Possibly. However I'd say it's more because the only experience
ordinary, non-adventurous citizens, would have of demons or undead,
would be them invading their cities causing death and destruction
everywhere. A fairly logical reason to be terrified of them!

It's wellknown in game lore that warlocks are very much an underground
movement due to prejudices against demonic magic (check out their base
in SW; a hidden room deep below a shady inn, while in Org, Garrosh has
killed all the warlock trainers!), while you only need to see the
welcome a fresh DK gets upon first entering SW/Org to know that
they're not exactly popular either.

So really, I don't think it's anything to do with external influences,
just a response to how those classes are seen lorewise.
