If Blizzard wants to create a bi-gendered race that’s similar to satyrs in appearance they are free to, but using the word “satyr” for them is culturally inappropriate, linguistically incorrect, and logically inconsistent.
Call them Goatoids or even Satyrites (which means only “like satyrs”), or anything else.
Technically by features WoW’s “Satyrs” are Fauns so… Roman rather than Greek. Key features that make them Fauns: Goat like horns, hairy goat lower legs and hooves, pointed ears, etc.
Anyway, put me down for a female satyr that follows that sick Legion concept art. My issue with many of the female demons (Hearthstone/WC3 female satyr, succubi, and night elf demon hunters) is that they all look like the exact same race.
why should they do that? world of warcraft doesn’t follow greek mythology. satyrs in world of warcraft aren’t male spirits. female satyrs fit perfectly well in world of warcraft and are, in fact, already established in warcraft lore.
Artistic liberty = You may pull from mythology but you don’t have to be true to it.
Gender inequality lawsuit = You should go out of your way to sure up, fix and explain any unequal gender based junk in your game. Lest you get yourself into further hot water.
