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"
tbf the cerberus plotline in ME2 does raise some very important questions such as "why did you think this was okay to write, like morally?" and "what about the 'white supremacist'-coded group did you think really deserved critical support"
always thought it was funny shepard has the sole survivor profile by default and the way they resolve this pretty obvious and deep tension is by just ignoring it and hoping, nay, praying you don't notice it lmfao
