Why can't PoC be represented in literal fantasy races you dip?

Taditional elves are very white but the way elves have become they always seemed chinese to me
>super arrogant
>consider themselves the center of the world
>get BTFO constantly

Because the word "elf" literally means "white being".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf
That's actually a good observation.

They can be as long as the fantasy world isn't based in a medieval European aesthetic.

wot

no shit, it's the only race they ever play. why do you think they had to add blood elves?

Chinese people are closer to Skaven than to elfs.

They bastardized the elvish lore with all of these derivatives. It's pitiful.
Elves are white beings. They are not asian, nor was the elvish lore originated in Asia. It's a European creation that is constantly bastardized by koreans with their MMORPG crud and Japanese with their hentai material. It's all so sickening.
>they can
Stop. No they can't. If they can't do it right, don't bother.

Who gives a shit about Warcraft anyway? It's LITERALLY a clone of Warhammer Fantasy and the current version is made to sell to brainlets and Chinese.

Regarding Warhammer
>Of the races that inhabit the world, Rick Priestley identified their origins as being based on British themes, the dwarfs are like blunt-spoken Yorkshire men, Elves having a touch of Southern England and received pronunciation about them, and the Orcs speaking with a working class London accent.

>who cares
Why care about anything user? I exist to preserve intellectual property from deviant scum using it to create whatever they want.

lol what you gonna do about it you autistic nerd

>I exist to preserve intellectual property
Are you a lawyer? No you're some autistic faggot teenager obssessed with muh trpg, you can't do shit about it. Cringe.

Yes, I actually am an intellectual property lawyer. I've done hundreds of these cases. People think they can do whatever they want without consequences.

Shut your ugly pepe ass face up wagey.

I will send you a cease and desist letter.

You forgot
>Constantly tampering with forces they do not understand, frequently leading to suffering for everyone else on a global scale

>constantly pretending to be something they are not
No matter how much these Asians try to bring about a communist harmony, it will never come to fruition. They are stifling their freedoms for totalitarian rule. Their people are destructive, racist, and narrow minded. I wish you could meet a mainland Chinese person. You would hate them in less than 10 minutes.

Because elves aren't human, so seeing two distinct human phenotypes in another race is jarring.

you people are never happy

Come and try. I have army of lawyers of my own.

This isn't a matter of being happy. In a perfect world, a casting group wouldn't have chosen an Asian person for this elf role. Thank god the ears aren't good and their eyes are glowing. Otherwise, it would have been worse. With the glowing eyes and weird armor, it's more Warcraft than Tolkein or old European lore.
Seeing two distinct phenotype for one species is odd indeed.
That commercial was rage inducing and extremely forgettable.

>Seeing two distinct phenotype for one species is odd indeed.
You've never seen anyone outside of your ethnicity?

Hearthstone is where it's at my nig

Tbh the buildings for the Night Elves were very asian in WoW

kys

>they’re not some exotic far east race with their own chi magic and shit
a bit racist but missed opportunity desu

Asians are definitely elves of the real world.

Elaborate

What about dark elves?

Elves are not real, they can be whatever you want them to be

Blizzard is so fucking trash nowadays. They were industry leading in all fucking genres, now they're only clinging on to MMOs thanks to classic. Joke of a company.

>old empire that's actually on last legs. Just waiting to be overtaken by humans.

Not an argument

Thousands of years ago they looked like that. Now they’re all chankoro mutts.

>posts oriental clothing
>posts oriental hair styles
>we elves now btw
Jesus Christ, you are a nuisance.
Same thing. Dark elves aren't suppose to be dark skinned. They are just the wood elves that have never seen the light.
The literal definition of Elf is "white being", and it is an intellectual property created by white people. Therefore, your point makes no logical sense. You can't just be dismissive and ignore the reality. It's people like you that bastardize this material in the first place. Have some integrity. Just some.

The combined stupidity and fragility of p*lt*rds never fails to astonish. Imagine getting butthurt over different interpretations of a fictional species.

Because they have ugly flat features. Fuck off you paki.

Definitions change you sperg

Orcs are black
Fairies are asian except instead of magic they use technology
Little short hard working dwarves are mexicans
Elves are white people

thought it was my avatar waifu in the thumbnail.

It’s been a long ass time since elf has meant white being, you absolute dunce. It does not and has not meant that for hundreds of years.

No they don't, and I will not stoop down to your level.
A fictional species based on an idealization of old world white communities... right user. Imagine not having any respect for intellectual property. That is why Disney spend zero money protecting their characters from IP theft right? No. They spend millions on lawyers for precisely this issue.
Asians never looked like this. Most of them were olive/yellow skinned abominations, and they interbred indoors while their slaves worked in the fields. That's how they produced all the pale skinned asians you see today. And most of it was grooming. Fucking disgusting.

Phenotypes occur because of geographic isolation. So if you're just shoehorning in ethnic diversity you better have a good explanation for why it exists. Besides, elven diversity does exist in many fantasy settings from having different subraces (High elf, Drows, Wood elves, etc.).

Putting contemporary and realistic human diversity for quel'thalas elves doesn't make any sense and it is obviously pandering to woke politics.

gonna coof for this but in the prose edda the dark elves, who live underground and not in the woods, are literally described as "blacker than pitch".

contrasted with light elves that are "fairer than the sun to look at". but the existence of dark elves is contested altogether, and that they might just be another word for dwarves.

As far as i'm concerned if they're pale skinned, it's fine, since the concept of an Elf is derived from that. If you wanted to be flawless you'd only cast the perfect, lithe Scandinavian people that the idea of the Elf is probably based on, and most things don't do that.

It's literally integral Germanic lore you dumb cunt.
Orcs are mutts
Warlocks are black

>Fucking Blizzard...
>Fuck Warcraft.
Better then niggers

Jesus definitely wasn’t white, if he existed, yet he is always depicted as white. Why aren’t white virgins even seen crying about this? Are they hypocrites?

by blacker than pitch I dont think they meant african I think they meant like a shadow version of a white elf.

Having something rather than nothing is mutt logic. Either respect the intellectual property or don't. I will continue fighting this until people understand. Elves are not asian or black or mutts or martians. The original definition of an Elf is "white being", and people ought to remember that.

>underground
That is an allegory perhaps. Did they actually dig holes in the ground? Then they wouldn't exactly be dark skinned...

Jesus was a kike and you're still a nigger.

I agree, my point was that
distinct phenotypes in humans exist for specific evolutionary reasons, so seeing the same phenotypes in a separate species is weird.

Yes. I agree. If Jesus wasn't white, don't make him white. So if Elves are white, don't make them asian. Cool, I'm glad we understand.
Define "shadow version". You can't just tan or gray scale an elf because your hipster anime art convinced you otherwise. Japanese degenerates do this all the time. They take white features and flip them black to appeal to certain people. The same sort of degenerates that like tan lines, etc.

>liking tan lines is for degenerates
Every time I think I’ve encountered the dumbest person ever, another /p*lyp opens their mouth or types. kek

Blizzard elves are an original type of elf. Blizzard is entirely in charge of what they look like.

Fetishistic tan lines and denying it as degenerate is foolish thinking.
Modern people don't understand the definition of the term "evolution" without becoming offended. Evolution doesn't mean superior or regression. Evolution means distinct from the rest.

I suppose people won't treat races as evolved beings until they can no longer be bred with. For example, if blacks had 4 less chromosomes but still functioned as humans, they would no longer be able to breed with people with 4 more chromosomes than them. That's the only way people can understand "evolution".

Evolution is a road. It has no end.

Blizzard elves are mass market commercialized abominations. I respect the original concept of elves from real world mythology.

Video games are no art. They are subversion, a perversion of reality. Warcraft 2016 is just that as well.

What kind of twisted logic would cause someone to think tan lines are degenerate? This is hilarious.

Video games include different types of art such as writing, acting, drawing, and 3D modeling. Many different artistic disciplines come together to create a video game.

Elves are an inherently scandinavian/germanic concept and like most cultures, probably reflect or resemble a certain type of demographic those cultures were familiar with.

The Ljósálfar of Alfheim are what fantasy elves are based on, and would likely be the pale and thin people living in the northern regions, with the Dökkálfar (Dark Elves) being the opposite, so either representing swarthy people in those regions or potentially referencing dark-skinned humans from the south in the Middle East or Africa. With "Dark Elves" its a bit weird since fantasy Dwarves are traditionally the main interpretation of what Dark Elves are, the modern fantasy idea of Dark Elves being an alternate interpretation.

So, if you wanted to be perfectly faithful, you would only cast Elves as the kind of ghoulish looking scandinavians that resemble pic attached, who live in regions so starved of sunlight they look almost albino.

Let me help you understand user.

Your little sister or wife gets a slight tan playing outside one afternoon. She has tan lines for a few weeks. No one thinks any different, and we all know it will fade with time.

Then there are perverts that go to tanning salons and wear their bikinis just right to get a tan that will turn NPC porn addicts like you on.
>"oh fuck I thought she was dark skinned. Look at that white soft flesh under her underwear. Oh fuck!"

You may not say this, but your mind thinks about it subconsciously. In other words, you're a degenerate. You don't even know what the word "fetish" means?

They had to do this so the chinese bug hordes liked the movie and went to see it. And it worked, cause they did, and China single handedly made bank for this movie.

IF they ever make a sequel, fully expect half the cast to be asian and to see at least 1 or 2 pandaren running around, too.

Video games are forgettable commodities. Myths last eons.
>So, if you wanted to be perfectly faithful, you would only cast Elves as the kind of ghoulish looking scandinavians that resemble pic attached, who live in regions so starved of sunlight they look almost albino.
I agree with this. However, these people are not albino, nor all they all this blonde. Some individual's hair becomes darker as they mature. You'll see this in most men. However, Elves are a Germanic myth, so they would not be all this blonde.
