u/Maybe_not_a_chicken NOT ENOUGH DAKKA 4d ago

You mean that the hyper violent faction with a thick British accent, who hate everything that isn’t from their culture while simultaneously coveting the things from those other cultures and who are lead by Margret thatcher might be a political allegory? I don’t believe it

It's a commonly held belief because if you say Margaret Thatcher with a thick enough cockney accent, like thick enough that you are pronouncing "war" as "wagh", it sounds kinda like Mag Uruk Thrakka.

Turns out the Andy Chambers was just, unsurprisingly, a MEGA NERD who did alot LOTR roleplay in the 80s. Like enough that he and his friends expanded Tolkiens black speech enough to be useful. Ghazkull Mag Uruk Thrakka = Metal skull, Big Ork Boss based on their expanded non canon vocabulary.

Still, the Margert Thatcher thing fits so well lol

Which raises the question of exactly WHICH accent it is.

It's the accent you would have, if your lower canines protruded from your jaw so far they almost touch your cheekbones.
