Well yeah. Mythologically orcs were pigmen, but between Warcraft, the Lord of the Rings movies, and several other popular depictions, the idea of orcs evoled in the west, while the east still has the older form of orcs. They also think kobolds are dog people because they misinterpted a D&D description of snouts like dogs, to be actual dog snouts, so at least this has precidence rather then simply being a misunderstanding they refuse to fix.Those look less like orcs and more like pigmen.
Ugly-bastardly looking pigmen.

the game is japanese and for some reason, that's a very popular depiction of orcs. apparently, the Japanese see orcs as pigmen. I suspect it has something to do with the way it translates.Those look less like orcs and more like pigmen.

a lot of hentai depict them as such. they associate orcs with obesity and ugly faces, as opposed to demons (oni) which are muscular and usually hairy in some way.

Can i get a link to the source where you got this idea from?
Nah, likely has to do with the way pigmen look more like ugly bastards, rather than anything else lmao.

ummm no? the original orcs were like elves. generally smaller than humans, mischievous, malevolent. a lot of folklore monsters like dwarves, elves and orcs didn't have a distinguished description. Tolkein made them into what they are. he designed the "beautiful person, magical tree hugger, pointy ears" characteristics for the elves, the "bearded, short, miner" one for dwarves and the "warrior, barbaric, flesh-eating" identity for orcs. he created the original D&D party of adventurers as "the fellowship". but even in his works, orcs aren't pigmen.
this is how the japanese depict them. you don't find it anywhere else.
could be a reason. I watched an interview with a former JAV actress and she talked about how they have a weird love/hate relationship with ugly bastards. the japanese hate them because they're ugly while love them because they give you a sense of confidence in yourself. because you're not AS ugly. so they use the ugly bastard look WAY more often. even if somehow a person looks like them it's still positive because it means even an ugly bastard can get a girl. weird, but logical.Nah, likely has to do with the way pigmen look more like ugly bastards, rather than anything else lmao.
could have other reasons. idk

This developer and I clearly have different views on what constitutes ”the color green”.

While not to that big of an extend, this is like saying an incest story about moving to a new city for college isn't fresh and unique.
in Japan, they're STILL a pigmanThose look less like orcs and more like pigmen.

Wasn't really complaining, just pointing out the only other orc rapist MC game on this site has the same story.

Since there's quite a few comments on stuff not working, I'm gonna hold off on this till there's a patch fix.

Not these days, but back in the 70s/80s orcs actually were sometimes depicted as pigmen in western rpgs. If you google Orcs in the first edition of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons they're drawn as straight-up pigmen, and if you google Hordes of Dragonspear, a module from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition they're still drawn fairly piggish there.
probably due to partial translation of the game, it could happen again given similar condition, i'd extract it while using japanese enconding to be sure, but if you don't i'll just wish you luck on not having similar bug (no irony or sarcasm, any ill will from me so little it is, is directed to the crappy progam that tl things half-assedly and make us player blow a fuse on a regular basis T_T)
