Some goober:it doesnt make sense that the forsaken night elves would be ok with fighting against their own people.
Me:*looks at the last few hundred years of all media involving ghosts dealing with the concept of death and undeath leading amgry spirits to hurt that which they love*
No one has ever said the alliance was perfect or didnt do dome fucked up shit.
But horde stans focus on the few shady, hypocritical or sggressive things the alliance does while ignoring the horde stuff.
Its like "well its ok for us to literally murder a whole town of civilians with a bioweapon because 1 of your commanders called us a slur
“Cant I?”

that moment the title references. best .5 seconds of my life honestly. THATS The banshee queen i grew to love (and hate)
they really know what they are doing and i'm so excited. this expansion is going to make me cry and scream and get mad and happy and fearful and i cant wait. I dont know if the alliance is going to go to far, if Sylvanas is going to be redeemed or cast aside for her sins or whats going to happen but i've been reading about Warcraft for 1/3 of my life. and playing it for just as long. My first books were Cycle of Hatred and Rise of the Horde and War of the Ancients. I grew to love both the Horde and Alliance and cant really 'get' those who dont because there are so many great things about both. I have characters who are loyalists, i have ones who are traitors, i have ones who only act loyal when it suits them. The main story of this game only affects my characters as it suits me but the devs give SO much to work with it almost seems to much.
I cant wait.
"Ug i cant believe blizzard is making the hopeful peace loving literal child a consistantly good person while making the genocidal mass murderer the bad guy.
Its such shitty writing it would be so much more edgy if the person who literally murdered thousands with the worst bio weapon ever developed was the Good guy and the teenager was corrupted into being a warmonger.
Doesnt blizzard realize there is no hope and we are entertained by suffering?"-some sad sack of shit
a man can dream cant he?
So apparently there is this small group of void elves a little to the side of the cathedral (viewable from the pond) who are hosting some sort of....emo club
more proof void elves are the best thing to happen to wow
3 kinds of players reacting to faction conflict in Azeroth
-Doesnt believe racism exists, so enjoys fantasy racism. sexism is just ‘realistic’. Having fun in a game at the expense of others is ok and encouraged. Probably plays Horde. Not sure if roleplaying or actually advocating genocide. White Lives Matter. Calls Jaina a Nasty Women. Only approves of female characters if they are sexy and mean (Sylvannas). Thinks Harrassing devs is the only way to get changes
- Doesnt believe racism exists, you brought up race, you’re the real racist. Thinks condemning Extremists in a faction is the same as condemning the entire faction. Sees ‘weak’ female characters as victims of bad writers (jaina) and Evil female characters are flawless fully justified in anything they do (Sylvannas). Never speaks up about harrassment but if someone decides to say something about it, they will spend the next 2 hours arguing about why speaking up is a waste of time and worse than calling people slurs.“Yes Black lives matter, but we cant support you unless you are completely nice to us”. Thinks Intersectional Feminism is Identity Politics. “I dont approve of what they are saying but i defend their right to promote genocide and racism. If you dont let nazis march then you are worse than the people calling for ethnic clensing”. Bernie Or Bust. Thinks the Women march was a rousing success. Plays Alliance
-Actual intelligent people. Understands problematic things while enjoying the good. Sees good reason to fight genocidal monsters like “not letting me murder and enslave people is Forsaken Genocide” sylvannas and “make Azeroth Orc again” Orc Supremacists. Doesnt confuse fighting evil with an entire race or faction also being evil. Doesnt see any reason why we cant fight the legion without turning our backs to each other. Can actually think rationally. Doesnt like the faction war but is honestly getting tired of ppl bitching about it. Plays both Horde and Alliance
