Any lore reason why some orcs are hunched and some are upright

I guess i'm just asking for peoples opinion since the difference is obviously for gameplay reasons but i'm funny about this stuff. I'm thinking they're probably like real life apes where some start walking upright and the reason so many orcs are doing it now is due to contact with the other races (Draneni for Mag'har) after so many years.

it was a simple fix blizzard took years to do. No lore reason.. they just hunched the orcs for some dumb reason.

Because too many orcs saw peons walking hunched over and thought it was some new craze and copied them.

If your orc is hunched over or upright for more than 4 hours please seek immediate medical attention.

Modern virtual medicine has done wonders for scoliosis. Like dental braces, not everyone can afford them, and it’s obvious who can’t.

The straight-backed orcs are the ones who used proper lifting techniques in the workplace.

Not sure if you realize this, but you can make a Mag’har orc hunched over too.

I prefer hunch orcs more, unless combat stance is upright which only priest and restro/elemental shaman, then I understand in some sense, I have Blackrock orc warrior who rocks the Hunch posture while my Shadowmoon orc priest is one that goes upright cause of casting stance

That is bit bias saying, don’t you think?

Hunch back orcs carry their comrades into tough battles, upright orcs want to be male blood elf and wear elven clothing!

Aren’t most big, muscular men a little hunched?
