I am aware of what the Catalyst says in this ending, but it is not depicted having any kind of consequences. For whatever reason, Shepard\\\'s actions are not considered \\\"forcing\\\". Plenty of speculation can be made for why this is the case, but the epilogue does not give any sign of any kind of negative consequences.
What I\\\'m pursuing here is impartial editing, something that I have had trouble with myself with this game, and am now trying to fix. I can see why Synthesis is a result of Writer On Board, but claiming that the game implies that this ending has just as much negative consequences as any other negates this trope. Either the ending is presented as ideal compared to the others, in which case the presumed flaws are simply Fridge Logic on the tropers\\\' part, or the ending is implied to have flaws in the game itself, in which case such Fridge Logic has been taken into account, and it\\\'s not an ideal ending after all, negating the trope.
EDIT: I am not entirely happy with the new explanation either, since it implies that the fanbase is united in this opinion, which is not the case. I still consider it the simplest to explain that Synthesis is presented as being without any flaws by the game itself -- this makes it Writer On Board, and does not negate the fact that players can still see negative effects in it. Those should be left for Fridge Horror, or some more appropriate trope, however.
