I'm not a troll; I belong to the human race. I'm a Tolkien fan, to some extent.
I want to hear arguments that support these words.
I already provided reasonable arguments in the orc thread about why Papua New Guineans don't fit the orc aesthetic.

What exactly don't you like about orc-Papua New Guineans?
Okay, I'll admit it. I don't like them because they're not the orc-Mongols from Heroes 5, with all the implications, which I liked so much.

Here's what I want to say: it's original, unique, and sets Heroes apart from other games, but it can't be done that way, you see, it just can't. There have to be canons. The idea of orcs is a mixture of the infinite freedom of demons, which is not infinite in orcs, but limited by a certain nobility of humans, from whom they originated. You could say that orcs live "according to the code," unwritten but clear to all, based on freedom and strength. Their strength is also different; it's not the dictatorship and absolute monarchy of demons, but their own. And the steppe, with its boundless expanses, perfectly embodies freedom, while the harsh conditions of the taiga even better express strength and endurance. But what "ideology" is there in Papua New Guinea? Nothing is left of freedom; only strength remains, the survival of the fittest, linked to cannibalism. That's what I don't want: nothing fundamentally experimental from the game. No, I don't want Heroes 5 in new graphics, but I do want an ideological, logical continuation of the series, of course with new features, but ones that fit the style and idea of the game. Orc-Papua New Guineans don't fit.
Here, it's logical and adequate.
А что я здесь делаю то?
