Should Blood Elves get the new diversed human skin tones in SL?

Tbf I assume thats one way to mis-understand the posters view.

Whats next? You blaming Blizzard for making literally all evil San’layn dark-skinned to? (incase you’re wondering there’s a whole BLOOD-QUARTER in ICC that contains dark-skinned Blood Elves to! nd we can kill them all to! What a racist dogwhistle!)

That is an understatement to say the least, and it could be argued it’s more racist to jump to the kind of conclusions people have made reading my comment… Hmmmmmm :thinking:

Well, they certainly aren’t white, I can give you that much. The idea was that those places most certainly aren’t sunshine and rainbows, so no doubt if the worlds were to mirror themselves on their denizens, it would be on the darker end.

By the way, fire is racist, because it chars flesh to a black burned color and killing them :stuck_out_tongue:

He could possible be too dumb to realize how what he is suggesting is clearly perpetuating a racist stereotype like you seem to be. Who knows.

None of the San’layn skin types were very dark at all. Some were dark gray at best and others were pink and some red and probably more.
Swing and a miss, buddy

Okay if this is a look into your though process you are clearly not of sound mind. Hanlon’s Razor got me again.

Let me spell it out:

It’s pretty damn racist to want to deny people of black complexions from having representation in WoW because you don’t want the lore to include them(without a real reason) and then suggest if they were do be included, the lore should state that they come from the WoW version of hell. What you are doing is that you are perpetuating a racist stereotype.
No matter if you don’t mean to.
No matter if you don’t realize it.
That is what you are doing.

Says the dude who is quickly jumping to screaming “RACISM!”, even though it makes no sense.

Oh man, that sounds bad… Now please, point to the comment in my history that says that I DO NOT WANT them around.

The best you might hear is me question their existence and as to why make Blood Elves black, but beyond that I could care less for their existence (Oh, I should be careful, because that might trigger your white savior complex)

Okay… So? Magic and inate magical locations effects things differently; Fel made Orcs green and Blood Elves dark red (Actually that tinge would be better than have Blood Elves look like Human black people with pointy elves), Death Magic most likely takes some of your lively youth away as well, and those Outcast Draenei on Argus looked haggered and… Black as well… OH MY GOD, The Legion is racist!

My point is, considering those places aren’t sunshine and rainbows, most likely your skin would turn darker to reflect those places. Sounds perfectly logical. Not my problem that you have to look for racism in everything people say.

Just a question: Who assigned you to be the protector of black people? It’s almost as if you think they can’t protect themselves.
Yeah. Figured you out, racist.

You sound as self-righteous as those people who complained about Cyberpunk having “Racist” factions in them, only to have actual black people think the factions are great.

Get over yourself, racist git.

What an absolutely retarded arguement, we’re talking about including darker skin tones for playable races and your reasoning is to have them originate from what basically amounts to hell. In other words it’s a totally different context to the one you’re suggesting (not to mention the current political climate).

What a scummy dogwhistle. I get it, you love neocons but keep your retarded statements away from here and onto the proper platforms (e.g alt right sites) please and thank you.

Yes, the current political climate is insane, and people who pretend to be good guys show themselves to be the most hateful people ever.

I at least choose to not pretend to be arguing in honor of black people even if they didn’t ask me. Because that would imply that black people can’t speak for themselves (Something forumers here show quite well)

Dogwhistling does not exist, you just think they do because you are crazy.

I don’t know what those are. How can I love something I know nothing about?

Soon as you take your stupidity away as well, thanks.

Aaaand congrats. You played yourself. Now go onto Twitter and rant about how everyone and everything is racist.

Elves with a black skin color look like they’re blackfacing.

Change my mind.

Guild pointed out the issue with them is the fact they don’t have lighter palms/feet undersides, how how actual melanin works. It’s because of that which gives it the “charred” appearance, as opposed to actual skin.

I’m hoping the skins are WIP, same goes for gnomes and dwarves. Not sure how the human ones look since they haven’t been data mined, but here’s hoping they fare better.

Yeah the alt-right dogpile was gaining steam but thankfully they’re on the decline and will be driven into the dirt like the dishonest scum they are.

You’re either intentionally dense or are continuing to dogwhistle. Do you not understand how saying that perpetuates that minorities don’t need help? It’s a common tactic used by the aforementioned scum.

I refer to my previous statement, and I’m not crazy but what if :flushed:

Maybe you are just ignorant

No can do.

I don’t even use Twitter you spastic, and that’s a strawman if I’ve ever seen one

On and inb4 as to why I’m insulting you, its because you people don’t deserve charitable rebuttals

TLDR Stop caring about minority representation in media and stop calling everything racist, you racist!

Is this your brain on alt right or just an idiot? Is there a difference? We’ll never know. I hope you get muted because my god your readable drooling is rotting my brain. Get a grip. Nobody wants hear you talk.

Mmmm… Naaaah. No thanks.

Well, I was talking more about people on the left side of the spectrum, and on the alt-left, but sure, the “Alt-Right”, as you call them are also bad.

What does this have to do with me though?

What is it with you and dogwhistles? Are you a dog or something?

Where exactly? In America? Because we live in Europe and they seem to do quite well in these parts.

But don’t get me wrong, they do seem to have a rough time in America, but I strongly doubt it has to do with some invisible force from Conservatives keeping them down. I’d be more inclined to believe it’s their lifestyle choices and the far-left Liberal side to not do anything about it.

Oh, and important part: If you really believe they need help, being on a videogame forum crying about how someone who isn’t 100% on-board with black elves isn’t gonna be helping them. In fact I doubt they even care about WoW, let alone you trying to defend them.

Good. I will stay put as well, because I hate you.

Or maybe I am not a mentally ill brainlet like yourself, who seems to be stressing out about people who don’t have only positives to say about what look like unnaturally black Blood Elves.

Okay then ResetEra or Tumbluh, whichever website alt-left losers like to hang out at.

I wasn’t even thinking about it, but okay.

Somehow I am not surprised. The side of inclusivity, diversity, peace and love turning out to be exclusive, unwelcoming of diversity, hate and malice towards anyone who’s not 100% with them.

Well you have to admit, it is REALLY weird to see what are most likely white dudes infront of a computer stressing so much about “Representation”, and instantly call people racist. It’s almost as if they’re trying to compensate for something… Hmmmmm :thinking:

Let’s go with “Normal”, shall we?

Oh, poor you. Not my problem.
And I hope you get muted as well because you are being really hateful.

Huh, really? I can think of… Huh, quite a good amount of people overall who like to hear me talk and appreciate my opinion, even if they necessarily don’t see eye-to-eye. Sad that you aren’t mature enough for that.

Anyway, see you later, alt-left losers. Putting this dumpster fire on ice. You keep at it with your self-righteous fake-niceness and trying to cover up for your own racist believes that black people are weak and incompetent that they need people on a videogame forum to speak on their behalf over videogame customizations :stuck_out_tongue: And you dare to call me a bad guy…

It’s either what Mogi said:

But couldn’t it be also be party because they lack the nose/facial structure associated with the skintone?

https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/883732.jpg

Looking at that picture the black humans appear (to me atleast) to have slightly wider noses, compared to the white and asian humans, maybe that helps in making it look more natural?

(Unless I’m blind af and it just seems that way because the whites and asians are from a different angle?)

Also, this thread went so well, before it descended into a battle of throwing feces.

The best each party here can do is just ignore eachother, you’re derailing the thread! Report and continue please.

I am fine with Blizzard trying to pitch us the idea of black elves, but at least put the effort into changing their physical appearance and not just a skin color.

Blizzard pulls a reverse Michael Jackson on us.

Oh also - Every discussion with a topic like this will eventually go down into lots of rambling and insults. People get emotional.

Quoting these here as a reminder to anyone who thinks this alt-right Shapirocel is worth debating in any capacity. Leave it to the mods Id say

Fair enough.

I’m just wondering how that’ll work with races like the dwarves and gnomes though, especially the gnomes, are known for their huge, pointy noses.

Wouldn’t that look extremely off-putting if they suddenly had a human nose?

xD Just to prove that you haven’t a clue. There is no group of people that calls themselves the alt-left. Wonder if you think it’s a thing because of Trump.
