Baine may be funny to *you*, sure; but nothing about his portrayal is meant to be taken as comedic (quite unlike Jar Jar). Peace is also not really a concept wed entirely to the Alliance, either - unless your view of the Horde includes the ideal of endless and pointless warring.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
On this website and the official forum?
Yes, 100%. Completely and totally.
If you're not just blindly hateful toward the entire story then you're a shill. If you disagree with a pretzel logiced nonsense version of reality only agreed on by the same 6 people agreeing with each other on every thread, you're wrong, ignorant, misinformed, ect.

That would be a very narrow and subjective definition of "comedic," but I wouldn't fault you for it - just underscore that its going to be very singular in nature. Would also be highly depending on the trait being blown out of proportion, as well. I don't really find any of Baine's traits blown out of proportion, though; I find him a lot more moderate and measured than a lot of Horde members, actually. That being said, restraint and measure aren't always adapted well to an environment like Azeroth, either.

Oh so Baine enters Stormwind and everyone is friends with him but when I try I get attacked.
It's actually when you get (repeatedly) proven wrong with sources when you are wrong, ignorant and misinformed. Because of the dictionary. The same dictionary that indicates the people who can support their point with the aforementioned sources instead of just throwing salt around the boogeyman of "the same 6 people" engaged in TEH CIRCLEJERK aren't the ones with pretzel logic. And the part about how one gets called a shill when they are not "blindly" hateful of the "entire" story is just straw-man bonanza. With a dash of faux victimhood vibes (though that part applies to the entirety of your post to be honest).
Not really. Because my main point on the whole consistency thing was that there was no public for the inconsistency party either. Which makes the constant reminders from Baine's defenders about how amazingly consistent he is absolutely meaningless regardless of whether there's a public for the consistency party instead or not. Because there doesn't seem to be anyone that actually needs that reminder.
My own what?
That makes as much sense as if you said you find me thinking beige color to be ugly (hypothetical example) hyperbolic. Or exaggerated for that matter.
Personal distaste.
No, thinking beige is ugly is a pretty normal statement of opinion. Now if you said "beige is so horrid that it twists my guts into roiling coils of horror and forces me to paint the walls with my own vomit" I would say that is exceedingly hyperbolic. Saying Baine is a bad character who makes bad choices is a measured opinion, calling him "utterly deplorable" is hyperbolic. As with most things it's all a matter of scale.

I think it's just affirming that unless the horde & alliance are replaced with new factions in 9.0, Tyrande & Talanji will be the leaders of the Alliance & Horde. Where the players can participate in the War if they choose, while most cities are at peace & neutral, like Dalaran
What circular logic is this?
They dont support the horde! Traitors!!!111. I support the warchief that doesn't care for the horde and used it as a tool! No that doesn't make me a traitor!!!!11
You realize blizz can't actually delete one faction from the game right? They want to make money.

Why no, people don't just like Sylvie for T&A: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...ery-Cinematic/
I think they're genuinely saying "I know Sylvanas wanted to destroy both factions and kill everyone, including myself, but I support her anyway!"
Not even the death knights are that self-loathing and nihilistic, I'm not sure Blizzard could pull off a faction like that.
Even playing as my forsaken death knight, who I RPed to be near-braindead from all the resurrections, with <The Gullible> title (my new favorite alt), hearing her admit to my face that she sent the Horde to die to Azshara didn't sit well with me for some reason.
