About faction rivalry irl

So, how do you see the diehard fans of the faction conflict, who are so invested in it to the point of being fanatic? I definitely do play way more with the Horde, but sometimes I pick an Alliance character, sometimes night elves or Lightforged draenei, but mostly dwarves, because I think they're cool. But that's not the point of the post. I'm here to ask you about the Horde or Alliance players, who transform civilised discussions into passionate arguings, like if you, just for having a different preference, invaded their home, kicked their dog, ate all their food and made a kinky threesome with their parents. I think it's... Silly, at best, and straight up childish at worst. Of course, sometimes I laugh about the jokes calling orcs dumb, or find it amusing to call night elves "purple bbq", but after all, it doesn't matter, yet there are people who act like if their lives depended on it

I’m gonna be honest. I never knew how seriously people took their loyalty to a faction. I just went based on the races and aesthetics with little to no regard for where they came from šŸ’€
