Okay, this is just straight up racist. Why do they keep using the word “horde?” This is so gross.

    That is very interesting, thank you for the explanation!

    I think I am a bit more sensitive since I see it used when referring to “hordes of Russian orcs” which feels racist. In this specific post it seems like the poster is trying to make a distinction between the civilized Slavic Ukrainians and the Mongol Russians.

      That is understandable and I agree that Nazis (both Ukrainian and Russian in my experience as a Russian speaker btw) love to make that distinction between a pure Slav/Rusich and impure Mongols.
