Topic for Discussion to move on up out of the gutter (to the east side):  Geth and Quarian Co-existence.

Will be rather easy I think.  I believe that getting Rannoch back is a panacea for pretty much everything.  No reason to hate the geth once peace is made.

I doubt that prejudice or hostile feelings will simply just fade away.

No, No. I said careful. Can be discussed, but kinda easy to get people incensed.

*Nods*  I can see where people would get heated over the issue.

I don't really have a problem with F!Shepard and Tali. The thing is, the discussion as displayed was giggling over the thought of lesbians, hardly an intellectual venture. That is not going to lend itself to intelligent discussion. I frequent this thread as well, and gutter talk pretty much never leads to anything meaningful. And it does annoy people, and not just me.

One of the reasons why the thread has improved is because people have raised issue about the contents. That is what I am doing right now.

Different people want different things out of the thread.  If people want to hang out in the gutter for a while, how does that bother me?  I can just as easily ignore it as I can anything else.  It doesn't stop other people from doing what they want, like discussing other things. 

Maybe I'm just the exception, because I can go from intellectual discussion mode, to picture spam/dat ass mode, to gutter mode and not mind any of them.  I just never found joy in trying to limit other peoples' fun.

You assume they have prejudiced feelings, I don't.  The geth are nothing but an obstacle to reclaiming their homeworld.  You could have the geth swap places with the asari tomorrow, and the quarians' feelings would flip as well.  They don't care that the geth killed 99% of their people, because they blame themselves for that.  They only want the geth dead because they believe that's the only option to getting back to a normal life. 

The quarians hate the heretic geth because they are bloodthirsty monsters out to kill everything.  The introduction of the true geth changes everything.  The true geth are their children.

OMG   thank you for saying what I wanted  for the longest time without  as much cussing.    The air of  haughtiness in  the Tali thread is starting  suck the fun out this place  

And now you are  not  exception .. I feel the same way.

It's just that most of the people on right now all have very contrasting opinions, and everyones abit touchy.

That, and Collider is fond of arguing for arguement's sake.

Actually. You know what? I'm out. Gonna go write... or something...

I know if I stay, it's just going to end badly.

'night, Talithread.

Keelah se'lai, Rip.

Have fun writing. . . or something. . .

It's pretty clear to see. Tali was prejudiced, too. So it appears that Han was.

The geth are nothing but an obstacle to reclaiming their homeworld.  You could have the geth swap places with the asari tomorrow, and the quarians' feelings would flip as well.  They don't care that the geth killed 99% of their people, because they blame themselves for that.

They blame themselves for making the Geth and trying to shut them down, but they know it was the Geth themselves who drove them away.

They only want the geth dead because they believe that's the only option to getting back to a normal life.

I agree, but I don't think that hatred or otherwise negative feeling would fadeaway when it had been brewing for three centuries. When their children had been taught to hate the Geth - or something of that form.  

The quarians hate the heretic geth because they are bloodthirsty monsters out to kill everything.  The introduction of the true geth changes everything.  The true geth are their children.

It's still the Geth.

Some people simply can not handle the power that comes with anonymity and an open forum.

Well then couldn't their children's children be taught to think differently?

I do see some of the prejudice fading away with generations. What I don't think is that everyone's dislike is going to disappear overnight. The Geth did not nearly exterminate their race.
