Pandaren are Wc3 canon. Also who cares about appealing to furries? Why do you hate furries so much? Think you have better things to spend your mental energy on then hating a group of people that aren’t doing anything to you. You don’t have to play any of the furry races and as for seeing them. Grow the hell up? I see a lot of things I don’t like but like a grown adult I just ignore it. I honestly don’t like humans in fantasy settings all that much. And there over-saturation in the alliance story is why I prefer horde for the lore. Back in classic dwarves led the new alliance and ironforge was the capitol. Now it’s human, human, human. And you’re playing a pale skin, blonde hair, male human paladin. Can’t get much more cliche then that. But if I can tolerate you and your ilk you can tolerate furries. (Not that I especially identify as a furry unless liking furry races in games make you a furry, then I guess I’m a furry).
Things change, evolve, grow, expand. It’s natural. To resist it… is to drown in it. It is inevitable.
You’re assuming everything needs to change or evolve.
Again, certain things don’t need to or should. They do, but that doesn’t mean it was a good move. If that was the case, wow wouldn’t have eroded players. People wouldn’t stop liking things they once did due to those changes, etc.
Also, I don’t hate furries. This just isn’t a furry game and I don’t want it to be. I want a serious game with a few gag jokes.
Mmm need is irrelevent. Evolution is inevitable. And it comes whether you like it or not.
I’m more assuming it has a big part to do with age and MMO’s losing popularity compared to 10 years ago. As far as I know WoW is still the most popular MMO available.
The game started with tauren so your argument is invalid.
Furries don’t make a game lose serious-ness. If you actually pay attention to the story MoP had some of the darkest story-archs this game have ever had. And other then the dolly and dot song the Vulpera questline was pretty serious. It was about a group of slaves rebelling against their enslavers. But ok being furry and it’s suddenly losing it’s seriousness because “reasons”.
You have a bias against furry and it clouds your judgement.
Not at all. My bias is based entirely on the looks. Tauren don’t look like furry convention animals or weeb idols. Vulpera do. Pandas do. That’s all there is to it. It’s purely based on looks and the aesthetic it has in the game. it’s clouding nothing, because there is nothing more to cloud. If they suddenly made tauren cute, I’d say “screw those beefcakes, take them out” just as fast as I have with vulpera.
They are literally humanoid bulls… that’s textbook definition. They aren’t bears/wolves/foxes/cats which are the most common in furry circles but they are most certainly furries.
Gnomes are cute. They’re just not furry. So you don’t have a problem with cute, you have a problem with cute furry. Which is very specific. They can be cute (gnomes) or they can be furry (tauren) but gods forbid they’re both (Pandaren)…
I don’t feel a need to examine why my brain works the way it works. It’s informed by plenty of things. Also, gnomes aren’t cute, unless you think those hairless cats are “cute” or pugs are “cute”. Small != cute. They’re eccentric, but at baseline, hairless things aren’t considered cute, whereas baby animals are almost always universally considered cute. Foxes as well are almost always considered cute.
Personal opinion that I do not share. They’re midgets, not babies, and certainly not baby animals (which vulpera are).
As far as “questioning why you do or don’t like something” no. I don’t feel the need to question opinionated stuff like that. Blue is my favorite color. That’s about all I care on the topic, not why… not how… not “what happened in my life to make me think this way”… just simply that I recognize it IS indeed my favorite color.
Same thing for cute races in wow. I don’t care why I don’t want them here, I just know that I don’t and that’s all that matters to me.
Vulpera’s aren’t baby animals? They’re short, not babies. Same as gnome, or goblins.
I do not envy your closed off existence AT ALL. I constantly psycho analyse things like “Why is purple my favourite colour” I especially psycho analyse things I don’t like twice as often as things I do like.
Mmm, well if you aren’t gonna question your beliefs they have no merit or value. Ta-ta.
“If you’re not gonna question you beliefs” I do when they actually merit it. Like questioning the rationale behind why I have a political view. What I like is strictly an opinion.
As far as logic is concerned, if something is indeed an opinionated topic (meaning there is no one universal truth) then any view on the matter is equal as far as argument-sake is concerned. If i’m not wrong (read: in direct contradiction to a hard universal fact, such as “the earth is spherical and not flat”), I don’t feel the need to change, and neither should anyone else.
You might not think it has merit, but I don’t need you to in order to feel fully supported in my thought.
