The orc thing really has fascistic vibes to it. But… people are actually using these terms for one another. What Hitler did is possible today just as much. For most of my life, there was just “The Wave” that showed this. Now it’s in real life and everywhere.
People need to take a step back and think about how to make an already bad situation better instead of worse.
For you, it seems to be a very logical and normal thing to do. For me, it is “group thinking”, and labeling people based on their superficial appearance/occupation/whatever.
It’s not okay to do that. It is inhumane. Don’t put people in categories. It’s almost never a good idea.

When it’s specifically used at the enemy soldiers? No, not really at all fascistic, more like anti-fascistic. It’s like calling the police pigs.

I don’t disagree, just wanted to point out that it’s not exactly correct to label such labeling as fascist.
Dehumanizing the enemy is one of the core elements of fascism.
