Small tip for you: There are very few "true villains" in the entire series. Only the Legion/Scourge actually fit that bill as far as the content of WC3 and almost everything that happens after goes. Everyone else is more or less reacting to the events as they unfold and doing their best to survive in the world they are handed. Garithos is still a dick tho, and got less then he deserved in the end.
Look guys I know genocide is the word of the week but can we stop using it to describe every incidence of violence that has ever happened in the history of Azeroth? Not only is it rarely accurate in the first place but it's needlessly emotive and rarely helpful.
The alliance don't accept DKs... Like at all (neither do the horde for that matter). Player characters are a gameplay contrivance, not only are DKs exceedingly rare in the first place (as legion but mostly BFA was the first time they extended their ranks since wrath) but absolute best case they're seen as a necessary evil, like locks but worse because they were actual enemy combatants not just consorting with evil forces.
How are the void elves evil btw?
As if Jaina would care about the opinion of small folks in the Kingdom of Stormwind... And even if she did, the Horde would do something horrid to remind Joe about that time the orcs destroyed his farm and killed his family about 30 years ago. I'm sorry, but the Orcs haven't been really good at playing the redeemed ones. And some years later, even Jaina will agree with Joe the Farmer.

Me thinks Chromie has a whole lot of splaining to do!
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!

Current Orcs were part of the Horde that killed all those Draenei whose bones are paving the Path of Glory. Varok Saurfang was one of them, as Drek'tar and many others who had nightmares because of what they did back then. Fel Blood Orcs were a thing in TBC, not during the First War.

Yeah, exactly. And where Saurfang, Drek'tar and all those so-called "heroes" were born? Draenor. They were part of the Orcish Horde. The very same who killed all those Draenei. Even Durotan was (against his wishes). The whole Orc story arc since WC3 is about freeing themselves from the sins they have comitted. We cannot exonerate them of the things they did during the First and Second Wars (i.e. "it was not them, it was those other Orcs") or their whole story arc would make no sense. Back in the First War, the Orcs were bloodthirsty genocidal maniacs. And people in Azeroth would remind that. Losing a brother or a mother to the axe of red-eyed, ape-faced, tusked green behemoth while your farm is burning is not something you can brush aside easily, even if Jaina Proudmoore said so. So the first reaction of a human learning that the Blood Elves joined the Orcs would be "WTF! Bloody turncloaks, the lot of them!"

Theramore isn't genocide. It was the Alliance's largest naval installation and therefore not genocide. It'd be like calling Pearl Harbor genocide.
I have plenty of arguments as to why Teldrassil is technically not genocide but I'm not gonna bother going into that.

So are you going to have the same hatred and blame for all the genocides humans have enacted over the course of Azeroth's history then?
Even if Jaina has been retconned (more like headcannoned) into simply teleporting them into prison, it doesn't alter the fact that the High Elven faction that represented the "alliance" side of things was basically running around the city with impunity lynching the Blood Elven population like a bunch of lunatics essentially with her tacit consent because she decided to render a guilty verdict on all of them for the actions of an incredibly tiny select few.
