But unless we’re on a very technical subject or something with an objective answer, I am automatically wary of any response to an argument that is some variation of “the people making it don’t even understand what they’re saying”. Precision in language is important, but it’s also difficult and not really attainable; it’s a direction, not a goal, and I try to give leeway about it.
If a flat-earther babbles something about spiral motion and field of view and junk I’ll pull out the “you don’t know what you’re even saying”, sure, but if you’re playing the technicality game on someone’s subjective experience and dissatisfaction with a piece of art, you’re really just saying you’ve refused to understand the lens through which they interpret it.
There are lenses that I will just disagree with even holding and directly dismiss someone for valuing them, like those who get upset about the fact that Chromie is trans – but general dissatisfaction with an absence of a ‘warcraft’ feel to the current content doesn’t automatically qualify.
The bit about Chromie is ironically a little narrow minded, since there are reasons to dislike that choice besides not liking the character being trans on principle, since it’s arguably no different than Star Trek Enterprise feeling the need to explain why Klingons had different makeup in TOS and the several instances of the old Star Wars EU trying to give in-universe explanations for mistakes people made in the early days of the franchise. Though I’ll agree that people who dislike the idea on principle should just be ignored.
Dragonflight has a race literally engineered for servanthood (the Dracthyr), siblings trying to get each other killed and a corrupted villain who wants to literally burn the world and recruited a flame-worshipping cult.
Tirion Fordring get more credit than he desires.
His introduction was interesting… He was a hermit and waged war on the Scourge and Scarlets… his son died…
But then he just showed up to claim Ashbringer and decided Arthas was his enemy number 1? Did you forget your son?
Then stole the kill, dude was frozen but somehow made wish?
Then he died to a beachball demon?
