Nice of the “fair and evenhanded” article to make it clear that both factions (who usually spend great time and energy warring with each other) unite to take down Garrosh, the CLEAR and UNCONTESTED villain of the expansion, and he’s thoroughly loathed both in-universe and out.
Thankfully FR isn’t jumping straight to “lock up all the gamers”.
This never would have happened if Thrall was still in charge :(
A tentative thought out there, though, has to sort of conflate this example of very bad behavior with what had been dramatized in the “Warcraft” video game.
Maybe the imagery from the video game is not what sent him screaming over the edge. But it did little to rescue his state of mind.
Images everywhere in Hollywood scripts may have also contributed their little bit. Still, a psyche so unsteady as to attach to and magnify the significance of these casual associations marked him as a flawed human being. There was a much deeper failure to adopt civilized behavior. It may have been environmental, it may have been a genetic predisposition, or it may have been simply an inability to forge social bonds with peers.
Whatever the basis, it had little to do with a sidearm, knives, or a BMW, all legal products, but badly misused.
