Homophobia in rp needs to cease

[Vaxir-argent-dawn (Vaxir)]

lmao imagine agreeing with JKR in anything.

[Loras-argent-dawn]

The way I can see Blood Trolls a little differently is because the lore describes them as having technologically regressed because of their reliance on G’huun. They didn’t want or need the progress of the Zandalari to their south. That’s something I can work with at least.

[Vixí-argent-dawn (Vixí)]

I never read into the blood trolls more than that they were insane troll cultists and the reason they were evil/savage was because of G’huun.

[Loras-argent-dawn]

iirc, they were the ones who still followed Hakkar after the Blood Plague, fled into the swamps of Nazmir, and ended up worshipping G’huun there instead – presumably because its power was similar enough to take Hakkar’s place for them

[Vixí-argent-dawn (Vixí)]

Ah okay, I didn’t know about Hakkar!

@Loras-argent-dawn

Ah okay, so you’re a transphobe too. Right, got it. Thanks for playing.

It pleases me greatly that Rowling’s own star actors vehemently disagree with her.

It’s not too difficult to assume that if denizens of Azeroth have trouble co-existing with other intelligent species then some of those cultures also probably have issue co-existing with different sexualities. Sure, using the word gay as an insult is something imported from the real world thus ill-fitting, but being afraid/intolerant/suspicious of ‘the other’ (including homosexuals and others) is quite the shoe-in with the general theme of Warcraft.

Truly a conclusion available only to the most galactic of brains

Yes, but the lore says no.

Except the Hagrid guy

[Loras-argent-dawn]

Man mentioned how modern millennial snowflakes wouldn’t “win” the war, but was born in 1950. Such standard boomer rhetoric: take credit for winning a war they never fought.

[Sindrí-argent-dawn (Sindrí)]

@Loras-argent-dawn

wouldn’t “win” the war

Its also a metaphor for not being able to overcome a major struggle or obstacle.

[Loras-argent-dawn]

I’m not sure if you’re a Brit, but when it’s spoken here, it’s meant more literally than that. It’s a cliche that middle-aged gammons will claim weakness in modern generations, invoking the Blitz spirit – something they never actually had to live through.

pretty funny thing for a man who grew up in one of the easiest times and places to be alive in history to say

Harry Potter and the Please Stop Ruining My Childhood Memories I Used To Cherish So Much By Showing It Wasn’t So Wholesome At All Aughhhhh

I still enjoy the first 4 movies, you get far by not really caring about the racial implications or undertones and just appreciating the story for what it is.

In the words of Game Director Ion Hazzikostas…

They're pretty black, we're gonna kill them

Not british and i had to look up hagrid’s actor, that guy had an easy life.

[Loras-argent-dawn]

They usually have. It’s part of why they have such an inaccurate (and scornful) perspective toward more recent generations.

Also my housemate loves to say it’s all just due to lead poisoning. It’s a take I think is highly based.

Still looked it up tho, since around his 18th age there were enough wars and conflicts to be drafted in.

[Loras-argent-dawn]

When someone - especially a Brit - mentions ‘the war’ it refers to WW2. There were not any major wars or conflicts during his early adulthood.

Look, trust me. He’s referring to WW2.

[Sindrí-argent-dawn (Sindrí)]

well there was the korean war vietnam and his pilgrimage to the pantry, but i get it.

He was the fortunate son.
