Wrathion definitely isn't coded as black...



The issue is that black characters in video games face more scrunity than anything else. If she were a white woman which a russian accect I guarantee people would be saying how "badass" she is rather than focusing on why she's unrealistic or ugly.

To be fair either woman with those characteristics are more realistic than a video game’s body armor, the scrutiny wouldn’t hold. Bodily and mental damage is par the course for army vets.

other than that, that Earthen and Harronir looked fuckin sick, if elves looked more like that i'd actually like them

To be honest, i'm one who can't stand the insertion of "modern representation" in media. I roll my eyes everytime i see that. However, this one looks badass. I just hope they don't make her too cheesy for modernity sake.

There's no way that Harronir aren't gonna be an Allied Race.

People who argued that "Oh, it's just NPC options, it doesn't mean anything" have to be absolutely coping now.

she has an attitude i think you'll enjoy, i played in the campaign and i think there is 1 or 2 moments like that. More importantly she doesn't do what i thought she would is coddle Anduin

OK . . . I just did a quest about a Nerubian newlywed asking me to bring her husband back and when I get him to her, she kills and eats him? Which . . . why?

Cause spiders??

Probably a reference to how some spider and other bug females behave after copulation.

Some female spiders will consume their mate after he served his purposed.

Could you give an example?

Don't you know that female spiders eat male spiders?

The other problems being she's disabled? That's your problem, you don't like that she's black & disabled. The solution getting therapy. You're welcome.
It's wild how you guys forgot everyone's first observation about the War Within was how predominantly featured the beautiful white characters, Anduin, Alleria, & Jaina are this expansion. You're complaining about the disabled black character momentarily obscuring your view of the beautiful people, essentially.

really guy? you are the one with the list of things you don't like about the character and one of them is black.

you hating a character for having injury's is kind of shit too. maybe take some time off twitter and truth social yea?

As long as people see "black" as a feature, there's no point talking about this topic.

"A character can't be black unless there is a reason for it!".

And yet Gamers don't have a tendency to be racist

Wait, So i want to make very sure im not putting words in your mouth. YOU dont like her because she was made with real life issues other people have an that makes her bad?
Lets take away the Black part. i wont even comment on that clearly thats a weird reason to not like a character.
Girlboss would imply shes a badass. which you said she needed to be because shes ugly but now that shes badass shes a girlboss which you hate?
Not attractive really a eye of the beholder type thing so cant comment on that because i also dont find her attractive but i dont hate her because of it lol.
Missing an arm doesnt matter because she has a shield arm?
Blind = "Blind"
ima be honest i think you just dont like black people my friend.

being a girlboss is not problem
being blind is not a problem
being disabled is not a problem
being black is not a problem
being a woman is not a problem
being ugly is not a problem

being all these things at the same time is a problem because you know it's just another attempt of forced inclusivity made by blizzard

is this that hard to understand?

[Merryck]

Man ... she is just hard to look at.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

What? .... he black or should all blacks be African American?

He looked like an Eastern prince to me, like from The King and I

[Cheezits]

I think it's pretty clear that they are still catching up on the decade plus of Warcraft where the only important women were Sylvanas, Tyrande and Jaina. Three whole characters. Since BFA they have taken lengths to introduce more women in positions of power to make up for that giant gap.

However if they keep doing this thing where almost every important campaign character is a woman, I think there will eventually be some understandable pushback. We're already seeing it now.

So there are 3 solid places for patches:

- rootlands
- Undermine or goblin content
- Azeroth core/world soul

Imo either Forbidden Reach + 2 big zones situation or rootland/goblin will be just megadungeon.

hope some heavely scared fellow doesn't walk past you to ruin your day buddy :^)

[Merryck]

She looks like a vampire bat. I hope she stays underground in the caves where she belongs.
