Weird how murderous children is normal in the Imazighen-inspired Horde race of furries and all the Alliance races are pristine and normal.

This is such a throwaway line I forgot about it. Once I want a setting that doesnât push âelves are a dying raceâ as a matter of habit

That wasnât a âhordeâ alliance argument until you made one out of it already.
That was an argument that not every race is biologically works the same, that the environment in which the Vulpera live certainly doesnât allow every Vulpera cub that comes into the world to simplyâŚsurvive, itâs the fittest that survives.
This was not a condemnation from me, nor was it meant to be. But you have taken it that way again.
and btw:
the Alliance have
Dwarfs(Humanlike)
High elves (Humanlike)
Gnoms (Humanlike)
Humans.
Worgen (Human)
Kulâtiras (Humans)
For this, the Horde has no race that has no problems killing its own children for nothing (Darkiron).
Do you hear anyone debatte about that here?
Weird how this is a story written into this race and no such story, or comparable story, exists for the Alliance children. Strange! Curious!
Its funny how Sylvanas story is getting worse by the weak.

As written above:
We have 6 races that actually all function like humans in the alliance and i think, expect vulpera, all of horde races, so we have 16 Races atleast who work the same.
The Night Elves raise their children in the generality of their civilization (different from Humans) and Draenei I donât know anything about how they actually raise children.
So of these 6x Humans, only the Night Elves and their âimageâ of children really stand out from what we know.
The Voidelves we donât even know if they can have children, but would be a candidate for definitely alternative forms of âchild rearingâ.
And Darkiron are extremely cruel and ruthless to everyone, including themselves
I mean, itâs less about faction rivalry and more about the way the writers push writing.
There is an annoying undercurrent where everything that doesnât fit euro fantasy heroism either gets erased (esp on alliance peripheral races) or demonized (esp on horde peripheral races). Itâs not exactly a good way to go about things
Also gnomes nuked their home city for science and regularly show up to cause the same kind of disasters as goblins but Iâm not hearing about how they all deserve Revendreth

Sikko Thermoplug got into Revendreth as a pet?
The story direction makes me literally more depressed every week.
Thank you blizzard for killing my hope

Neither does the story condemn this vulpera, nor does the moral of the story, in fact only âŚWellâŚplayers here on the forum are doing that right now, instead of considering it a natural habit and not a savagery.
And to your question, well, the night elves are also not condemned for that, that they have interpreted the classic concept of parents differently and raise their children in the core of their entire civilization, which is a completely different concept of raising children than humans.
We donât do that in real life either, I still donât see it as evil that itâs so different.
I am sure that the gnome responsible is very well in revendreth, if not in the Maw.
Great, so as I said:
Which is
But hey, if you want to hold your breath for an Alliance-side story where one of your races allows for children to kill children as normal, be my guest!

Technically Droite introduced this argument, not Baal, but she did so because of the apparent one-two punch with horde-aligned races at a time when the factionâs moral image is already at an all-time low.

Draenei childhood apparently lasts a very, very, VERY long time. Like, multiple decades to actually grow up. I remember in one of the books it is mentioned someone saw a Draenei girl as a child, and when they were grown up they still saw her, as a child and seemingly unaged.

Eh, quelâdorei being so human-like always felt silly, the devs canât decide whether theyâre humans with pointy ears or have the same vicious streak as the rest of the elves, it makes them feel schizophrenic in characterization
Also I donât just mean Thermaplugg, I was a tiny bit sad during Wrath that DEHTA doesnât give you quests to raze the oil spill town.

Because on top of villain batting, our racial fantasy now includes âmurderous childrenâ.

yeah, like night elfs, wo need atleast 300 years to really grow upâŚ
That sounds like something from the rpg (afaik itâs only social minority thatâs considered longer)
do not know any other source on age tables of peoples. Except that elves are ultra long-lived, nothing is really known about them.
Okay. Let the gnomes carry out genetic selection, killing or castrating (choose the more terrible thing) unsuccessful offspring.
Now ask the gnome fans about it. Maybe they can think of something for the night elves.
So night elf religion got retconned to hell right?
Are they gonna remove the stuff about Groms comments on them in the next reforge patch?
