The World of Warcraft has probably more than any other MMORPG that I can recall played heavily into the concept of ‘Faction Pride’ that whether you chose Alliance or Horde says something about you and indeed is something other players will judge you for. So what is it then? Well, at the risk of sounding like a senior who votes straight conservative on every election: That’s their team. My point being that the lives lost being ‘fictional’ isn’t an excuse to hand waive being okay with genocide. Others were downright thirsty for the guy and that also raised a lot of questions. Some people didn’t have an issue with that. A lot of people were not comfortable with that. Namely about how a character who wants to commit genocide gets painted fairly sympathetically in the end. When a character in Final Fantasy XIV’s latest expansion, Shadowbringers, stated that he viewed our characters, our NPC allies, and every other sentient person in the world as “Sub-human” and thus paid their potential deaths as no concern as an obstacle to his grand plan – there was some serious talk going down in the Final Fantasy fandom about this. But lets not kid ourselves into thinking just because the deaths were not real that we have card blanche to not care. Why did players back Sylvanas committing genocide? And by genocide, I mean the death of other fictional beings. Okay? So let’s move on to the more interesting question. The Horde follows Sylvanas, the Alliance supports their High King now, and Superman didn’t have to kill anyone. They and the situations they find themselves in are manufactured.
If they need a reason to stay, the writers will concoct one.

They’ll do whatever the writers want and there isn’t much of free will. Why? Well because ultimately when it comes down to it the answer for the NPCs is pretty obvious: they don’t get a choice. I’m going to focus my talk today on just the player base and not the in-universe npcs and characters. You can read everything Kaling and Novak have said about their relationship here, and watch Novak's speech below.A little while ago on Twitter I saw someone ask the question, “After the Burning of Teldrassil, how could anyone follow Sylvanas?” The idea being that since Warchief Windrunner eagerly committed genocide on twenty-three-thousand Night Elves – men, women and children – how could anyone continue to follow a person like that? It’s a question that actually gave me some thought. Over 15 years later, Novak and Kaling remain incredibly close to one another. He said the rest of "The Office" writers room eventually noticed their relationship dynamics in real life (which Novak says was a "tumultuous, romantic, toxic, boundary-less mess"), and decided to pair the fictional characters of Kelly and Ryan together. "We were in love with each other, and we were reckless idiots, and the two of us would argue about all of these things forever grinding the writers room into a halt until we got too upset and we go to our respective offices and slammed the door where we would continue arguing over AOL and Instant Messenger," Novak said. In a nearly eight-minute-long speech, Novak praised Kaling's incredible writing talents and her enthusiasm for cultural debates. Novak presented Kaling with the Norman Lear achievement award in television, tracing their friendship back to the first seasons of "The Office." Novak to his adored former "The Office" colleague, ex-girlfriend, and current best friend Mindy Kaling. On Sunday night, the Producers Guild of America awards included a personal tribute from B.J. Novak gave a speech where he reflected on their time on "The Office" together and being in love.
