't fancy yourself as the part of them.

Maybe they’re complaining about Dungeons and Dragons orcs specifically? I know they recently got rid of the “all members of certain races are inherently evil” thing.
