How are orcs able to maintain themselves as a threat to regular races despite being so technologically backwards and evil (thus, everyone hates them)?

Depends on the setting.

>technologically backwards
depends on the setting

the LOTR orcs were mentioned in-story to be quite clever, and their tools are crude-looking but effective
warcraft orcs are fairly intelligent and are mostly on the level with most humans, their lack of blackpowder being made up for with potent shaman magic and the ability to ally with ogres, trolls, and tauren

in DnD, orcs have the same pseudo-medieval tech everyone else has, with higher ranks of orc having plate armor and the occasional +1 sword

They're not always technologically backwards, really i think the bigger problem is the trope of them having a highly aggressive culture and nature (even compared to their contemporaries). Take Elder Scrolls and Lotr, all things considered, their Orcs are relatively advanced in their own way, especially in the smithing and warmaking category (Lotr Orcs are an industrialized war machine that can mass produce weapons and armor for thousands of warriors, ES Orcs are actually good castle makers and relatively quality smiths). Both these cultures are highly aggresive, and often screw each other and other factions over, Aragorn had to basically put the Orcs in a reservation so they could spend their time raiding and killing each other and there's actually a very good reason every iteration of Orsinium got razed like 4 times despite leaders working so hard to found the city (because they either raided other people or backstabbed each other).

Maomaofag where are you? I only click these threads to see how many different disgusted expressions you can scrounge up.

How are you able to keep making such dogshit threads even though no one likes them or you?

Anons get triggered and spam every thread with selected images in the OP.

some faggot has been spamming the board with low effort threads to show off art commissions

Not nearly as interesting as I had hoped.

>>97933374
I don't, but as far as I can see he confines it to puckee threads.
>>
>>97933526
He gets basic fantasy art commissions and then spams them here with inane threads that don't add value to anyone else's day.

Fuck off.

How is a board spammer able to sustain himself when all he does is repost the same images over and over for years?
Kill yourself puckee

Pretty such he only makes the threads and doesn't follow them through, so it doesn't take all that much time. Board is so slow bumping once a day can keep something in catalog forever (see also: the zombie of /tg/ drawthread), so maybe 10 minutes a day to keep whole bunch of people seething.

Traditional games?

>>97933526
Redditor whom gets ai generated commission's - yes, he pays for them, then spams them here and on several other sites. Even other redditors hate him which, if you know how much enforced toxic positivity there is over there, should tell you everything.
Unfortunately here the mods collude with and protect him, to the point that calling him out can result in a 3 day ban, and his actual user name on preddit is filtered.

It's all just sheer physicality.

Insaane, this picture is so eye-catching! You must have really fancy pics dude.
Breath-taking images, wow is that an orc? This might be the best one i've ever seen!
