i just know someone who is like "muh escapism" is about to be the most white bread frustrating person on the planet who cannot separate art from their own personal identity and ergo cant really see other peoples experiences or care about them much at all

That is how Shadows of the Horde did it best, because ideologically speaking, Vol’jin aligns with Tushui, but that takes exactly 0 from his identity as a Troll and a Horde member. It is the only instance I have seen in which this is done to enhance characterization, rather than bastardizing it-

okay last update (for now) i added glowing eyes and a fountain

the water pours out of the lil squid mouth 🦑

These are the same dumbasses who drove Madeleine Roux off a platform, despite her writing one of the best Warcraft books in years. There isn't a modicum of stock I place in any opinion these people have, because 99% of the time it's reactionary content created to sate a hateful mob. But I digress.

I will never forgive those pieces of shit for chasing her off the franchise, and I will never forgive Blizz for not vocally having her back. Absolute shit tier cowardice from them.
