Horde-side at least, alot of people dislike Mists of Pandaria due to its black and white morality as well as usage of racist writing cliches.

That's why I said that this is based on reddit and tumblr, where some are from reddit if I didn't have the tumblr data.

Also this is World of Warcraft, the game is absolutely littered with racist writing cliches, I would go as far to say that the game is based on a foundation of racist writing cliches and Blizzard is currently trying to somewhat mend them, but they cannot escape that foundation that was set up for them 20 and even 10 years ago. It's sad, but you will find the racism in every expac in some degree.

Always remembering this post whenever Blizzard and WoW's racism is brought up, when someone was "Blizzard has potent orientalism that is 10 years behind everyone else's" and yeah, pretty much.

#I am not happy with how the orcs are drawing from both black culture and central asian cultures #and they are these violent people whose culture is violence #and sometimes portrayed as dumb too #as someone who loves my orc shazi this is so annoying to deal with #I think most of the horde races are done dirty by the fact that the horde is portrayed as evil until recently #and most of the horde races are PoC coded
