New xpack, all female leads? (Part 2)

Right… so name one?
Look, just like Garrosh boys!

This. The final part of the main story line (Return to Dornogal)

A room full of all the female reps + Merrix

Lufsela - Brinthe - Faerin - Adelgonn

Even my wife is like oh…another female. I think we are fine with women in games. But male replacement writing is swinging the pendulum off the page rather than writing for balance and representation.

But we want balance:

For x amount of years: “Warcraft” was about battle / war. Ratio: War 95% to Char Depth 5%.

Now the ratio of character development to war is swung the opposite way: 5 percent war to 95 percent character depth.

It’s a fair paradigm shift in story-telling than how things were before.

Analogy from my childhood. There were a lot of marketed to “boys” “girls” tv shows in the 80’s: GI Joe (a boys show) / My Little Pony (a girls show). If you take GI Joe and transplant the ponies into the show with the ponies running the show primarily and Sgt Slaughter just sitting on the sidelines for most of the show - Would feel a bit jarring?

Kinda what it feels like in this game right now.

Its fine for boys to like ponies and girls to like GI Joe. We are all here to have a good time and enjoy what you like. Its just different and feels lacking than what we had before. Wish we had some more GI Joe moments than Ponies moments lately.

You can always have the characters take supplements.

Oh shiny new system thread.

I forgot what the original was about other than title ._.

I hate that theyve pretty much made him a punching bag for Alleria.

My general feeling about this is the same as in real life:

-I’m not overly upset about it

-Denying it’s being done is intentionally obtuse

I actually chat to my non-wow friends about it and we’ve been having a good laugh about Faerin, who I kinda like. But at the same time, it’s like “Just how many boxes did you try to check in one character”

Yeah, thats why I only refer to OG Thrall. Even Green Jesus was better than this nothing burger

Like why is it okay for her to treat him like this but we know how big of a media scandal itd be if the situation was reversed.
