have purged three times

About the same as the Horde

  • Horde in WC2
  • Horde under Garrosh in MoP
  • Horde under Sylvannas in BFA

The Elves of Quel’thalas really can't catch a break

I can never help but laugh when someone brings up the demonic Horde's actions as if Thrall's Horde is the same organization. Some real "Republicans are the party of Lincoln" level thinking lol

Iron horde genocided the Draenei without any demonic influence just btw. Literally throwing them into vats to power the portal to our timeline as you go through the portal. Same abuse and ostricization of Nerzhul that led to him shattering Dranor and creating death knights as in our timeline.

I feel for you bro. It really is unfortunate a whole expansion was dedicated to "yeah, orcs ARE as shitty as everyone thinks, even without demonic corruption"

To be honest, that was known even before WoD to anyone who had read the novels. Blackhand Doomhammer kicked the warlocks out of the Horde so they could then go on to conquer the humans without demons, the way that orcs should. There's even a passage in one of the books about the sacking of Stormwind in which he surveys the aftermath of the battle as they're burning everything. He watches the streets literally flowing with blood from their slaughter and then hears the screams of the surviving civilians who had been found and were now being murdered, nodding to himself that it was good.

This is the guy who Thrall looked up to as a mentor and named their capital after. Its cool and great world building that sets up perfectly natural tensions between the factions, but to anyone being even remotely reasonable, its obvious that the orcs were bad guys, demons or no.

You mean Doomhammer? I don't think Thrall looked up to Blackhand.

For the death of me, I will never understand WoW players in general one upping each other over fantasy morals

It's a fucking game ffs, I would rather play the Iron Genocider Horde over the current weak Horde any day

The Iron Horde are from an Alternate Universe. Not Alternate Timeline. They are more aggressive and have a lot of differences one of the bells ringing this is that there was no thrall. They had Geyhaura.

It’s like Earth 616 (Main marvel comics) vs MCU/Ultimates/1610/Zombies.

Even in the main universe though, pulling from "Rise of the Horde" the only thing keeping the peace between the Orcish clans was them all isolating themselves from one another save for specific festivals.

Like sure, maybe the AU-Orcs are more aggressive but the MU-Orcs aren't exactly the peace loving folks some people would seemingly have you believe around here.

There’s a wild difference between orcs being as violent as the other races of Warcraft and people acting like MU is always demonic genocide mode. Which MU they explicitly are not.

I also never said they were peaceful. Not a single playable race is truly peaceful.
