No she isn’t if anything she’s an example of the complete opposite the handling of her character was disgusting.

Why does it matter that much. Are the men that play WoW that uncomfortable playing a video game that has a female lead. Hell my favorite movie genre is horror, and know what they all have? Female leads. This whole DEI crap is more often idiots excuses for to hide there own insecurities.

Well, they were replaced by their daughters. I take more issue with retiring Malfurion, Tyrande and Genn at all. What was the point? It certainly didn’t lead to any narrative stakes. It was simply unceremoniously dispensing with established lore characters to make way for their unestablished progeny. The writers couldn’t even be bothered to build up the unestablished characters.

Both of those character came out of nowhere this not some long established lore. First of all Olbarig did not want stormrooks to be used at all he wanted them free. Second he did not believe that stormrooks were capable of or willing to choose a rider. It is Lufsela as a rookkeeper she had a better connection with them. This is why she became the new leader.
Olbarig choose to honor his friend’s memory by becoming a stormrider again and using his friends rook. He did not need to become the new leader to do that. He walked back on a deeply held conviction, admitted he was wrong and picked back up the mantle his friend wished for him to do.

It’s just not a believable narrative. One can only suspend their disbelief for so much. Characters are miscast, and poorly written to boot.

Those movies tend to have female leads because you’d be annoyed by a man who ran away crying all the time. You find that kind of thing acceptable in a woman, but a man doing it would cause you to immediately reject the entire film.

Except He even states that both him and Baelgrim were right in their own way.

See this is why I said it shows your own insecurities. Alien I don’t remember Ripley running away and crying. And the reality is yes, some men are going to run away and cry in those situations, it’s a natural reaction that you don’t have that much control over call fight or flight.

Eh, true but it still took a lot to admit that.
Yes but it’s something a good leader would do though. Instead we get someone who lucked their way into the position.

It’s time for a rewatch, dude.
Running and hiding is what happened in Alien and Aliens.

If you Google the top movies of all time, you get movies like The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Schindler’s List, and Inception all movies where men are shown having emotion.
I mean, it is a fantasy game. The perfect place to pretend females are capable of leadership!
Muhahaha. I jest.
I like that a lot actually.
Turns out the real problem isn’t ‘emotion’ but instead poor wow writers lacking the skill to turn Anduin into anything but their fantasy of a man in therapy.
Basically this

I think the writing has been great personally 
, definitely a step above the past recent expansions for sure. I’m loving the new “Stay awhile and listen” options, too.
I wouldn’t characterize Shawshank Redemption and Schindler’s List as running away crying all the time. So let’s try to be a little less disingenuous, ok?

Men showing emotion and still getting stuff done.
Therein lies the crux of the problem. Anduin is showing emotion and nothing else. He’s being a little b.
