      There’s a Rommel like thing going on with Saurfang. So, Rommel was held up as being a more simplistic, honourable guy after the WW2, with much of that being pushed by the allies in order to ease the German people back into the fold & give a character to rally around.

      This somewhat created the ‘honourable German army’ story. (Also furthered by postwar German memoirs). Ofc WW2 is a far more serious topic, and I mean no disrespect - it’s just interesting to see art emulate history. I wonder if Blizzard had this in mind?

      So, looking at Saurfang, they’re whitewashing some of his actions & putting the blame on Sylvanas, and are then holding him up as the symbol behind which postwar horde can rally. Interesting parallels!

      If you can’t talk about history, you’re not going to learn anything. I know it’s a little wild for Warcraft, but Blizzard did bring genocide into the story, so here we are.

      It still is a wild stretch to compare the atrocities of people who killed millions and abused even more (including my family) with the actions of a virtual character. There is a time to talk about history and to respect it, but it isn't with the lore of WoW.

      Yeah, I disagree. Art can be a vehicle to teach. I suspect we’re at an impasse here & won’t gain from further engaging on it.

          Oh this is not a "keep politics out of my games" argument, I just think drawing parallels with that is not something the team was aiming for and if they did, they did it in a woeful distasteful way. But yeah, agree to disagree.

          I think that is part of the point. They (Blizzard) clearly did draw a parallel (whether intentionally doesn't really matter). It might be distasteful, but that is not the fault of the people pointing out the parallels, is it?

          I agree that art can be a vehicle to teach. Unfortunately, I think BfA's morals that "War bad, genocide bad, morality and unity good" are all things we learned when we were 6. There's nothing really groundbreaking, challenging, or adult with this piece.
