I don't recall playing to that stereotype, though I've no doubt there is a slightly different demographic between people who choose the 'pretty/identifiable' races (of which alliance has more) and the Horde, whose appearance is more 'evil/unidentifiable'. Call it rubbish as much as you want, but Horde win more battlegrounds than Alliance do - the only exception to this has been AV which (until the recent changes which have pulled it closer to 50:50) Horde used to be able to play all day without a win, owing to blatant map imbalance. I have a Horde Priest and an Alliance Mage, both of whom go to BGs regularly, so it's not like I haven't seen both sides of the argument. A win outside of AV is a treat for my Mage, but my Priest goes into every BG expecting to win.

Rubbish!
There are 9 or so battlegroups, they are not all the same. Just because your battlegroup tends to win in hordes favour doesn't mean this is how it is for all battlegroups, you might as well go and say alliance ARE in 12yr olds if you belive that because you are generalising just like a lot of Horde players do.
I haven't rolled alliance but I can agree that the "alliance are 12yr old" rant is discussed on 9 out of 10 servers reguarly in general chat. Which couldn't be further from the truth. As someone else said, horde complain a lot, but so do alliance.
This all started with the NE / LotR BS back when WoW and those movies were popular.
"I have no experience of Alliance BGs, but I can say with some authority that...."
Until you've *really* experienced the horror of the average Alliance PUG BG, you can't offer too much of an opinion. My Alliance and Horde characters are in different battlegroups so I can at least offer anecdotal evidence that horde win heavily in 2 server clusters.
What?? there are websites with various stats from all sorts of people, I have played on multiple realms also. I have more experience than you I'm sure and with 3 or so yrs of playing the game on and off I belive I can offer a valid opinion.
If I have or not played alliance it doesn't mean I cant say alliance are good or bad, I have lost many games in BG. I have won many also. It varies from server to server and from battlegroup to battlegroup.
EDIT: Maybe on the EURO servers this is different but I highly doubt it.
