Not only HypocriteFang was instantly reminded of his first genocide, a ton of them died and (if you want to get into the more nuanced defenitions of it) their culture will be irrevocably changed much like the vuperas’ will be.
Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, God calls it a duck… it’s probably a duck.
Welp, it seems we have reached an impasse here. I dont think we can get anywere if dont agree what genocide is in the first place. You’ve gone at length about your personal experiences/culture/history/etc here and im guessing its due to that that you consider it a G-word if the culture but not necessarily the people dies out
On my end due to my own personal experiences/culture/history/etc I use the simpler defenition of “if most of them died then its a G-word”. Its kind of like “we dont have a geneva convention on azeroth so who knows what even is a warcrime” type of deal.
I dont know why you and Aurirel (who removed her post but thats neither here nor there) and others always bring up this.
As much as Anduin would like to pretend otherwise, this is a no quarters given all out war. But yes, the irony that the Alliance leadership its pretty much “Hippies + Tyrande” while the lower echelons are slowly turning into Rogers is not lost on me.
I mean, why should random Alliance middlemen care about the morality of going all out against the horde or collateral damage when they are fighting for their very survival (and/or their afterlives, if they’re human since thats Sylvanas endgame)? The Horde certainly doesnt. Its only natural that the bloodier the war gets the faster inhibitions go out the window.
