Skoll Shorties

The -entire- Horde being bloodthirsty monsters is NOT canon.

No, but the majority of them being in support of bloodthirsty actions is. That was the whole point of Saurfang's moral journey. He realizes the Horde has never lived up to his ideologies. I sense some satire in Dave's original comment too. So I think I get what he's saying. Its-

-not that the Horde is 100% bloodthirsty and warmongering. But for all intents and purposes, the writers might as well have sent that message.

Which is exactly why so many Horde players despise BfA's writing. Because it was laughably awful. These players who then try explain they aren't like that are instantly shot down by Alliance loving fanboys who scream that they are. And then Sylvanas loyalists start spamming-

I personally quite liked Battle for Azeroth's writing. What is making me bewildered here is what people took away from the storyline and arcs the characters went on. Who in the hell took away from this, "Oh yeah. The Horde are mainly all evil." What.

BfA's writers unintentionally made the Horde full of, at minimum, morally weak people. Because after committing wholesale genocide, most of them stuck with their leader and doubled down. It took nothing less than that leader mocking them and fucking off for them to turn.

Blizzard is to blame here. Because the actions they portrayed did not line up with the moral message they intended to send.

Well, that's not what I took away from any of this. So yeah.
