why are night elves so often depicted as bimbos when they're actually ancient and strong amazons?
night elves are bimbos actually. It's true to their nature
>>738439398WoW took everything that was unique and interesting about Night Elves and removed it for MMO balance reasons. Eg. In lore the men never speak to anyone but their wives. When they have a council, the men all sit around the table, and each talks telepathically to his wives who then speak for him. It's a ridiculous but awesome setup that immediately makes it clear they're doing something original with these Elves. They're more ferocious and less grandiose than traditional high fantasy Elves. Then WoW came along and just let's everyone be a male NE, a female Troll, whatever they want and do whatever they want, whenever they want. And so everything that made NE's interesting got thrown away.
>>738439398because a lot of bimbos actually go amazon mode
>>738439398Because WoW (yes, vanilla, I'm not even going to acknowledge all the shit that came later) was a setting-wide character assassination that, even to this day, it brings me great shame to remember that it took me until the announcement of TBC to realize just how bad things were.
>>738441343WoW made the same cardinal sin a lot of fantasy settings commit:>Make Elves extremely ancient and powerful.>Then start including them in the main events of a given story as a major actor.>So now you have to tear them down and shit on them all the time, because otherwise they would wipe everyone out without any problems.>Become so accustomed to shitting on them you keep doing it to the point the Elvish faction/nation in question becomes a joke.
>>738439398They're not.WoW is popular so there's lots of porn and porn artists are perverts(fags) so they make women into bimbos to overcompensate
I like the 2D bimbo aesthetic and my personal, extensive research shows more Draenei have more bimbo porn.
>>738445241you'd think it would be blood elves
>>738439398The worst thing WoW did to the nelves was force them into the Alliance>Humans are already the Main Characters of the Alliance so nelves can't eclipse them>Humans and dwarves are very morally clean races so the nelves have to cut back on their warrior aspects to fit alongside them (roles that belves or high elves would have fitted better)>The Alliance is part of a faction war so nelves have to give up their spot as a greater power and third faction in order to force conflicts with the Horde and play a supporting role to the humans>Also it's an MMORPG and we're a few years out from Current Year, so we can't have sex-restricted classes which is part of the nelves' identity>We're also lazy and don't want to make the Ancients or Wisps do things when they were essential to nelf infrastructure and culture>And even when Current Year sensibilities do let writers feel they should pander to the girlboss faction, the Sentinels, the writers are too bad at their jobs to know how to do thatThis is why druids barely get to be druidic, why Tyrande is the most neutered version of herself, why Malfurion is useless, and why nelves don't get to be cool anymore. Warcraft died with 3
