it's quite interesting how people by calling russians "orcs" and the like are becoming the thing they fear the most. all without noticing.
It’s used for Russian soldiers. And it’s indeed dehumanizing, as if the Russian army isn’t doing that themselves.
And yeah, it’s propagandistic, like some Russian propaganda channels tried to introduce “pigs” to refer to Ukrainian soldiers. But that didn’t seem to have caught on.

that's the point of armies. see full metal jacket for an artistic depiction.

take a look on /pol/, it very much has caught on there, just like the orc terminology.
tbh, i wrote this post because of stuff you posted/boosted. take the boy raped link: it was from the ombudsman who just recently was removed by the ukrainian parliament in parts because of the focus on pushing unproveable rape accusations and chillaxing in western europe instead of actually doing things.
everything from either side is propaganda bullshit tailored to fuck with our brains.

Yeah, I don’t see the point of checking anything remotely political on Reddit, so I’ll take your word on the Pigs thing.
My post was a reaction as well, to other propaganda.
The ombudswoman story is interesting in itself, there’s probably a summary of the tensions in Ukraine in there somewhere.
