But the Asari don't just mix races/species, etc... They take a DNA imprint from their partner to mix with their offsprings genetic code...the offspring isn't a mixed child, they are all 100% Asari.
Yes but wan can we do against that ? Nothing. Like many other things. Billions chinese, billions indians, billions people, despite the earth is threatened by overcrowding in a close future.
And that's not a genocide, they don't kill anyone, they feed their race, that's it. Humans aren't forced to be with them.
Re-post of my orginal points in regards to Asari:
"Asari:
1.) Encouraged to breed with those outside their own species...pure blood stigma.
2.) Attractive to all other species.
3.) Long life span...how many partners would one Asari have in a life time?
4.) Seem to already have the most substantial population...most of which look outside their species for partners.
5.) Breeding with Asari can only produce Asari.
Taking these points into account, I'm thinking they may eventually out breed every other species out there."
The Asari are not an immediate threat to all other species, but given the list above, in time they will become quite a threat...remember as more Asari are born, the more Asari will be looking outside their own species for partnering up and who knows how many partners that would include over an Asari's life time.
As for what to do about it....I haven't touched on that subject myself for a reason "Hot Topic"....I was merely putting forward observations in regards to Species threats.
I agree with all what you said. The report is good lol. Fair enough. That said, I think you overestimate their process. For me, it's rather more a weakness, related to the customs of their society, of course.
Because they live a long time, they wait precisely a long time on the contrary of humans always in hurry with their short life expectancy.
Asari wait more than 150 years before they decide to have children. I don't remember when they become Matriarch, but it's a long long time. Before they are only ladies. This is an extremely long time. For each birth of assimilation of other species, there would be much more with them during this time. For humans, I think you know already, it is very fast lol. We can't even decide sometimes." Whoops, honey, I'm pregnant. All right. "
I even think that the Asari are not very numerous, as their armies. Because this system is so a lengthy process. The fastest system is still producing eggs as salarians or Rachni in my opinions.
Also they are not only with humans and if they want as well ( because you need to fall in love and asari always choose carefully before to unit with someone, it could take many many years ) , but other races, which diversifies
their supplies.
For an asari baby assimilated, how many humans children born ?
It's interesting your views, because I always thought that the Asari was the people who had the least chance of having a large population and its assimilation was a way to deal with its genetic weakness.
I'm surprised it took until page 5 for someone to make this point. A shame it was almost completely ignored, except by Golden Owl who replied with "think
very long-term".
I don't see how that's a counterpoint. The math is simple: 1 human generation = approx 20 years. 1 asari generation = approx 150 years. 150/20 = 7.5, so the Asari would need to have at least 7.5 times the number of children
per generation than humans. (* see edit)
Some other points I want to make:
1) If the asari take other species literally to extinction (or even close) then they'll have nothing left to mate with but other Asari.
2) Nobody seems to have mentioned that the only reason the Salarians aren't out-breeding everyone like crazy is because they've chosen not to. If the Asari ever started become a threat to the Salarian race then the Salarians could just undo their genetic mod that makes them nearly all male (IIRC) and suddenly that 7.5 target the Asari faced for beating humans would look ridiculously small.
3) My sister had her first child recently, a boy. My own first child (also a son) will arrive in February (touch wood). You might say these things have started to give me some perspective that makes the asari domination of humans through reproduction seem incredibly unlikely, even if you ignore the math. I can totally see the attraction of jumping into bed with an Asari, but I can't really see how a human would rather raise alien children than human ones. Of course you could say that I'm thinking of the game in terms that are too literal, but if the alien races are metaphors (which I personally think they are) then the analogy made by some poster earlier in the thread (roughly that humans = white people and asari = brown people) does actually hold water after all.
Edit:
* Actually more than that when you factor in that the growth is exponential...
