PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

The point is flying so far over your head that it is interstellar.

Nah, Banshee-Queen soul is old news. Its all Ranger-General soul living with the atrocities done by the Banshee-Queen soul now.

Which might have an ounce of merit, if we didn’t have previous examples of the Darkspear reading, writing, sending letters etc just fine.

Lazy trope is lazy.

I think we know the point. It’s what it always is.

People are mad Lor’Themar teaches Zekhan to read and write. He’s a dumb young Troll born in a backwater of Trollish civilization, that’s why.

Would have some merit if Troll civilization was you know, anything like that. But it isnt.

People are annoyed at very typical, old, boring and sketchy racial stereotypes bleed into the writing. Alongside bad decisions.

making a previously literate character illiterate for the sake of having white man teach him how to read and write is very :thinking:

Even if it wasnt a malicious decision, you’d think Blizzard would be a bit more well, thoughtful, on their writing considering the entire situation they are facing since many months ago/still today.

You’d want to be on your best behavior in their shoes. But then again, the book was probably written before all of this came out and has just been in publishing process.

lmao yeah okay

I know thoughtful and Blizzard writing doesnt go together.

I just don’t think I will ever understand their decisions.

i dont get how the story is this bad, it’s been in the works for nearly 20 years… right?

Ofcourse it is, if you retro-actively inject your own made-up on the spot villains into the story and then claim it was all by their design.

Interesting.

That you’re hypocrites. You’re all hypocrites. People were pointing at “black bloodelves” and say “oh of course, they’re Islamic inspired after all, now they not only have a light skinned Middle Eastern option, but a dark skinned option as well”. THE SAME PEOPLE ON TWITTER WHO CRY ABOUT LOR’THEMAR BEING A WHITE STEREOTYPE.

are u alright? Honestly what is your nonsense about because I dont know how to even reply to this
