Anyone else find it weird that...

According to people in this thread, when a new Sonic the Hedgehog game comes out, they are just furry baits? Why does every animal race have to lead to "OMG Animal race --> "Furries will like this!!! zuhgfufdhgsdfigh!"

There's no difference between the Nightborne and the Vulpera, except that we're going into an expansion openly presuming they'll be made playable because of the storm of speculation on them being made playable. Wait for Vol'Dun to come out and for us to see the storyline before jumping to conclusions that they'll have no lore and won't make sense as a player race.

Nightborne got a whole zone dedicated to them, along with the only halfway decent storyline in Legion, an entire raid and the first "proper" city in WoW aside from Stormwind.
Nightborne are basically cousins to Blood elves, also closely related to the night elves - a common ancestry to an established race makes a lot of things more or less self explanatory.

Will the Vulpera have anything of that? Well, the zone perhaps, we'll see if Vol'dun will be 100% Vulpera as Suramar was 100% Nightborne focused.

Vulpera can work.

Gnomes, at least have some constant angry face options.
The Vulpera, do not.

They are being pitched, visually, as harmless, and child-like. And yes, it's undeniable there are Furries out there.

And basically, people who just play Humans for example, don't want to be associated with the Furries who play the game.

Playing WoW has been 1000% times more embarassing since Worgen and Pandaren were added. Because sickos fetishize them, and now normies will group the masses with those vocal minorities.

Edit; That being said, I suppose there were always you people out there who fetishized the other races.. Fuck so this game is just irredeemable.. Bad apples ruining the bunch.
