i’m glad you at least jumped on it so you’re aware of it
I’m glad to know that my thought processes are perfectly valid, even if a vocal minority of forum regulars want to mock me for them.
I can joke on the side easily with that knowledge. 
except when it comes to processing “the Sunwell did it” as a possibility

It’s pretty hard for “the sunwell bleached their skin from dark pink to nearly white” and “the sunwell gave them deeply melanated skin” to both be true, following basic causality.
If you want to treat me rudely and imply I’m prejudiced against my own ancestors for observing that, it’s your prerogative.
" im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob .

Plenty of people have engaged you and you’ve chosen to engage the ‘vocal’ minority as you put it. Ignoring perfectly valid opinions to a preferred narrative is the very definition of bad faith arguments, that expression you are throwing around so cavalierly.

Melanin didn’t do anything in Warcraft, as far as I’m concerned.
Unless Blizz goes out of their way to suddenly give scientific reasons to all their species… Which have all had magical origins.

I think I know a muffin man. He lives on Drury Lane?
If you’re a race with melanin, biologically, yes!
That’s why it’s not unusual to see these skin options for more human-adjacent races like forsaken, gnomes, and dwarves.
WIth elves, though…well, they were nocturnal and purple and became diurnal (day-walking) and pale. That’s…a pretty clear sign that their coloration wasn’t being governed by melanin.
Until now, of course, but I am a villain for observing this, and I am surely Rachel Dolezal for pointing it out!
