I heard Tolkien regretted making Orcs inherently evil and was thinking of replacing that with something else, but I cannot find which letter was that in.

Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races? -
Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races?I wish it was true that this is only "people who only play D&D" problem but I have also seen those argument with people who participate in rpg online communities or forums where they know and play other games. I've seen videos whining about orcs come from same channel with something like a 100 reviews of various different rpgs. Sadly I do not think this is only people who only play D&D who are the problem here. -
Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races?I really think people blow this crying about Orcs out of proportion, there was NEVER an actually interesting villain in this game whose reasons of being a villain boil down only to "I'm an Orc, Goblin, Drow or other evil race". And saying a whole species is inherently evil effectively diminishes all evil they do because you are saying they never could choose not to do it, which reduces them to children who don't know better. People should move on and stop flooding my yt feed with identical videos repeating the same points. -

I've literally never heard of anyone playing it [PbtA]I played two PbtA games but neither was Apocalypse World. Which is weird sicne I ehard it holds up and has no controversies, unlike Dungeon World.
