What is Humans are Space Orcs?

The "humans are space orcs" trope portrays humans as vastly different and superior to aliens, not just in physical strength but also in intelligence, unique approaches to tasks, and sometimes technological advancements. It doesn't require humans to be superior overall, but rather showcases the differences between humans and aliens.

This trope allows for scenarios where aliens are perplexed by human behavior or choices despite their overall superiority. While some people criticize this trope for being unrealistic, it's mostly enjoyed as a way to tell entertaining stories about humans while acknowledging their unlikelihood.

What is the purpose of this community?

This community is to share HASO themed stories, art, memes, writing prompts etc. The content can be in any format as long as it stays true to the trope.

Rules

  1. The content should be true to the Humans are Space Orcs trope.
  2. No bullying/bigotry is permitted.
  3. Follow the rules of sh.itjust.works.

Thanks for making this. I remember enjoying this stuff and HFY (Humanity Fuck Yeah) which was similar.
