Seen this Ion quote mentioned quite a bit with regards to Blood Elf skin tones. The answer is too long for a tweet, so here we go.pic.twitter.com/AO3oI2a6Ym

hold up, who are you telling not to be racist? me? that commenter? the same devs who need to fix whatever it is you don't like?
Yes, I am racist because I want blizz to not have double standards. Anytime a class/race combo or some customization is not being included, they whip out the "lore" card. But when it fits them, they don't even talk about lore implications.
Matter of the fact is that we have never seen a BE with those skin colors. They could easily introduce them in the new starting zone and we will call it a day. But naw, I am racist, because that is easier to fit your narrative.
But I’m Hispanic, not some Tiki-Torch stooge. Making Belves dark skinned makes zero lore sense. Humans, Dwarves, and now Gnomes dark skin? No problem! It’s titan forging diversity Unless Belves moved to either Durotar or Uldum it makes no sense.pic.twitter.com/q9yw7hn7xQ
No kidding. It’s getting pathetic
I sincerely thought, when only the Bloodelves where Datamined, that it is because if lore. Like: I get it somehow why people could be bummed. I don't agree but I get it. And then dwarfs and gnomes had also dark colour options and I had to change my mind; people are twats.
Ok, I'm gonna play devil's advocate here (since I don't really care what skin they have) - why is that racist? How does wanting to have a proper introduction on rather visible change to a race shows "division based on superiority", especially when we are talking fictional race?
The implication is that white = normal, therefore not white = abnormal, therefore must be explained. Brown people don't need a reason to exist.
