It is true that Blackmore did provide an excellent example of what not to be.

You know that Thrall was a slaver like Blackmoore, Yes?
Like (adoptive) father, like son. 
Thrall wasnât perfect by any means. He has had some colossal screw ups under his belt. Like making Garrosh, an orc with daddy issues, warchief of the horde was one of them. The goblin screwup during cata was another, why he kept Gallywix as trade prince is beyond me.

Fanfiction & Headcanon, a Varodoc classic.
Thrall was never a slaver and in fact had actively worked to stop it. Criminals doing criminal things is not his fault. He was not a perfect leader, but he had never enslaved others.

Encouraged by his best friend and mentor, Grom Hellscream, Thrall worked to ensure that no orc would be cast into slavery â either by humans or -demonsâ ever again.
From the WCIII: Reign of Chaos Manual.

His point is that youâre wishy washy if you donât apply your complaints about things Odyn did to Sylvanas, too.
Which is true. They are so much the same sack of crap type of people.
Nobody is denying that Sylvanas did terrible things. Yâall just trying to downplay Odyns crap because some people donât like Sylvanas
Be honest for once

I didnât downplay anything Odyn did though.
Not you personally. But there are people who been trying to do that because of their hatred for Sylvanas
Wod is further proof, if orcs unite theyâre powerful.
If any human had a positive impact in thrallâs life, it was the girl that helped him escape.

What? The Iron Horde was the weakest and most pathetic antagonist weâve ever faced.
They literally didnât accomplish anything of note.
Itâs an actual plot point that the average grunt was very dissatisfied with the leadershipâs incompetence, which is why the remnants all joined Gulâdan and the Legion.

I feel like Varodoc being an unironic Blackmoore stan is all anyone ever needs to know about him. Essentially the Alliance equivalent of a Hordie that thinks Garrosh did nothing wrong.

This is probably a âthe Melatoninâs kickin in, time for bedâ thought, but this post put the idea of the WoD cutscene between Garrosh and Thrall but with Blackmoore in my head.
Blackmoore: âYou left me. you abandoned all of us!â
Thrall: âAbsolutely. Get fisted.â

This is a thing?
Zerde really brought up Koltira despite that we save him and he does absolutely nothing after besides be mad at us if we go to talk to him.
Amazing.

I donât know. Maybe him being captured by the psychopathic Sylvanas has something to do with him being less then happy with the Horde. Also, the Horde didnât âsave himâ. It was the knights of the ebon blade who did that and not either faction specifically.(considering an Alliance character is capable of saving him as well)
Having said that, he is as Horde as say Thassarian is Alliance. Which is both are in a fairly nebulous âthey are kinda faction specific but also kinda neutralâ.
Whereas Thassarian is actively part of the entire quest chain, and koltira is absolutely not. Heâs missing while Thassarian is present.
Alliance.

It has always been alliance biased on all parts of the story since Vanilla even. Even content creators are aware of that now.

Because he was the one CAPTURED. And the point of the quest was toFREE him so that at the end of said chain je would help the rest of the Ebon blade.
