behavior , however , responds to some three decades of being a constant target of attacks from right-wing media and politicians in response to her lack of conformity to traditional female roles . Sylvanas , the ruler of the beleaguered Forsaken , also tends to be guarded , secretive , and operate “ in the shadows ”, unwilling to trust due to her history of trauma . This contrast between the cool , ironic self-possessed persona of Sylvanas and the brutal directness and violence of Garrosh parallels the respective ethos of Clinton and Trump seen in the 2016 U . S . Presidential debates .
In the 2010 Cataclysm expansion of WoW , Sylvanas summons Garrosh to Silverpine to inform him of how female undead val ’ kyr can ensure the racial future of the Forsaken . When Garrosh arrives , Sylvanas enthusiastically announces her discovery , a solution to the problem to which she has dedicated her unlife , the survival and freedom of the Forsaken . The following dialogue ensues in a cut scene ( short video embedded in the game ):
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner : I have solved the plight of the Forsaken ! As a race , we Forsaken are unable to procreate . With the aid of the val ’ kyr , we are now able to take the corpses of the fallen and create new Forsaken . ...
Garrosh Hellscream : What you have done here , Sylvanas ... it goes against the laws of nature . Disgusting is the only word I have to describe it .
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner : Warchief , without these new Forsaken my people would die out ... Our hold upon Gilneas and northern Lordaeron would crumble .
Garrosh Hellscream : Have you given any thought to what this means , Sylvanas ? What difference is there between you and the Lich King now ?
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner : Isn ’ t it obvious , Warchief ? I serve the Horde .
Garrosh Hellscream : Watch your clever mouth , bitch . [ threatens her with ax ]
The first interesting feature of the dialogue is that Sylvanas is arguing about policy , making rationale arguments for ( 1 ) the val ’ kyrs as a solution to the problem of the racial survival of her people and ( 2 ) the strategic necessity of enhancing the numbers of the Forsaken in terms of its tactical utility to the Horde faction . Garrosh rejects her rational argument in emotional terms , responding with “ disgust ”, calling her a “ bitch ”, and threatening her with his ax , exemplifying the “ scorn and hatred ” that Weaver describes as lying
