Not trying to bud in on the argument. But the reason why Blood/high elves are white as a ghost is because lore wise(not blizzard lore) elves were from countries where darker skin was basically never seen, Elves are children of nature(cont)
Oh I can totally see your point, blizzard should run a very serious game that should adhere to cultur—
GOD FUCKEN DAMNIT, LICH TITTIES
EVERYTHING IS RUINED
Blizzard is a very serious company with very serious lore that includes very serious subject matter like a military General braving the treacherous hills of Nagrand, crawling with hostile lion-men, to retrieve a young Goblin’s spank material.
Yeah ok you just keep trying to explain your racism in a setting where literally everything is made up
I’m literally just saying Elves are pretty much stuck with fair skin, tan and semi-orange much like how Night Elves are stuck with purple, pink and blue, trolls with blue, purple, green and black, Orcs with green and yellow and Mag’har Orcs with Brown.
Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes are pretty much, the only races that have diverse skin tones. I guess I become Orthmar Garithos because I said Blood Elves have a slim chance of actually having dark skin tones.
(Pandaren, Tauren and Worgen don’t count since.. Well. That’s fur, not skin.)
I am literally just saying that you don’t know how imagination works.
And that you’re being racist.
All we need now is a bunch of white saviours to draw beautiful “exotic“ elves of colour (or just get a lot of publicity and never do anything with it) and fetishize them and make sure to remind everyone how much better they are than white people. Any black people disagreeing = just gross whitewashed pissbabies who perpetuate racism.
Slim chance isn’t nonexistent. It’s like saying white skintone in children of black parents is also rare. Using ‘aryan’, though, LMAO.
Oh please no, they might try pulling the race card on me again and I am pretty sure my the volume of my laughing would wake the neighbors.
Blizzard isn’t wrong for making their skin with lighter tones, they’re simply sticking to cultural lore for elves.
You mean the lore that they literally made up and will ignore for gameplay reasons right?
Because that second one is actual Blizzard policy.

because if certain lore doesn’t make sense from a logical standpoint, they most likely will not do it. No ones telling anyone their headcanon’s are irrelevant, but it’s probably going to remain just that, a headcanon.
Ahh yes, arguing logic when we’re literally in the middle of the “my dad can beat you up” expansion.

Headcanons and your opinion on creativity are all well and good, but established lore is what it is, holy ever loving christ
Yes, please educate us all of us on the substantive difference between headcanon and established lore, and why Blizzard can’t just make up more things to add to a body of fiction.
If you’re arguing against darker skin on a non-existent fantasy race, without any canon proof against such skintones, which shares real-life human skin tones, please get off my blog. Your subtle racism and hate against people with darker skin can get out.
Plus, like 90% of my characters are dark skinned why’re you even here.
