They both can occur. But postulating events that occurred between them is still head canon.

Sure. Events that occur one only one side are not canon.
After all, do we think that the Alliance kidnapping Pandarians and forcing them into labor camps is canon?
The most you can say is that that the Alliance and Horde accounts of the treatment of civilians in Darkshore are different.
Yes. I’m not sure why this would be in question. Are you taking the stance that only cross-faction questing content can only ever be canon? Because I feel like the entire game falls apart if you try to look at the story that way.

That is why content that only occurs one side isn’t canon.
You decanonize all of BFA and its war campaign with that logic.
Which don’t get me wrong, that sounds great, but it doesn’t work.

Event that occur for both sides are canon. Teldrassil was burned.
And, for the record, finding a gap in time where you can insert head canon events doesn’t make them happen for both sides. The killing of all the civilians in Astranaar never happened in Horde content.
The current developers wanted to retread a story they felt they could do better than the people who previously told it. I would say pride, arrogance, and regret of the writers put into the story.

Again, because you’re having trouble understanding this apparently. Just because the horde doesn’t see the event happen, does not mean said event didn’t. I don’t know why this hard for you to understand
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but that sounds like you’re then saying that events that don’t happen on-screen for one faction can’t be canon. The horde player refusing to kill the Astranaar civilians doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed to stay alive anyway. It’s not like you escort those specific ones to safety anyway, if I remember right.

This is perhaps to most untrue thing that has ever been said on these forums.
That’s impressive.

It always amazes me that anyone ever thinks that rants like these ever actually say any more than “I don’t agree”…
It is also truly remarkable how hard it is for certain people to admit they’re wrong.
You didn’t specify which so I monkey’s paw’d your request.

It amazes me you want to discount 50% of an expansion because it doesn’t agree with what you said about said event. That’s the truely amazing part. All because one side didn’t experience it.
Something always said be people who are refusing to consider someone else’s arguments.
You haven’t made any arguments. You made a baseless claim with nothing to support it.

It’s not an argument. You literally just said it’s Not cannon because the horde doesn’t experience it. Using that logic, we can discount a lot of things in game because one side or the other doesn’t get to see it or someone has no interest in hoping factions to experience it.
