They aren't evil, they are Evil. They are corrupted souls, to the core. If you can't accept that, Fantasy might not be the correct genre for you. I love character depth in my enemies (although the tragic "evil by cultural upbringing" Drow is OLD by now), but Tolkien's orcs don't have any. His HUMANS on the other hand...
...the ****? Because I don't like the Always Chaotic Evil trope, I shouldn't be a fantasy fan? That's your argument?

Screw logic, history and culture. Because "racism".
That's an unreasonable strawman and we both know it.
