wot are the other two of the three wow guilds that fetishize hitler? if the sindorei empire is one lmao
To Recap: Anon on WyrmrestAccord Secrets claimed that someone on MoonGuard-Horde declared themselves the Emperor of Silvermoon and used Nazi material in their RP and I reblogged with the comment of “well, that makes three RPers/Guilds trying to make Nazi Empires…”
The other two are from MoonGuard-Alliance: Kormed of and Stromheart’s alt Brynash of . With no second thoughts about the material they’re inspired by or using in their RP, both of them have raised Guilds with the intention of making a military superpower out of a Human Kingdom with the intention of making an empire like or greater than the ancient Empire of Arathor under King Thoradin.
In the case of Kormed, he and his Guildmembers imported weapons, technology and tactics from the Nazi German military to boost their claims of being a military superpower while also reciting Nazi propaganda in their RP. One recruiter by the name of Kavid/Slickmctavish was caught shouting “One people, one Alterac” in similarity to Adolf Hitler’s speeches about a “one Germany, one people, one world” and his mission to purify the world. They also referred to their Guild as the “undefeatable Reich” as Hitler said Germany was the “thousand-year/immortal Reich”, used the Sieg Heil to salute Kormed as Emperor in the same way the Nazis saluted Hitler, used Panzers and biochemical weapons in their RP, made German their official language, named their Guild ranks in German and looked down upon Humans from other Kingdoms, non-Human races and Hybrid races as “lesser”.
In the case of Stromheart, his Guild is just getting its start and made a shivtr Guild Forum Website (like enjin or guildlaunch). People he’s associated with in the past can attest to his racist and sexist statements, which makes his self-image of an educated and model RPer harder to maintain when he’s borrowing a similar theme. On his Guild site, he makes it clear that his Guild seeks to recreate the ancient Empire in Arathi with the slogan of “unite or perish” with regards to other Arathi RPers and/or Guilds; similarly, he states that the Order and restored Empire is for “pureblood Humans”—which just rings of prejudice towards non-Humans, mixed-race or non-Arathi Human RPers or whatever Arathi Humans don’t agree with him. To stand up against the Forsaken war-machine, he’d need a military like no other before it and I doubt he’d refrain from using the same Blitzkrieg Panzer tank tactics like Kormed and the Nazi Military or refuse to deploy biochemical weapons like the Forsaken or the Nazis.
Why this sort of theme (a modern, military empire based with an authoritarian leader dedicated to expansion and “purity”) has become a niche on the Moon Guard server is beyond me, but we also have antagonist Guilds employing the same attacks and ideals modern terrorists use (bombings, shootings, public/filmed beheadings, public condemnation of and threats toward world leaders and countries, religious extremism and zealotry in the name of faith, etc.) and that’s equally as disturbing a thing to be “inspired by” in roleplay…
