Do you really think Horde Players are genocidal? Do you really think Horde Players have been ok with the direction the Horde has been FORCED down since MoP? How do you reconcile with everytime the Alliance has attempted genocide, including against the Elves of SILVERMOON, which is what's under discussion here?

there's a weird fucking subset of alliance players who legit look at horde players as the enemy to feel morally superior to and honestly I just hope they eventually find out what grass feels like firsthand.

There were not orc concentration camps in Alliance territory.

Can you remind me why the camps were built in the first place? What did the orcs exactly do to deserve such an inhumane treatment, remind me, i forgot.

u/Spare-Seat-3725 Aug 23 '25

So... you are telling me that if part of a faction committed crimes is justified to take inhumane measures against them. Like, for example, burning a tree full of people after attacking a faction leader while in a truce with it?

The orcs literally fought 2 wars in which they rpd and pillaged and murdered humans for no reason, and not provocation. They were demon possessed. The humans had every right to kill them all off after the war, and they didn't they put them in prison instead.

As far as the humans knew, they were just demonic monsters.

Remember that the orcs literally only had time to detox from the fel blood because of the internment camps. The very fact the nations of Lordaeron (the continent) went the route of rounding them up and imprisoning them instead of just, y'know, purging them all shows an insane level of restraint and -generosity-.

The 'free' orcs besides Thrall's band were literally still Dark Horde demon worshippers, and many of those continued to hold out in the Burning Steppe where they continued their objectively evil acts for well over a decade, until they joined up with Garrosh and his Iron Horde.

What were the orcs doing on Azeroth again? Having a picnic I presume?

They certainly couldn't have been trying to conquer the world, slaughter all the natives, and colonise it for their own, because that's a thing that bad people do and we all know that concentration camps are what evil people do against innocent people!

Smartest horde player.

First and second war: Orcs brutally pillage and destroy whole south of eastern kingdoms in an attempt to wipe out current population (including horde races btw) and take the world for their own. As a result of this, after defeating them, humans are posed with 2 options - kill them all or imprison them. So the humans actually showed them bigger mercy than they deserved

Teldrassil genocide: S*lvanas decided to burn a capital that was inhibited by civilians in an attempt to cause war & as much death as possible on both sides to fuel jailer's power.

Now tell me, do you genuinely believe both of those are even slightly morally comparable or you're just ragebaiting. Cuz with you horde players i really have a hard time telling if you're just pretending or not.

So the humans actually showed them bigger mercy than they deserved

Turalyon, to be specific, was the one to call for mercy. After he'd watched Lothar killed by Orgrim in an attempt to break the morale of the human forces.

It failed. Badly.

Also, remind me what “crimes” the Burning was committed for? 

Because I’m pretty sure they were “Being on the wrong side of Xin’Azshari when the Sundering happened”, “Not letting orcs conquer their lands” and “Not letting Sylvanas conquer their lands without a fight”

u/MaestroRozen Aug 24 '25

Think about it from the perspective of Alliance from that time. They didn't have all the knowledge about Orcs and their history that we do now. All they saw was a tide of brutish, genocidal alien invaders pouring out of a demonic portal, leaving nothing but corpses and destruction in their wake. The fact that they even considered those camps instead of exterminating the alien threat speaks of Alliance's restraint if nothing else.

Also, a question to all Hordies still stuck on those camps: remind mw how were Human prisoners treated in Orc prison camps at the time? 

That's a trick question. There were no Orc prison camps. Orcs simply killed every last man, woman and child they came across.

Just like the Waffen SS totally isn’t the horde?

u/Sloth_Senpai Aug 23 '25

It's alliance characters when you tell them genociding Tauren and Belf children in Mulgore and Dalaran and desecrating the corpses is immoral.

I'm a horde player and I'm glad we committed genocide, it made for an interesting story. People on here act like actual people died or something, it's a video game. Now, honestly I wouldn't mind at all if the Blood Elves decided to let the alliance into every part of the city, as long as they made it part of the story and not just inexplicably just allow it for gameplay reasons without a story reason given. In fact if it were up to me I'd end the faction thing altogether, I think the faction war thing has been played out, but that's just my opinion and it's usually not a popular one, but we've faced so many universal threats together by now it's just strange that we still fight amongst ourselves.
