I don’t really care about that, but I havent heard anyone really bats an eye at how we keep resummoning the same demons after they die even tho the twisting nether is gone now bc argus died
There’d still be discrimination and racism even if Blizz did remove “enslave demons”. Typical “video games cause violence” rhetoric. You know how much genocide we perform, on the daily, in this game? Does that mean this game “encourages” us to go out and kill people? NO! We know killing is wrong and in turn, I hope people know and realize slavery is wrong and don’t practice what they see in video games.
Nah, it’s part of the Warlock’s lore. Why do you think a select few races get to be Locks?
You know what else is wrong? SW abandoning their homeless, and only Vanessa Van Cleef (who’s portrayed as a villain) is the only one to care about it.
Or, the Horde deciding to murder an innocent town, in Stormsong. And, “witch burnings”, in Drustvar. There’s A LOT of messed up stuff in this game, but that’s why we like it.
To expand on this, I (mostly) play Alliance, and my favorite Alliance Races I’m willing to play are the following:
Humans
Night Elves
Draenei
Worgen
Pandaren
Void Elves
Lightforged Draenei
Kul’Tiran
Only three of those races can be Locks, and I refuse to play a casting class on Worgen, so I’m limited to only two races, for Locks, via the Humans & Void Elves. The rest cannot be Locks.
Slavery is wrong, but in fiction, some people like playing evil characters for variety in story telling. (villains, dark antiheros, et, cetera,)
I see nothing wrong with it as long as it is not framed as a good thing. The demons in this game are just pixels and not actually real people.
SW/Sentinel Hill’s lack of helping the homeless and painting Vanessa Van Cleef (the only one who cared about it) as “the villain” makes me not appreciate being forced onto a side, I don’t agree with, and these are depicted as Humans. Granted, they aren’t real people but nonetheless I hate how SW/Sentinel Hill handled the situation.
There’s some messed up stuff involving humans, in this game. Arthas going on a murder spree, in Stratholme (granted, I understand they were infected but still, harsh even Jaina was like “nah”).
As I told the other poster about the homeless humans, out in Westfall. Or the “Witch Burnings”, out in Drustvar, are all human related stories. The “witch burnings” can be viewed as kind of sexist because the whole “Witch Trials” burned so many women. Personally, I think it was just an attack on their intellect rather than them being witches. Because they didn’t conform to society’s standards of what a woman is supposed to do. And, the Drustvar involves saving a female from being burned.
But, hey, I’m all for it because we do end up saving her but still. There’s some dark messed up stories out there, in the World of WARcraft, go figure
EDIT: Oh, and the DK starting zones (at least if you pick the original races that could be DKs) having you slaughter around innocent people. Granted, we were being controlled, but they still force the players to perform these horrible acts.
Your defense is that Demons are not Humans. I told you there are Humans that go through messed up stuff, that the OP is concerned about, or (at least) similarly.
Female Humans being accused of being a “witch” 'cause she doesn’t follow the “standard” set by society. There are humans, in this game, that you claim/set the standard of when to care about something.
So, again, my response is relevant, if the standard is the characters must be human. You didn’t specify “real people”, only. As even the humans, in this game, aren’t real.
Personally, IDC about the messed up stuff happening to humans, demons, animals, etc., in a video game. It’s part of the game. I can choose to engage with the game or not. Even if I were to agree with the OP that yes, slavery is bad (human or not), I don’t think it should be removed from the game.
Now, if you want to argue, for the sake of arguing, then I’m not interested. I’ll block you, just like I block many others who insist on arguing.
It’s been awhile, since I played a Lock. I can probably name stuff from Vanilla Classic times of Locks. Like “Drain Life” and/or “Soul Drain” are pretty harsh spells to be casting at things. Then again, I think every class/race is a murderer due to how much mass genocide we perform, on a daily basis LOL
