The claims are true. Honestly. I am tired of the toxicity leaking into discord, and onto twitter, and attempting to get people to dogpile. I see it from the community on there, it is entirely public. After what certain people on the forums here did to me and continue to simply for supporting Vulpera, I’m putting my foot down. I could toss all of my claims as proof here in this thread. But that would be against ToS. When that side stops literally trying to get people to dogpile on those who want San’layn for the Horde, and stops playing victim, then I will stop being angry and annoyed.
No, they don’t. However, this party literally came at me and several others with “The only compromise is to give the Alliance a Horde request”. They’ve said it in the forums, and out of it, too. I’m unsure why people continue to try and justify that’s in good faith. It’s an entirely petty argument, and as I’ve said a number of times, if it was “I’d like San’layn for void elves because it’s something I would love to be able to play on my side”, perfectly valid. But, straight out the gate, it was “Now give us something the horde has requested.”
You can try to deny this, but it’s been repeated numerous times by these people.
When they reply to my posts on a regular basis with “San’layn for the Alliance”, after saying “give us a horde request”, yes, I’m going to see that as trying to bait.
The problem is, everything I say is entirely true. People paint it out like I’m ‘attacking a different opinion’. I’ve explained over. and over. and over. and over again. Why that isn’t the case. And why people are allowed to have different opinions. My issue is that it’s being argued and pushed for incredibly petty reasons. And when I point it out, it’s painted as something it isn’t.
So you tell me. Can there be compromise? The way things are going, no. I want to see San’layn on the Horde. I’m confident they will be added someday now that they are listening to the requests. Yes, I do have a big following. After working for this for three years, putting my ideas forward, sharing art, sharing lore ideas, sharing implementation ideas, sharing stories on how this can move forward? It’s justified that my following is big, because I’ve actually put a ton of work into it.
So to see someone suggest that all of the ideas the community we’ve built should be given to the Alliance for petty reasons, yes, will make me annoyed, and yes, I’m going to speak up about it.
The only thing I will agree upon is that a neutral San’layn Allied Race would be fine, and wouldn’t be a bad idea. Or, that San’layn going to BOTH void and blood elves would be fine UNDER THE CONDITION THAT Blood Elves would get another theme as well, because they can’t be void elves and shouldn’t get void customization. If, at that point, people are begging for light stuff? Whatever. I couldn’t be less interested and in fact hate the idea. I prefer felbloods or phoenix themed customization for blood elves.
But as for San’layn & Dark Rangers? I firmly stand by saying they fit in the Horde, I don’t feel like reposting why (in fact, I’ll direct people to the San’layn thread I have going, click on the FAQ, and read the reasoning), and I would settle for neutral (which would be up to blizzard). Thus far though? Alls I’ve been seeing from the ‘San’layn for Alliance!’ side are petty ‘let’s take an idea from the Horde’ reasons. Posted both here and off on other media.
It’s actually so beautifully ironic, it could be turned into a book! But I find it more amusing than anything! As Ariel says:

Or the meme, rather. But the lady yelling in it has been a good sport about it and reportedly does not mind. She runs a program/charity supporting domestic abuse survivors (not sure how accurate I am on this, but I think it is something along those lines).
