Who are the orcs in the movie Lord of the Rings based on?
When Miyazaki said It's real people Internet freaked out but really What do they symbolize and what were they created as metaphor for?

they arent a metaphor for anything, they are just agents of evil, thats it. Miyazaki picked a really bad example

Uncouth working class Londoners

Unironically

Tolkienic orcs are based on Turks

Even russians see themselves as orcs.
