I hate that in 99% of tutorials to RP races, it’s always about sticking to their stereotypes and culture and You Can’t Have It Any Other Way. Like. Lemme explain

It’s always like for example “Tauren are peaceful, really strong big cuddly plushies unless you piss them off”. So then people only register Tauren = most peaceful race of the Horde. But while it’s true, it still means you can have a murderous Tauren. One that disrespect nature and want to cook the Alliance eveyday. Anything. It’s not wrong in the lore. There are vilains Tauren canonly too anyway.

Just take real life stereotypes of your culture / country and see if they ALL apply to you. Chances are, maybe you have a few, but definitely not all of them. Well it’s the same thing with WoW races.

Greedy goblins are a thing, but so are selfless goblins. You can have all kind of undead.

Pandaren aren’t all travelers, tea & stories, hospitality winners, there’s also the bad it very ones. Like you know that grandma pandaren that turned people and animals into Jade ? YeAh.

Any race can be anything. Please don’t listen and have FUN creating your chars, you let people put limits where there’s none.
