A Predicament

Writing a Horde-centric fic should be easy. They represent exactly how I feel about my own ancestry: a proud warrior race, corrupted by past evil, seeking to forge a new destiny. Hell, we even have the far right represented by Garrosh’s regime: an uber masculine authoritarian regime that, while claiming to abhor the corruption of old, besmirches the name of the race with new and worse evils for the present, all the while claiming to represent a return to traditionalism.

But for some reason, I can’t. Maybe it’s difficult for me to defend any thing that Sylvanas has done since, I don’t know, ever! And now that she’s warchief and her first act was to basically besmirch the meaning of “Lok’tar Ogar”, what she stands for is the old Horde: the Horde of Blackhand, Gul’dan, and Garrosh.
