I unno, the obsession over fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair strikes me as odd. Forgive me if that plucks a cord about recent history.

You are jumping at shadows that aren’t there. No one is being racist in this thread but you.

You are literally prejudging people you assume to be white and racist. That’s prejudice, that’s racism.

  1. Emerald Dream is a realm on Azeroth that is a perfect reflection if sapient life never modified the surface.
  2. Ardenweald is a realm in the Shadowlands that dead organisms go to if they’re nature connected.
  1. Mechangome cut off their limbs
  2. mechagnome somehow figured out how to get a blessing from a wild god despite Mechagnomes destroying their own environment
  3. Mechagnome somehow figures out how to hide an entire bear, cat, moonkin and tree inside them without the use of nanotechnology.
  4. Mechagnome then has to get accepted into some form of druidic practice.

Iunno chief sounds sus to me.

Then you haven’t been around the High Elf community as long as I have.

It’s literally just transformers and laser beams. No wild gods need to be consulted, the Mechagnome have rendered them obsolete.

187

Yes they do. If you want to be a druid you have to channel the power of nature and wild gods. Otherwise you’re not a druid. What you’re describing is a hunter that becomes the pet.

188

Nope. Mechagnome can replicate anything a Druid can do. The future is now.

189

i most certainly have. was there when ARs were first announced. and i dont want belf haircolors. i want gnome haircolors. in other words, pale versions of velf haircolors. can you twist that into false accusations as well, green tin can?

190

Iunno the discord full of people trying to dox the people that disagree with them, the weird quasi-racist ramblings of that one moderator who hated people who played Horde and thought of them as subhuman?

I could go on if you’d like.

191

The only racist here is you bud. We are talking about video game races, you are going off on random tangent accusing random people.

My guild master plays a White High Elf. She’s a Black girl.

Assuming that someone who plays a White High elf is

  1. White in real life
  2. Therefore a White Supremacist

is like multiple layers deep stupid. It’s like inception prejudice.

ha. i was mass reported and banned twice from the forums in the same 48 hour period, as a helf fan for saying horrible things like - hey, hows everybody today. or the equally racist statement of whats wrong with blonde hair? i dont even want blonde hair, but i mean, its an elf haircolor. this was on the old forums, back when they had automated bans and you had to contact a mod to get reinstated. turns out anti-helfers had hired a mass flagging operation

193

So, a blood elf? Cause High Elves arent playable. Playing a Blood Elf doesn’t make you a part of the Helf community.

Racism implies I’m discriminating against an ethnicity. The High Elf community is not an ethnicity, why you presume I think you’re white. Besides you getting oddly defensive?

194

You are the one who went on this tangent, now you are denying things you said minutes ago.

195

Alleria’s bow (the MM hunter artifact weapon) actually gives you a really neat-looking quiver on your back. So they can make it work very nicely.

Yes I can also make up improbable statements and lie my rear off too. It’s not very hard, you got banned for some very suspect posts Hyperspace. its a shame I dont have them saved.

I never implied the High Elf community is of one singular ethnicity, only they have an attachment with blonde, blue-eyed and fair skinned elves that seems quasi-racial in origin.

197

You implied that people that make blue eyed fair skinned elves are white supremacists. That’s ridiculous.

oh you’re talking about a more recent ban where i used a word that is now considered anti-lgbtq. i can probably find it myself. i’m old. words have changed meaning.

199

What was the word? The things that Hunters use? I’m afraid to use the word now. They have a fire one and a tar one.

200

No. The people that obsess over it are the ones suspect, not people who merely use it. The point is missing your head entirely. Though I suspect I struck too close to home with my statement.

Oh there’s far more than that Hyper. Not to mention the downright weird things you’ve said.

201

You are the one obsessing over it. All of us are mature enough to talk about video game races without blurring the lines in our head with real life politics.

Sometimes a blue eyed, blonde haired elf is just someone who likes what they look like. Not everything is racism.

like what?
