That’s some headcanon right there. Sky Admiral Rogers, some of the troops on the Skyfire and the Hillsbrad Refugee whom were on Fenris Isle and then decided to join the Gilnean would like to have a word
Nah, it wouldn’t have killed everyone no matter what because we know that Arthas wanted to lure us to Northrend to pwn us personally.
I guess you’re right, there is one named surviving Hillsbrad refugee I can ask about how well the Forsaken coexisted with her. I wonder what her opinions on the matter are
His men were all given lollipops, tea, and a hero’s goodbye as they road away.
I’ve just as much ground to claim that as the people who say they were massacred.

It wouldn’t have had to kill everyone. Just more people dead, less Forsaken in Northrend. Probably a lot more casualties before Wrathgate. Could have resulted in Tirion dying because everyone would be spread more thin. Heck, maybe they don’t even make it to Wrathgate.
Yeah, this is a weird take. Pro-Scourge and all.
Benedikt, you’re a smart guy. Too smart to honestly believe this.
Garrithos was planning on kicking the Forsaken out of Loraedon and installing himself as a tinpot dictator of Capitol City. This is after he already tried exterminating the Belves for no reason other than being a massive bigot.
The only thing the Forsaken did wrong was not making his death more protracted and painful.

This is a counterfactual. Could easily say that the campaign would have gone smoother because the Forsaken weren’t around to gas everyone at the Wrathgate. Maybe the Gnomes ended up curing the plague in this alternate universe.
It was Sylvanas who proposed that he get to keep Lordaeron, and that the Forsaken had no interest in lingering after getting vengeance on Balnazzar. He then, unfortunately, went against his own advice and trusted an elf.

I don’t.
My head canon is the Forsaken turned around and went
“You with him?”
And they all said “Nah man, I hated that guy more than yall” and left. Some joined the Scarlets and smarter humans followed the Dwarves to Khaz Modan and calmly moved to SW.

I’m gonna have to replay WC3. I vaguely remembered him being a dick about the whole thing.
I mean, if you wanna take it as win, go for it. I guess overlooking that you work off a headcanon isn’t pass you.
It clearly follows the facts. The Lich King was trying to kill Tirion Fordring and The Chronicle outlines that as well. Only flukes save the man at the end of the day. I find it rather naive to think he just lives perfectly if the world was under significant more harm from the plague.
You could say a lot of dumb stuff, yes. You tend to do that.

Honestly, yeah, some of his troops probably didn’t agree with Garrithos’ awfulness and were only serving out of fear or desperation.
Still, they all willingly went along with the plan to try to murder all refugees of a former allied race for no gd reason, so I have no remorse over them getting theirs.
You’re the one making affirmative claims about a reality that doesn’t exist and demanding I argue against your unfalsifiable multiverse.
“But I can’t possibly understand why the Alliance would hate the Horde.”
You know, you don’t HAVE to defend literally every single thing that guys in your faction have done, even when they weren’t even part of your faction. The Forsaken are practically their own faction anyway.
You’re saying the Alliance hates the Horde because the Alliance tried to massacre one of their former allies that is now Horde?
I’m not demanding you argue back. You can believe whatever asinine theory you want to yourself. I give you permission.
You’re the person who made this unfalsifiable claim first regarding the world being better without Garithos. So it is rather weird to wave it around as a negative.
I think that he’s referring to the fact that you’d have no problem killing Alliance beyond what was necessary.
