Why honor is a stupid concept

[Candy Cough]

People like to bring real world morals into a medieval fantasy world with walking corpses and talking cows, and that is exactly why its stupid

Honor in the old times, like during world war 1 was because people were simply fighting because they had to. You didn't really want to go to war, neither did the guy on the other side either. Then we have literally ever other conflict in human history

In medieval times we fucking burned witches with little to no evidence at all, we used to burn people alive and crush their skulls to torture them and gain information. We burned them alive in iron bulls and we left people alive in cages to be eaten alive by crows and insects

In world war 2 the allies nuked the japanese, the soviets raped germans and the nazis genocided 6 million people in concentration camps

And right now Nato and basically every other nation on the planet is collectively bombing the crap out of Syria and using gas weapons to kill civilians while ISIS burns and drowns people alive.

WHERE THE ACTUAL FUCK DOES THE CONCEPT OF HONOR IN WOW EVEN COME FROM??

The humans are racists. The Blood elves massacred the amani, take leper gnome slaves and torture naruu, The orcs created a path out of the bones of innocents and the Draenei has let entire civilizations get leveled when fleeing from the legion because they couldn't be bothered to prepare or warn the natives. As Lor'themar said in MoP: "When will they learn? When will they see that the Horde exists BECAUSE of the Alliance? Because of their prejudice and their bigotry!? They force us ever closer to Hellscream's Horde."

The horde and alliance HATE each other with a burning passion, and they always have and always will. Take the forsaken. They are literally surrounded by enemies, people who want them dead, they are outnumbered 10 to 1 and they can't replenish their numbers. Why the fuck wouldn't they use nuclear weapons? The US did it, and it is justified to reduce deaths, the forsaken literally do the same thing

So I think we can establish that bringing real life morals into world of warcraft is retarded
