no it needs a lore explanation that i personally approve of or else it permanently damages the setting

No, and neither are humans in WoW. Caucasian is a very specific IRL thing, you know?

We’re not calling these new blood elves “African American”… What the hell is this?

Precisely my point!
Elves aren’t “white”, so presenting them a “black” skin option by contrast sort of forgets the origin story of their paleness.
They might appear “white” at first glance to you, but they’re the pink highborne of a purple race that paled out from magic exposure.
I think you know what it is

this is going to be exactly the lore that happens anyways and you don’t seem to grasp that
if blizzard retcons it so that they were always there, it’s because of the Sunwell that initially turned them into the Quel’dorei
if blizzard says this is a recent turn of events like the golden eyes, it’s because of the Sunwell
it’s magic
it’s magic
it’s a fantasy setting oh my goodness

I’ll link it once again for good measure, since he’s more articulate than me;

Scabby…I’m sorry to tell you this but linking reddit links doesn’t help you at all

Commiting yourself to the mockery hivemind doesn’t ingratiate me into taking you seriously, either.
I don’t care. I’m presenting it as an option for those that are not operating in bad faith or who might be curious about the topic further. Not everyone that reads this thread will respond to it or jump onto me, some people are just gonna read it, and for them I encourage checking out the link to understand what my side of the camp is actually saying, since it’s easy to miss the message when I’m being called Rachel Dolezal and people are RPing at a Zaxby’s drive-thru.
that gamer feel when you can’t handle being disagreed with when it comes to lore so you ignore the easy, most likely and plausible solutions

No, White is the skin tone. Black is the skin tone.
Caucasian, African, etc etc are specific to our real world.
It’s not contrast!
Your reddit link doesn’t explain anything!
You’re arguing in bad faith. I’ve asked you to explain to me decently well how any of this makes sense through lore and you’ve failed to, each time, with odd and twisted arguments. You came in to discuss with people who are happy that darker skin tones are being added into the game why you think its bad, with no intent on changing your mind. It’s like you’re a union director who came in to negotiate with a bunch of workers, with no intent to compromise.
If you presented a good argument, maybe I’d be able to see (not agree) with your position.
Representing your opposition as a “hivemind of mockery” does not make you sound good, you know?

Come back when you can put up a decent fight. Go back to your own realm.
We don’t want you here.

It quite literally offers an explanation for all of this, including elves, and posits that it would be easy to slip this sort of explanation into the lore to nip questions like mine in the bud.
I can tell you didn’t read it.
Bad faith!
what’s something witty for the opposite of occam’s razor
macco’s bludgeon
so would “the Sunwell did it”

I read the entire thing, come on.
Asian humans actually just being Scandinavians? Seriously? They look ASIAN because they LIVE in a cold environment? You can tell Asians and people that live in artic regions apart, you know that, right?
