I can see why on the surface you might think it’s a conservative meme, but it’s not. It’s poking fun at how rigid and yes potentially racist fantasy settings can be.

Racism is a fantastic way of introducing conflict without having to come up with a particular reason. And stories without conflict are often really boring. Comes with the bonus points of being realistic.

Soooo… You want the fantasy racism to be justified?

Like in what way? Ideally, every bit of world building would be justified, but thats not always realistic.

Unironically, the elves aren’t racist against orcs. Orcs were elves that got corrupted.

Arent there worlds where theyre made of clay? Or other origins?

Pretty much the only consitent thing about orks are that they big, dumb, and muscle bound.

You’re just trying too hard to justify the meme, OP’s title is about cancellation, probably just copied wherever OP found the meme, and the meme itself is phrased to push the point that “woke” ruins even fantasy literature, this is a Right wing meme post.

I can assure you the title is tongue-in-cheek for humor. You’re reading way too much into it.
