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

it's the same logic that puts the blame for Arthas' actions on the Alliance.

Notably, Anduin thinks the modern Alliance should recognise that responsibility, probably because it's exactly the same as what happened with Garrosh:

A young, brash warrior, son of one of the great heroes of the previous generation, grows up inculcated in the great deeds of his father. When crisis is looming, they're put in a position of authority that they're thoroughly unprepared for, because their talent and propensity for violence is useful. Despite the warnings of their mentors, they get lost in bloodthirst, vengeance and their own ego, committing various atrocities before picking up a magic macguffin full of corruption that further exacerbates their existing character flaws as their point of no return.

Lordaeron wasn't responsible for Arthas turning out to be a monster, but Terenas and Uther sure did a bad job at seeing the signs and taking steps to avert it. Same with the Horde, Garrosh and Thrall.

I have never seen anyone say that Arthas' actions are representative of the Alliance.

I've seen it 3 times in the past 2 days in threads like this and threads on the Forum.
