Maybe orcs have always been "soft", but it's taken a cultural shift to get to a point where they're allowed to be themselves.

Who says femboy orcs can't also be fierce warriors?

I like my orcs like I like my watermelons: big, green, tough on the outside, and incredibly juicy.

Hmm, the orc on the right seems familiar...

The reason is bards, isn't it?

Based if true

Back in my day, Orcs were only brutal monsters to be slain without remorse. If you wanted to be a green meanie you played a half-orc and you liked it and you didnt question the parental implications of your character!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't an implication

In my DnD setting, all orcs are twinks or gentle butch lesbians.

Do heterosexual orcs ever mate with humans?

That's where half orcs come from, yes.

In 5e it's explained as sometimes Orc camps make alliances with human settlements.

In older editions the explanation was a bit more concerning, and rhymed with grape.

That would be the origin of half-orcs in most settings, yes
