Constitution and stature. Next.

Orcs are cool and they paint their vehicles red to make them go faster. Goblins are short stacks that fuck horses and are easily confused with loli.

Depends on the setting, but if we're going by LotR it's mostly just a size difference.

Goblin


-Sneaky little shit
-Speaks in a high voice
-Little and weak but quick and tricksy
-Probably good with technology
-Orcs look down on them

Orc

-Violent and warlike
-Probably dumb and brutish
-Makes for good grunts in an army, strong and hardy
-Probably speaks like a caveman
-Looks down on goblins, treats them as slaves, but can also kick their ass so it's okay

Going to sperg here. In the books there was actually no difference between goblins and orcs. "Goblin" the name Hobbits gave to Orcs. Goblins were about the size of a hobbit or just a bit bigger, whereas Uruk Hai on the other hand were the size of a Man and bred for war. The movies gave the distinction between Goblins and Orcs and the Uruk Hai were even larger still.

In the Tolkien legendarium that’s a heavily debated issue, but the reason for that is to try to force consistency.

The plain truth of the matter is that some time between The Hobbit and Fellowship, he just merged them.

It’s not the only example.. when he wrote “The Fall of Gondolin” as a short story, he continually called characters later known to be elves “gnomes.”

 

[Geddy Lee's Fee and See]

A goblin is small enough that it looks like the children Vaush jerks off to. An orc isn't.

 

[Lidl Drip]

Orcs are blacks and goblins are jews.

[Gog & Magog]

Orcs are often given a cockney accent whereas Goblins typically are not.

Goblins are implicated in the goblin-kike conspiracy, Orcs aren't.

The real question is what's the difference between an orc, a goblin, and a nigger?

Niggers look human.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

Niggers look human.

That's not fucking true and you, and everyone knows it isn't.

Maybe not compared to monkeys, but they look a lot more human than orcs or goblins.

Orcs and goblins literally both look exactly like niggers and you can't convince me otherwise.

The real question is what is the difference between orc metal and goblin metal. Yes, these are legitimate subgenres of death metal.

I've never had a girl Orc my dick but I have had one Goblin it.
