Did I mention any of those two races while I made the comment? Cause me thinks I DID NOT.
Some Helfers on the other hand have takes regarding the unplayable Helves as their very pet race indeed (OP Mary Sues / Gary Stus with not even a inch depth in characterization apart from being ârightâ for the lols of it -oh, and total devotion to Human Potential too-). And those were the people I was talking about back there.
Feel free to disagree if you want but we both know individuals as such DO exist in your fandom, dude. Fortunately they´re just a loud minority.
Man, Veeresa in the novels was 100% understanding on the Belves and their ideology -to the point she admits she probably would had become one of them cause addiction hit her particularly bad-, and the only thing needed to make her an outstanding Belf hater was NOT Belves allying themselves with the Horde; it was her cousin kidnapping her children.
Her very âmatureâ response to her rogue cousin becoming an insane a-hole was to blame the whole of the Belf society for it⌠ergo my comment over âteenage rebellionâ. Cause the Horde had NOTHING to do with Veeresa and her minions hating on the Belves by starters (heck, it isn´t even used in Lor´s short story as a justification for Veeresa´s dislike of Aethas); the idea the SC became anti-Belf thanks to Belves rolling Horde was an idea used post ToW content material in the game and the novels.
Heck, her âapparent hateâ of the Horde is so âgenuineâ she was totes fine with joining the Horde affiliated Forsaken in War Crimes if this guaranteed her personal vendetta. And sorry but an individual willing to sacrifice her supposed political and cultural stance for revenge certainly doesn´t truly believe in those political and cultural principles for reals.
The problem man is that the introduction of that particular Helf group -the SC- as a response for Quel´thalas going Horde was never properly explained nor much less executed in the game. Heck, it´s incoherent AF when we consider them SC Helves never did anything to help Quel´thalas for 5 whole years -in which Quel´Thalas and the Belves weren´t Horde- but were too trigger happy to QQ and complain when Horde actually helped. So tell me, which kind of prejudiced a-hole ignores for years the plight of the people he/she supposedly worries and cares about but suddenly jumps to outright dislike and hate when those people finally end up getting help from former enemies because literally nobody else gave a f***, hmmm?
I repeat: the problem with the SC was that they weren´t introduced to the game as the staunch âwe became anti-Belf because we´re anti-Orcâ Helf group; is that they were portrayed as âwe became anti-Belf because our lady and saviour Veeresa became so for lul reasonsâ.
I have no terribly issues with Alleria and the Allerian Stroghold Helves and any other Helf group in-game being heavily anti-Orc and anti-Horde precisely because this was part from their characterization since their very introduction into the game. The problem is unique regarding the SC cause they got 0 nuance with their portrayal.
