Overview
While omaera (お前ら) is often used to abuse those who have shelved themselves, orera (俺ら, オレラ) has a nuance of solidarity with those who are behind the screen with a certain sense of cohesion and unity. It is also often used to refer to the achievements of such beings as our own, which we have done nothing to deserve.
Also, overseas netizens, otaku, Niconico users, anime fans, etc. are sometimes referred to as "we in (country name)" ((国名)の俺ら), e.g. "we in America" (アメリカの俺ら), "we in Taiwan" (台湾の俺ら), and so on.
Usage
Although it varies depending on the forum in which it is used, orera generally considered to be the following (needless to say, this is, of course, in prejudice). Don't worry if there are discrepancies between items. That's orera.
