A copy of Tevruden's blog because I don't Trust Like that anymore.
Then create a setting for those type of elves! Just don’t demand it to be canon lore all of the sudden, because real life humans are hurt.
Why not?
alright i know that most of this i guess was cropped and the OP was deleted but how the fuck is asking for different skin tones hurting anyone in real life
the conservative wow fandom is getting more surreal every day i s2g
Yeah it was cropped because I just want to wrap my head around one shitty opinion at a time.
Exactly.
PROTIP to everyone saying “But THE LORE!!!!!!11!2”:
Literally all of the lore in this game is made up.
Carine Roitfeld is the Walt Disney of what Tumblr is today. She is the Kanye West of what Tumblr is today. She’s the single most important person to what street style is today.
Kanye West, of who Kanye West is today, recommending that you follow crfashionbook. (via GQ)
Whoa, Kanye West compared someone to himself.

i also just want to gently remind everyone that i personally went to blizzcon and i personally asked chris metzen about the validity of the RPG books (upon which most Wiki sites are still based) and his response was, WORD-FOR-WORD
“they’re a fucking mess”
there is no lore to respect here. there is a pastiche of concepts haphazardly pasted together because they seemed interesting at the time
there are eggs, flour, butter and sugar BUT THERE IS NO PIE
I vote that every important npc Lore character to be replaced with Stitch
Please people, stop the dark skinned blood elves. Can we stick to how the race is supposed to be. They are so pale due to magic usage people, staph, staph eeeeeeet! Don’t kick against the lore, how meh it may be at times, it would still be grand if we all followed it ;_; (or at least us ingame…
Hi guys, can we relax a bit, yes no, maybe, please, would be cool.
Lore is not set in stone for sure, but if you’re roleplaying ingame you should respect the lore Blizzard set out for us. While the theory may apply in Science in our world, we cannot always translate that to a fantasy universe which doesn’t really follow our world and how it works.
This doesn’t mean to say that if YOU WANT TO roleplay a black elf, mexican elf or whatever damn kind of race elf you want, you can. Nobody is stopping you. Be free, use your escapism, whatever I could care less, it’s all gravy.
Her telling you that it doesn’t fit in with lore ISN’T racism. If one person tries to play that card on me or her I swear to god I will start screaming. Racism is about a hate towards a race of people. She doesn’t go hating on any races, she embraces them, but she does so following the guidelines Blizzard have set out and using logic given to us by canon means.
Now I have to say, I feel like a lot of you are bullying her at this point. You are ganging up on her and calling her racist for standing by a point about the lore of Blood elves and that’s not ok. We’re all people, let’s not forget that. Play nice kids. 😛
I haven’t seen any bullying, I’ve seen a lot of people poking holes in her flawed racist argument. So you go ahead and defend her with your shit about lore, so go ahead and tell us why it’s more important for there to be an adherence to a flawed lore than it is to have representation that makes people with darker skin maybe feel like they don’t have to be white to be normal or beautiful. Go ahead and defend that in a way that isn’t racist.
I’d just like to point this out again:
The solution to “It doesn’t make sense according to the lore”?
Write more.

Uses logic and backs up with lore reasons > get lots of angry people at me! people, I was trying to make a more light hearted situation out of it. Why dark skinned blood elves are -not- possible in no particular order.
{A BUNCH OF STUPID BULLSHIT FOLLOWS}
ohhh my GOD
there’s so much mess happening on this subject right now but your mess is by far the most far-ranging; your mess is polluting the fucking ocean
ALL OF YOUR ARGUMENTS BOIL DOWN TO ‘MAGIC USE MAKES YOU PALE’
literally every race in the game uses magic, so by that reasoning, every race should have pale skin. this is just the stupidest fucking line of reasoning i’ve read yet; you are absolutely twisting yourself into a pretzel, you are breaking EVERY POSSIBLE BONE IN YOUR BODY so as to justify your distaste for any elf that goes beyond ‘healthy tan’.
you have no logic here. you have no lore. you have a ridiculous attempt at an ‘argument’ based on a false fucking premise and that is it.
You know that Arcane users, even humans get paler right? Have you seen Jaina as of late? Just pointing it out! Arcane corrupts all. Blood and high elves ‘bathe’ in it as a society as a whole, not like humans or gnomes do for example.
Get your facts right before throwing a tantrum. Go read up on everything I’ve written down there on Wowpedia right now, and come back to me in a few hours with some more arguments then “You are wrong, I am right, nah nah nah”.
