...Do you get my point? It's a thing. It doesn't matter that it wasn't used before, it's being used now to describe Sylvanas's actions.
Because that's what words do.
..Ah. Yes. Modern, 'social justice', a concept that clearly originated in the 40's, along with the term genocide. Please, then, do go on to explain how the writers used to have an established system of morality and ethics for the Horde that's been wildly different from our own?
Because they don't. There are some groups that do things you could put in that category, but.. Would you guess what? They're all framed as villainous, to one degree or another. The writers have always written from a mindset of modern morality.
