[up][up][up] What I don't get is why some people are sympathetic to Geth. They aren't people. They don't have any more feelings or rights than toasters.

I wish we saw footage of those innocent quarian civilians who loved the geth and got shot in the face anyway for their troubles.

Of course that doesn't matter either way for me, since I'm not doing the Geth Consensus mission this playthrough.

[up] Strange how the Geth somehow were completely innocent of any wrong-doing, yet billions of Quarians, including children, died in the war.

Clearly they were all murdered by those evil Complete Monster Quarians that wanted to shut down the Geth. Because the Geth would never do anything wrong.

Remember, in life there are many shades of grey. Except in the case of the rights of synthetic life forms. Either you join the fight in support of them or you are a complete monster and deserve extermination.

[up]If you're a young child who is not even mature enough to pick a side, let alone fight, you are especially deserving of extermination.

[up][up][up] Even if you do join the fight in support of them, you will be mercilessly shot, with the enemy leaving your people on the verge of death every day as the final insult. But you can die with the moral high ground, and if you're lucky they might even retain the footage of you getting shot forever.

[up] Fifty Shades Of Grey did give us the Gilbert Gottfried dramatic reading. So it wasn't a completely negative effect on society.

Notwithstanding Bio Ware's attempts at making the geth come across as complete innocents who've never done anything wrong, I do like the geth. Had the writers depicted the conflict between the geth and the quarians as a little more morally ambiguous - showing the geth as being guilty of travesties, as well - it would actually be tough to choose between the two sides.

Sadly, the writers decided to just toss subtlety under a bus in that arc, so saving the quarians becomes much easier. And they made it way too easy to save both, anyway.

Still, I have no problem with artificial life, and see no reason why it should be destroyed if it can be avoided.

[up] Moral ambiguity is impossible when one side is made up of people and the other is made up of highly advanced flashlights. grin

They shouldn't have allowed peace with both, though.

Some conflict are black and white every now and then. And honestly, for all the talk of the Geth wiping out the Quarians, we never actually see any evidence of them doing it. It would not surprise me if the Quarians got themselves wiped out though their own stupidity. Getting their own people killed seems to be the speciality of Quarian leaders.

[up]Because a planet's worth of people got reduced to a mere flotilla in a short period of time without the geth doing anything...

Right...

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

Oh Dragon, don't you know? The geth never killed anyone. They only shot to wound. All the quarians who died were either killed by the police, committed suicide, accidentally set off nukes, or were mothers smothering their babies as the geth came to their cities, not knowing that the geth wouldn't kill anyone.

Oh, and all that stuff you heard about the geth killing anyone who comes near their territory isn't true. And they never let a horde of genocidal 'heretics' go without doing anything or even warning the galaxy. And they certainly didn't go from colony to colony even after it was clear the quarians lost, slaughtering the civilians there with such savagery that the quarians actually name weapons after the site of the massacres.

Nope.

Haven't we had this discussion enough times? Have we not established that no one will change their opinions on it ever?

@Millard: I prefer the Chaotic Monki dramatic reading. When you're used to having a voice read scary stories, it's freaking surreal hearing it talk about riding crops.
