Reason why there are MALE only races?

[derpkitteh]

I don't want to know what a female Ogre looks like.

I've always like to joke that female Ogres are absolutely gorgeous.

literally just a more thicc orc.

Like the Fish people in Pandaria, The Hozen, Ogres..Those are arguably the most known of the lost Female races. Has Blizzard ever made a comment as to why this is? Laziness? Attempt to save money? Just seems kinda odd that the leading MMORPG in payed subs is doing this.

Did you just assume their gender?

As terry prachett described it with his dwarfs: Just because you don't see it, you could be talking with a female dwarf right now. maybe there are very few differences between males and females as long as you don't look under that kilt.

First reason is money, blizz dont wanna make females just for the sake of it.

Second reason is that telling male and female apart might not be as easy as with mammals.

Maybe they are like the Hutt in Star Wars, they can decide and change their sex as they pleases.

Obviously because Blizzard is trying to push their patriarch agenda on us...

Seriously, how fucking bored do you have to be to come up with a topic like this? I just imagine someone sitting there watching TV or staring at a wall or something and suddenly going "I just realized there are no female Hozen, Jinyu, or Ogres in WoW. I am so triggered right now!"

[AwkwardSquirtle]

I think the actual reason is probably the fact that art resources are better spent elsewhere, but you could explain it away super easily if you say they have no sexual dimorphism.

[Anjerith]

Well, the non-PC but real answer to this is pretty obviously that the Ogres capture females of other species and use them to breed. This is pretty standard in many Fantasy settings.

And, going back into the canon via the chronicles, it is pretty evident why there are no females.

But, I guess we can just sit and argue about it being some sort of privilege thing or some lazy artists or a political agenda. Go you!

[Shadowsgrace]

lol

Wolves and cows are at least mammals with some similar functionality.

I can't remember the last time I used my swim bladder and lateral lines.

Or saw Mammary Glands on a fish.

I am surprised blizzard haven't implemented female ogres yet. Maybe when they become playable for Horde.... (wishful thinking)

Pretty standard in many fantasy settings, and also incorrect in Warcraft. We have canon references to female ogres.

Same reason there are female-only races (harpies, val'kyr). Because fantasy storylines don't need to have a M/F dichotomy for every single race.

[mysticx]

Laziness/money. They didn't want to make female models basically.

Pretty much this, most NPC/monster races don't crop up often enough to make female models for them as well (Or in cases like murlocs or most undead are too similar to bother), although i think that by now ogres should have had female models, ogres show up in nearly every expansion...

[Kantoro]

Because they needed to give the professional victims something else to complain about.

"Ogre women have yet to appear in a Warcraft game, but they were just as common as male ogres when Aramar Thorne visited Dire Maul and are mentioned in passing in Code of Rule. The few ogre females mentioned in lore include the unnamed wife of Tharg, who died by the claws of the black dragonflight, and an unnamed young female who served King Gordok in Dire Maul. The mysterious island of Ogrezonia is said to be inhabited by giant female ogres who are rumored to perform horrible rituals on men who happen upon their island".

From the wow wiki. So, no, there is no "only 1 in 1000 Ogres are women", but rather "Blizz isn't willing to dedicate the resources to making female Ogres"

where did you get this qoute?
it is no where on wow wiki on the ogre page
"Ogre females have not appeared in the games and only a few have been mentioned in the lore. The few ogre females mentioned in lore include the unnamed wife of Tharg, who died by the claws of the black dragonflight. Chief Ogg'ora was a female ogre sorceress and former leader of the Fire-Gut ogres.[14] One of Gro'ach the Wise's commanders among the Duskbelch ogres was a female barbarian named Vaxar.[15] In 2011 Hallow's End, new masks were added to the game, including an [Ogre Female Mask]."

"No males have been reported, so (rumor has it) harpies breed with captive males of many species, though they prefer elves, orcs, and humans to either smaller or larger species. The males of another species fills the role for a time, after which they become food for the nest. In lean times, harpies can lay unfertilized eggs that become female copies of the mother."

Damn. happy dudes

Happy dudes happy dudes yes

I don't think he meant to reference WoW Wiki, that site has been unreliable for years. Try this. http://wow.gamepedia.com/Ogre#Female_ogres
