You don’t understand Russian culture, they’ll wear Beast/Monster like a badge of honor. Orcs on the hand has negative connotation, because Orcs are usually bad guys.
- FooBarBizBazz 2y agoFair point. Even in America there is "Monster energy drink", and you might exclaim while watching sports, "man, that guy's a beast". It's just hard to make words stick in general. The British made fun of "Yankee Doodle", so the Americans made it their themesong and marched to it.
