I don't like the Batarians for the same reason that many others in this thread don't like them; they have shown no redeeming features at all. Every single Batarian we have met has hated humans with a passion, most of the time with no reason. In the face of that, its hard to imagine that there are any good Batarians anywhere in the galaxy.

Maybe miscommunication on the part of both species' representatives, but hey most batarians are already husks as seen in the demo due to their chosen isolation.  I will let them all die.

They started it. Plus their faces look like dirty scrotums.

i hate batarians because they choose to be what they are and justify it as a desireable quality.

[AtreiyaN7]

Let's see:

• The batarians in BDTS: terrorists.
• The batarians in ME2 on that N7 missions (think it was to save the colony from the nukes?): also terrorists.
• Significant Batarian #1 on Omega: a bigoted lunatic preacher (per what a friend mentioned: yes, he's totally right about the end being nigh  ).
• Significant Batarian #2 on Omega: a bigoted bartender who tries to kill you.
• Other Batarians on Omega: I guess that ONE merc wasn't a bad guy (still shanked him with that wrench) and maybe the bodyguard (?). Also, the fellow on Mordin's recruitment mission turned out to be a decent guy who admitted that humans aren't all evil bastards.
• Batarians in The Arrival: evil bastards (the ones guarding the doctor).

Assorted other batarians we've seen seem to be evil mercs, slavers and/or jerks as far as I can tell. It seems that the majority of Batarians that we run into appear to be, well, not very nice. I realize that it's probably not representative of the whole race, but they haven't made the best of impressions. Also, my recollections from the Cerberus Network news is kind of hazy, but I could have sworn they were doing one or two sort of sneaky things (wasn't there something about them using space mirrors? Hmm, probably wrong - eh). I don't hate Batarians, but I would trust one about as far as I can throw one.

Because they're dirty Batarians. But then again they could be Vorcha...

[Homebound]

Ya, they were using space mirrors to blot out the sun on a planet and as a space laser. They said it was for agricultural use.

[Rake21]

Let's take a look at most of the Batarians you meet:
Blue Suns Mercs perfectly ok with killing innocents
Pirates
Slavers
Terrorists
and blatant racists.

I don't think we'vemet one who constituted as a nice person.

Vorcha > Batarians.

At least they can use a litterbox.

[Icinix]

What I love though is I've seen some common forum names declare their hate at Ashley because shes Racist - Then in another forum say some pretty amazing hateful and racist things about Batarians.

Double standards on the Internet...who knew?

Yeah but what if they go and break the fans? D:

[dkm945]

"Goddamn terrorists, I say."
But, there is the one dude in Omega's quarantine zone that realizes humans aren't all bad. I guess he's okay, after you help him.

It worked with Legion.

Yeah, sort of like in the One Piece Manga the writer wanted to have a good Fishman in the very first chapter but the editor or something said no, so by the story arc where the Fishmen first show up they are mega aholes who hate humans, make them pay for their lives, made an 8 year girl a slave and killed her mom right in front of her eyes. Not the best way to introduce the race to the fans. It took years for any cool good Fishmen to show up so people hated them for years and some still do, wished that the writer could of had a cool one in the first chapter.

So I want some cool Batarians now damn it!

I have no issue with the race as a whole and find it ridiculous people genuinely believe the entire species deserves to be wiped out.

However, on the flip side I have an absolute hatred for hip-hop artists, Twilight fans and Wii gamers.

[Whatever42]

Dunno if a single good Batarian would change opinions. Legion is not only awesome but the Geth are clearly in two camps.

A good Batarian would not be nearly as cool because Batarians are pretty creepy in general and the unlike the Geth, the vast majority of Batarian society is not only evil but in current conflict with the rest of galaxy.

It would be nice if a bit more depth were added to the Batarians but I don't think a single good Batarian would sway me.

[Monochrome Wench]

Its possible the events leading up to and in ME3 will cause massive changes for the Batarians. If the Reapers went through Batarian space and destroyed the Batarians military capability its possible that the civilians could rise up against the severly weakened government.

True. Also a cool batarian character would be interesting to see just because.

Because Bioware wants us to hate them.

Most people loath thinking for themselves.

Generalising is so much easier.

You're right. Considering Bioware also makes an effort to remind everybody that not ALL batarians are bad people, most fans think they are anyway. It's not that they don't like thinking for themselves, it's that they're just stupid.

I suspect that it's more often a case of lazyness than stupidity though.

Yeah I figured you'd think that way about Btarians, Twilight fans and I can sort of get Wii gamers but to hate Hip-hop artists that's way to far man draw a line!

batarian culture and economy is based largely upon slavery.
they hate humanity for settling in patches of space that were as of yet unclaimed
their government funds terrorists
maybe there's a couple of nice ones out there, but so far all we know is that for the most part, batarians suck.
kill them all and let the Flying Spaghetti Monster sort them out.
