@Eggroll Hordies keep crying about losing characters, and I got tired of replying in detail, so I just saved a post. Feel free to use it.

Well, this should not come as a surprise to anyone. The Nightelves might like to keep what is left of their population alive and allowing the Horde in their lands has repeatedly done the opposite, ever since Thrall's Horde set foot on Kalimdor.
The Horde has a lot to make up for and by now they have done nothing. Thrall is the only member of the Horde who even tried to apologize, the rest doesn't give a crap or would rather keep murdering Night Elf babies for the fun of it, so there is no Neutrality. There is a bigger thread at the moment, thanks to the Horde supporting a psychopathic mass murder YET AGAIN, but there is no reason to think that killing Sylvanas would mend the relationship between Horde and Alliance.
The two nobodies were nobodies only to the Horde. Calia is pretty much as undead as every Forsaken and Derek is still an Alliance character the Horde claimed.

But she was killed by Sylvanas, wasn't she?
And which Horde characters did the Alliance kill lately? And what lands did the Horde lose, despite losing a war twice?... nothing comes to mind.

Sylvanas didn't even win the popular vote, she was elected by an indirect election of representatives. #NotMyWarchief
Hordies have trouble with political structures more complex than "you do what me say or die" warchiefs and cultures more sophisticated than "Me want, me take." The ones that do understand more realize the Horde is wrong, and therefore resort to anything to avoid admitting that.

Yeah, the event kind of suffers from the narrator meta-absolving Anduin of any blame, despite the fact he brought Calia, the heir by claim of succession to Lordaeon, there in secret probably assuming nobody will recognise her? The two people that did had vastly different reactions and one is specifically justified by him being her close personal friend in life. The other one was absolutely horrified and immideately went to tell Sylvanas, who assumed the worst and was affirmed in it by Calia's subsequent actions. But we can't have the golden boi look bad so any interesting political implications, which could have been explored were dropped instantly making Calia's death pretty much meaningless outside of making her some wierd thing that goes against established interactions of light and undead, because reasons?
Most notably the recent ones would be King Rastakhan and Nathanos Blightcaller.
Which are more notable than any kills Horde scored against the Aliance since King Llane Wryn and as you may notice the Aliance still has the majority of it's OG leadership. Anduin, Tyrande&Malf, Mekatorque, Velen, Greymane and arguably Magni, altho he is in the Thrall zone.
Meanwhile Horde:
Cairne - dead by poison
Vol'jin - dead by Felguard
Thrall - fucked off to green jesus(comparable to MAgni)
Kael'thas - suddenly a villain that betrayed everyone and had to be killed twice... so far.
Sylvanas - storytelling disaster still ongoing
Grommash - sacrificed himself twice
Gallywix - now a fugitive
and so forth not even counting the pre-Thrall iterations.
As far as the zones go that was mostly Blizzard correcting a Vanilla disparity based on them working on the Eastern Kingdoms first and just giving Aliance way more stuff initially.
It's not even to say that the Alliance has not done bad things, there's plenty of examples that can be pointed to as being war crimes or just general atrocities, but the Genn example just breaks down on so many levels (most notably the results of each action and the concept of individual vs. collective action).

It means nothing because the Night Elves have always been incredibly protective of their lands. Literally nothing has changed.
Attacking the head of a state can be even more damaging than killing civilians.
Also Teldrassil wasn't genocide, but I get that it supports your narrative.
Genocide is when you target a specific group and want to exterminate them because of being in that group. Like what Hitler did.
Sylvanas didn't go to war thinking " Man I sure hate Night Elves I want to kill them all "

Of course the Alliance has done its share of bad (and Hordies have trouble distinguishing between explaining motivations and justifying). At absolute worst, you can blame Genn for attacking at a poor time given the information he had. The game shows that his hunch was correct though, that surprise surprise, the Horde's resident scheming, mind controlling, civilian torturing witch was scheming to free an evil demigod for her personal benefit.

They get to decide what's canon. Sorry you don't like it, feel free to continue your head canon.
