Evil horde narrative

People disagreeing with you happens, man. Turns out people other than Horde players are affected by the story even when its focusing entirely on the Horde. You can’t just will them out of talking because you’ve stopped caring. Support for Sylvanas’ continued leadership of the Horde and antagonism of the Alliance is not a partisan matter only for Horde to speak with privately to daddy Blizz about. It affects us and the fact that 1. We don’t actually get a “vote” and 2. You are asking crap like “Since when did the Alliance have a say?!” really speaks volumes about where we as players sit with both one another and Blizz.

Except for this being a strawman of Sylvanas, since she’s never been showcased as emotionally volatile before.

I’ll let Roghter fill in an answer for me since I agreed with them when this was posted a bit ago:

@Roghter-ghostlands

There’s nothing in the cinematic that states she is triggered in that moment and acting rashly. It’s just a popular fan theory that sprung up and, like many popular fan theories around Sylvanas, it’s lingering on like a bad fart.

There is no contradiction in the story here. What is said in A Good War is canon.

I mean… Roghter is straight up wrong. The plan was to invade. Then, she got mad, and utterly flipped, to the point that the single person in the world who is most devoted to her looked at her like she had two heads.

Unless it was her “true goal” from the start, which is equally out of character for being so utterly stupid and genuinely likely to alienate her powerbase(see Blizz’ talk of her preference for plausible deniability).
