I’m personally more annoyed with how whiny people on WoW forums are in general. It’s goofy.

Did somebody said something wrong about ?
Ok they are fugly but what else ? It's a rebranded race just like all the news race we got since legion.
If there's anything toxic it's just the news races are there for pure marketing
While I don't mind the race, I think they should have been called Junker Gnomes, because that's basically what they are. We already have lore established Mecha-Gnomes. But I think that mechanization should have been a customization for Gnomes like how Blood Elves and Night Elves got their eye color changes.
If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.
As a "BFA-hater" myself, I don't think Mechagnomes are bad at all. They're fine in my eyes. I have vastly more disdain for Vulpera, and Void Elves.
There's a non-trivial amount of people that don't like the idea of having their last allied race be more Gnomey Gnomes that are amputees wearing diapers, tied to a Horde equivalent built on a Horde Goblin rig but otherwise presented as its own species, with the only possible overlap being maybe the 'scamp'ish nature that the Vulpera if you really stretch the imagination.
It's post 2018 so naturally, if a good amount of people don't like a thing and voice it, that's toxicity in our brave new world.
Only thing bothering me as an engineer is when i kill mechagnomes i won't be able to "mine" their corpse like engineers can do against all mechs. I want all your gold and loot from my engineering skill!
Yeah, the same 5 people who will flip a lid if you dare to disparage or put into question the mass appeal of Junker Gnomes.

If you then add the perspective of somebody who expected more from allied races, especially after Zandalari and Kul Tirans and was hopeful for something unique and not just Gnomes but slightly more fascinated with tech, realizing that there are only finite slots for allied races and these may be the final ones?
That might turn into "hate".

Mechagnomes are generally being made fun of because of how meh of an option they are for many people and possibly the last allied race the Alliance gets, and because they can't really wear any armor on their arms and legs, and because their diaper look isn't particularly flattering, and because they are like Lightforged Draenei are to regular Draenei in a world where we do have actual races that don't just feel like more extreme versions of the base race.
Vulpera are getting made fun of because "hurr durr furry. Furries in WoW, everyone. The Horde is ded because yiff!"

Gotta agree. That's why, if I make a Junker Gnome, I'll just make sure to always wear the heritage helmet on it.
I tried to cover up the face of my nightborne cus they fucked their eyes up, but you will eventually race change because of this. Its a never ending thing and it alwqys botherd me.
The hate on furry or vulpera is likely because of those weird anime chicks who wear a plush/fur thing on their head 24/7 and laugh like a 6 year old. Whats not to hate?
