Maybe because Satyrs are an inherently sexual creature? Just as succubi and incubi are.
To be fair, a lot of stuff WoW âappropriatesâ has a near purely sexual origin; Succubi for instanceâŚ
This lends credence to the idea that WoWâs lore team doesnât actually really look at the source material when deciding to design somethingâŚ
I take it you are referring to me as the Opportunist? Thanks I will take that as a compliment.
I am just fighting against blizzards Sexism.
I could derail the thread about wows âNaughty stuffâ and content but I wont :).

Fact: Satyrs are essential male mythological creatures from Greek mythology. Theyâre so completely essentially male that even describing them in any detail would be a violation of the terms of use of the forums.
Fact: The source mythology of Satyrs includes absolutely no reference to a female from the same race of creatures because the idea of a female âessential male spiritâ animal is logically flawed to begin with.
Fact: Blizzard has, in the past, introduced a number of almost-the-same-as creatures and created âalmost-the-same-asâ creature names that would be perfectly acceptable here (Brutosaur, River Beast, etc).
Iâve never made any claim as inaccurate as the one you listed.
I mean, for all we know, itâs simply flaccid, hidden in the fur. Perhaps theyâre growers rather than showers.
That being said, WoW seems to enjoy butchering mythology just as much as as Harry Potter did. Calling manticores âwyvernsâ and such. So have at it. I just find this to be a really strange hill to die on, considering the etymology of the term and its whole reason for being.
Are you okay bro.
Indeed. A warlock who started the boob slapping and a Jesus race comments, the paladin who caught on to saidboob slapping and twisted it into an accusation of this being all about a fetish, and then the hunter who canât let go of Greek mythology that has nothing to do with this lore and isnât where WoW Satyrs came from, but loves yelling âAPPEAL TO AUTHORITY!â
No⌠those three genuinely hate the idea.
This is all that matters.

Entirely different in this universe for Warcraft. Just like theyâre different in Rift, too. Just like theyâre different in Roman mythology, too.
See how this works?

Iâd support this.
Fact: Blizzard Owns warcraft IP and can do whatever they want with it.
Fact: Blizzard can create races that are based on modern mythology even sharing the same names but make their version of said creatures Different. See tv tropes âOur orcs are differentâ

For the umpteenth time, âsatyrâ is a word of Greek origin. If Blizzard didnât intend for them to be satyrs, they should probably have named them something else.
I am not gonna talk about such things other than just say⌠What stays in goldshire should probably stay in goldshire.
You repeat yourself one too many times in an effort to make this into some sort of argument.
Relax man go touch some grass. Really get in tune with the saytrs ya know
Donât take this wrong, but I realized some time back that Iâm not going to live forever.
At some point you realize that itâs just choosing which things you donât want to die from and treating them.
Itâs like a game of Whack-a-Mole where the little critters start popping out faster and faster while you get slower and slower over time.
Eventually one of them is gonna get you.
Once you make peace with that, you stop worrying about.

Says the person that slapped up images of large-breasted âsatyrsâ? Wonder why people thought of that.

I honestly donât. Why use the term âsatyrâ at all if you arenât interested in the connotations?
