it's so fashy

I've played these games so much so I have no illusions that they are mostly insane liberal propaganda but this always stood out as particularly vile

I occasionally look up the like full dialogue trees of conversations on youtube and anything remotely involving Batarians have like 75% just straight up fascist comments (like literally you see slightly modified quotes of actual fascists)

idk just kinda disheartening to see so many ppl just go fully along with it and have basically nobody be like "hey maybe don't"

    Uhhh but have you considered the Batarians are the Bad Race? They're all warlike and militaristic and hate Democracy

      Unlike the Turians, who are valorously militant, thoroughly disciplined, and love hierarchy.

        Yeah, but they go about it in a exotic but civilised Japanese way (it's even mentioned in the codex that some Turians have begun practicing Zen Buddhism, lol)

        The Batarians are just a stand-in for Russians/Soviets/Arabs
