Yes, you can take it as allegory.
I think ‘success’ refers to ‘successfully defeating them’ or ‘successfully dispatching them.’
Read this self-written quote as example:
‘The Warsong Orcs, after their success against the Night Elf Sentinels would continue to advance further into Ashenvale.’
Did you take that word ‘success’ and automatically assume sexual assault? Because that was not the intention of it. Perhaps I should switch the characters to better illustrate my point.
‘The Sunfury Blood Elves, after their success with the Draenei would continue their rampage through Bloodmyst Isle.’
Did that also read as assault to you and not simply a passage about war?
Whenever female characters are involved in story writing, or there are strong female characters I find it odd how whenever they are defeated or lose there always needs to be an assumption of sexual assault happening. IMO it reads as low-brow shock-writing than anything of actual substance and speaks to a larger fetishization of these forms of attacks in wartime.
This is especially levied against Sylvanas because many do not like her and there’s often a want to brutalize her character or fetishize this form of content. More often than not the purpose is to degrade her character and offer no real profound narrative surrounding this subject matter, it’s its simply done for shock.
The same is true for Alexstrasza, however this was done far more explicitly by bad writers with a barely disguised want to degrade female characters.
I don’t appreciate it, even when Blizzard does write that as the intention such as with Garona.
Kinda odd how people automatically shift towards sexual assault when the language used is vague and doesn’t necessarily lean towards it at all.
Regardless, it did not happen in actuality.
