I'm honestly just worried someone will think that the descriptions I use for some post-human horrors in my setting will be seen as allegories for "something" IRL. On the one hand, anyone who thinks that they are deliberately an allegory for a certain group of individuals is basically insulting that group by insinuating it, but on the other hand someone with a poor knowledge of genetic and hormonal disorders could easily think I was trying to take a swipe at somebody.
The best part is that technically they could be seen as an allegory to at least four or five different groups, when their actual inspiration was the appearance of LotR orcs.
