Black skin doesn’t look radiant or glowing?

Uhh what? I didn’t say it doesn’t.
Blizz admitted not having any dark skin tones was racist for these races recently and corrected that on retail- no surprise they’re returning to their racist ways to appease the classic community, and people say they don’t understand their community at all- it looks like they know them spot on.
“All changes, just don’t have any dark people” -signed classic wow community.

from the wiki:
“Around this time, they had become completely severed from the life-giving energy of the Well of Eternity. This meant that they were vulnerable to the elements and had not received immortality from Nozdormu and the World Tree. Over the generations they had shrunk in height, their skin had become a peach hue similar to most dwarves and humans, and their hair golden. The elves soon discovered primitive Man and the well established forest trolls of Zul’Aman, under the Amani Empire.”
“After many years, the high elves discovered a special land in the northern forests which suited them, and founded the City of Silvermoon and the Kingdom of Quel’Thalas. To sate their hunger for great magical power, the high elves created the sacred Sunwell here. It became the source of their power as the Well of Eternity had been in Kalimdor, although the Sunwell was much weaker, and the elves were forewarned of the dangers. As the high elves became more powerful, they cast an enchantment on the forests that bathed Quel’Thalas in eternal springtime, in defiance of the kingdom’s location on the extreme north of the continent.”
interesting, seems I’m right for the wrong reasons. they do indeed in lore have fair skin, but that’s because of their separation from the Well of Eternity, not due to the influence of the Sunwell

Key word.
Recently, anything is racist if anyone merely says it is.
Saying that something is racist that isn’t actually racist is a popular virtue signal.
The goal posts are way out of the stadium.

Notice how my link gave a source where yours doesn’t.
Link the source so we can laugh at you making stuff up
Pro tip… use wowpedia, wowwiki is full of dated or false information
I can’t post links, that’s why I specifically said
I checked both just to be certain. they both say the exact same thing

Use these to post links. ```````` (put words between them)
YouTube.com
Also I looked it up and that whole statement has zero source.
Another reason the wow wiki is constantly discredited versus Wow.gamepedia.com
|https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/High_elf|
check the Rise of Quel’Thalas section. says literally the exact same thing. you’re the one making nonsense up

People were denied the ability to make a character that resembles themselves, Blizz finally realized that was obviously racist. This is a pretty clear cut case of racism, and people like you are clearly supporting that.
Let me ask you this, as you rail against any attempt to bring black people back into the game- does it really hurt you so much that you need to ensure it doesn’t happen? Why is it so important to you that dark skin tones aren’t in the game?

It has no source which is 100% fact.
It’s saying it but links to nothing.
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/World_of_Warcraft:_Beginner%27s_Guide is the source to blood elves skin and hair reflecting their affinity to the sun/ fire.
That statement your obsessing over, doesn’t have a [6] linking it to any source
Troll post. Come on man, it’s obvious at this point.

The height of hubris… to think that skin colors of fictional races “representing” real-world human races matters so much. Or that people who don’t feel represented in a video game can’t play it… or are deeply hurt and offended when they do.
Is it really that unusual, in a game clearly founded -mostly- upon Western European tradition and mythology, to have mostly white races? Now, we also have clearly non-European stories and themes in WoW, and I welcome the recent customization options in retail (especially for humans, which makes the most sense).
However, I’m not a 70 year old white male, and yet I play one. I also play a purple skinned female. These characters don’t “represent” my race, age, or gender, nor do they need to. WoW doesn’t have a trans quadriplegic half-black half-Latino character option, so I guess by that metric the game is not only racist but ableist and transphobic right?
