I have never seen such a clear textbook case of being over-dramatic as what you've just said.

"Sure, you can say it was garrosh being garrosh towards sylvanas. Or you can say it was blizzard choosing a word and saying, "hey man, it's no big deal to drop this in there." "

So let's say you're watching a movie set in 1930's Mississippi. One of the characters is a member of the KKK, and he uses a derogatory term when referring to a black man. Do you consider the writer of that movie to be a racist because he chose to let that character say that?
