back in the day, the og female tauren and trolls looked a lot more like what one would imagine... and the nerds rioted and cried how they can't jerk to it. i'm not even joking. so blizz desu-fied them and made them far far more feminine.
I am pretty sure that's not true and that you're just imagining things.
I also fail to see why femininity is a bad thing.

Tbh I think the updated graphics in WoW moreso '' Disney-fied '' all of the races, they actually look more cartoony to me than they used to.
I dunno wtf this has to do with '' straight dudes '' either this is just all so unnecessary and adds absolutely nothing at all to the conversation and is ultimately just a whole lot of assumptions about who wants what and why.

The males look like bulls, which is great - it suits a hero, an adventurer. But the design of the females leans too heavily into farmyard tropes for female cattle, and makes them look like docile barnyard creatures. It was hard to find an adequate transmog to make my Druid look fierce - so much so that I mostly stayed in kitty form.

Anyway, I guess I'm concerned SE is going to do to Hrothgar what Blizz did to Tauren. I'm worried we'll end up with catgirls and hirsute catgirls.
I played a female Tauren Shaman, I just liked their casting animations lol.
Imo I think their new models are okay but I do think their old ones looked quite derpy and a bit off.
I wished their horns were bigger especially.
