I highly recommend the documentary Hot Coffee. That case is the first one they discuss and it shows you it was way more than just spilling a cup of hot coffee. There were numerous complaints about how hot they kept their coffee at. That woman spent a lot of time in the hospital and required skin grafts and multiple surgeries. The pictures were horrific.
Oh I’m well aware it was horrific - but I needed a quick example of how human beings don’t necessarily have foresight on things that seem really obvious in retrospect.
If the process is somehow different - it has not been shown or evidenced in anyway - and to do so now would break the previously established pattern.
…this is two (2) data points. And there is evidence:
It’s established lore that same sex partnerships are common and accepted on Azeroth, this would also include Stormwind and its monarchy. Why would Stormwind be unique in forcing its monarchs, regardless of their preference, to be in heterosexual unions?
A society where same sex couples are an accepted and welcome possibility would have other ways for their monarchs to carry out this responsibility than having biological children.
