My point is that the song isn’t evidence that things happened one way or the other. To find out whether it is accurate or not, you have to look at other sources of information, because those who wrote the song aren’t a reliable one.
I feel you there. Man, do I ever feel you there.
As a general rule I agree. But I kinda think they did want Horde players to feel bad for most of BfA, with the possible exception of 8.3.
The Horde should be disbanded. Nothing worse of saving that bunch of alliance dookie suckers. I hope 10.0 puts an end to factions and let all races form their own polticial alignment.
I wonder what moron at blizzard thinks that shaming half their playerbase is a smart idea, and if that moron is still employed.
It’s the same morons who thought comitting genocide on a player race was a great idea 
The night elves are doing fine. Stop being dramatic.
A genocide still happened. Regardless of them being Fine or not. Like, get over yourself.
Blizzard still decided to use the word genocide to describe what happened, whether it fits or not. That’s a decision that shouldn’t have been made lightly (although it may have been).
Then convince me to play one in retail.
Do you want to play a Night Elf?
What’s really unfortunate is when the writers use a term like “genocide” to describe an event, and then continually reference said event to ensure that roughly half the player base always remembers they were roped into participating. It’s a word with an incredible amount of weight behind it, and it really goes against any semblance of “faction pride” that they might attempt to build up later on.
Sadly, the way that Blizzard has been framing things, the Horde gets the worst of both worlds. Events like Teldrassil are framed as terrible acts - which, objectively, they should be - but rather than going with a full evil faction approach, the Horde is saddled with a sense of guilt over the event. So we’re neither heroic, nor are we truly evil like the Sith, who would at least be allowed to revel in how terrible they are without the narrative beating them over the head at every turn about how guilty they should feel. Instead, we come across as gullible henchmen.
It’s annoying, and it’s sloppy writing. Moving forward, the writers need to determine what, precisely, the Horde is, and then build a narrative around it. Story arcs that try to focus on uncertainty and finding one’s way are only satisfying if those questions are resolved by the end, not finding oneself in the same position they started out in.
Edit: Grammar
Considering your usual behaviour in this forums AND the scumbag-esque actions ANY PC takes regarding minor races regardless of faction, I have to admit you have an AMAZING skill to dissociate from your own bad bully-esque behaviour.
You will hve to give the recipe of sucess for a lot of posters in here.
It´s probably irl egos clashing, so a bit of laziness and a bit of maliciousness I suppose.
The only moron with the power to do so belongs to the high executive phere, so probably yes to both questions.
Amazing how we seem to have writers who genuinely seem to only see the setting they are writing within as a restrictive burden to “their grand vision”. I would honestly wager this is the reason that the Horde is used as a plot-device so often. With Blizz seeing the WC3 vision of the Faction they constantly use to save the faction as getting in the way of their amazing story most of the time.
And of course blizz just can’t help themselves from making the alliance the Soo good that we’re morally stupid faction just so the horde can pull off their newest genocide/tragedy.
That you know, never gets addressed because Muh peace must always prevail and oops, we forgot about the super mega evil that is soo evil everyone must team up bad guy.
It’s multiple people and they’re predominately still employed.
