Exodus isn't genocide. Destroying enemy camps isn't genocide. Given the goal of making Kalimdor Horde, destroying the camps isn't even desired since they could be settled.
It's almost as if you reap what you sow.
Do tell where you got Draenor's census.
Yeah, they only dragged the Legion in tow, dooming countless words, knowing full well that'd be the result. And were fine with it.
Garrosh was racist before he even became Warchief, as per his short story.
There is still zero proof hell happens to all undead because they are undead.
What Orcs want is rather irrelevant when it's the Alliance that attacks them first ever since they moved to Draenor.
This is abject fanfiction. The Orcs of the New Horde alone were numerous enough at the time of their escape to Kalimdor that they could have won against the Alliance at the time if they wanted to. Night Elves had to join the Alliance for a reason, that being them needing help. And in Cataclysm not only was it the Night Elves that turned on the Orcs by breaking the trade treaty, but it's the Alliance that attacked the Horde first (in the Barrens). As for Ashenvale, Night Elves needed not only the Horde's attention being divided by the Alliance opening a new front in the Barrens, but needed direct reinforcements in Ashenvalde to bail them out as well.
Since when is Teldrassil a part of Ashenvale, let alone the living heart of it? It's a failed world tree that shouldn't have existed.
Except for the part where the Nightborne turned on her and the Legion and prevented the opening of the second biggest portal, saving the world in the process.
And who decides that? You?
The concept of consent does not apply to corpses. The dead they rise are given an option the moment it starts applying to them again.
As has been already pointed out to you, one of the main factions that led the charge against the Scourge was the Ebon Blade. A bunch of undead that made even more undead (before Forsaken got Val'kyr). And no one batted an eye. Even though the Ebon Blade actually made their undead mindless servants, unlike the Forsaken who preserve free will of the people they resurrect. It's almost as if the problem with the Scourge went beyond just undead and was primarily the part where they wanted to gain even more undead by wiping out all life.
Way to ignore the part where Alliance attacked the Horde during the invasion of said Titan, way before he was dealt with. And that it's the Alliance who couldn't see that maybe we should focus on other things. Sylvanas is just reacting to Alliance aggression, only after Legion was defeated and Azeroth wasn't on the brink of annihilation. As for Bwonsamdi, he could have told Vol'jin that long before Vol'jin was on his deathbed.
This is illogical on all fronts. Just because the Legion wants to eradicate all life doesn't mean any action performed by people with some ties to the Legion is by default genocide. Also, the Forsaken formed by fighting a war against both the Scourge and the Legion. And the Legion isn't laying siege to anything now, because it no longer exists.
Yes, it's totally Sylvanas fans that pick and choose canon they want. Not the legion of people incapable of handling her, let alone people liking a character they don't. *cough* even ignoring word of god about Forsaken and free will *cough* Here's a hint: pointing out the data you people ignored in the first place isn't in turn ignoring the rest.
Except not only is this post not 100% right, it also has absolutely nothing to do with your post, or even the one you replied to. You presenting your assumptions as lore does not make them canon. So people not treating them as canon, because they are not, aren't choosing parts of the canon they like.
Meanwhile, among the things that are not Sylvanas' stated goals; genocide.
But I thought you're not an Alliance fan but a totally impartial poster.
As opposed to you pulling genocide out of thin air
You cry bullshit on one hand, on the other hand you completely ignore me saying the Horde also attacked the Alliance in places like Ashenvale in Vanilla in the thread you're referring to, like a paragon of dishonesty. Quality argument you got here. And stating that Alliance attacks the Horde more often is not playing the victim card, it's a fact supported by the lore. You being unable to handle that and projecting some nonsense onto me in an attempt to dismiss it is your personal problem and only adds to your already immense dishonesty.
They can contest it all they want, doesn't make the act of contesting not an act of aggression and there's no amount of brilliant squirming that you can perform to alter this reality. Also, the Horde was the aggressor in Andorhal? Really? Never mind the fact that the factions were already in a world war by the time it happened. Andorhal belonged to the realm of Lordaeron that the Forsaken claimed, while the Alliance had no rights whatsoever to. And the Alliance went there only to open another front against the Forsaken. With us arriving at the scene while the fight has already begun, with there being no information who started it. And then when Thassarian and Koltira made truce, it's the Alliance that broke it in a surprise attack.
In this case? Given how the time in Azeroth doesn't include just conflicts in Ashenvale, this invasion doesn't rest on the previous attempts and stems from the faction relations as a whole.
Given how genocide requires a specific intent, it matters everything. Legal concepts are pedantic by nature.
How do you eradicate land? Is the Horde going to unleash Exterminatus upon Kalimdor? That'd go against their stated goal of conquering Kalimdor you just talked about.
Except it's a textbook example of ethnic/political cleansing. Which is the closest crime to genocide there is.
The minds of delicate, brilliant minds filled with legions of straw-men of some Alliance players do not constitute lore forum in the real world. For all my years here I've yet to see anyone claim Taurajo was the most heinous act in Warcraft.
Literally the first quest you get in Silithus has you blowing up Horde shredders in their camp. And the Horde didn't seem to like Alliance spies intruding on their territory and blowing up things in their encampment.
I.e. kill anyone trying to prevent the Alliance from intruding on Horde's property rights, in a place the Alliance has no right to be in in the first place. I guess when you break into someone's home and they try to defend their home, you're free to kill them on the spot then
Never mind that the only source of the ore for the quest is a drop from the Goblins. That you have to kill to get said ore.
You sort of addressed it in the later part of this post, but I want to cover this for emphasis. The Horde has the right to defend their outpost from an intrusion of foreign operatives. The Alliance operatives on the other hand have zero right to even enter the camp. Let alone to steal the Azerite, kill Goblins to steal the Azerite from or blow things up in the outpost. The Alliance is 100% in the wrong here.
Yet when the player gets involved and gets tasked with obtaining more samples, rather than being directed anywhere else to grab them, they are told to get the samples from Horde outpost they have no right to be in. With the only source for the ore being dead Goblins. I wonder where did they get the first sample from then. Especially given the fact that they learned of it by observing Horde activity in the first place.
Nothing about thousands upon thousands has been datamined. So check "confirmed" in the dictionary. What has been datamined was the Horde going through Felwood (which is a Fel-tainted shithole with barely any Night Elven activity) and even taking a detour to Winterspring rather than going through populated Ashenvale. Given the topography of the terrain, that means they're probably going via air for the most time.
And what has also been datamined was the Horde force consisting of 200 hundred soldiers. Yup, totally capable of killing thousands upon thousands on their way to Teldrassil.
