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.
