I always go with the classic "Barkspawn". Those Penny Arcade guys have just ridiculous amounts of wit.

It's always a pleasure to read you. I like your style and the way you think even if I sometimes disagree with you...
Anyways, I find your agumentation very coherent and will not argue with you on this point. You're absolutely right, the Prothean way to rule the Galaxy was nothing but disgusting and made them deserve somehow what the Reapers did to them. They've finally found something that is stronger than them and follows the same logic... Irony of fate..
That's always the problem with totalitarian systems, they brainwash everyone, first of all their own people and don't let them question any further... "arrogance/confidence is born of ignorance" ...
What Javik's saying/thinking about the other races made me at first want to shoot him between his "four eyes". But I tried to understand why he's such a "****" a**hole...
He's born without the possibility to compare by himself and he was a soldier, not a scientist. He knew no other "normality" than that what he was told, teached and genuinely believed it. To us it seems scandalous because we're grown in another time with other rules and have learned eventually that there's always another way... His thought about the AI were conditioned by the fact that there was no peaceful solution to the conflict with the synthetic race of their time (don't remember what was the name) and the war with the Reapers (which are also part organics, if I'm not wrong) They didn't have a Shepard 
Furthermore a short journey like ME3 is way not enough to get over a brainwash. To me, there were signs of a positive evolution. Only time will teach us, if he eventually stopped to be an arrogant fascist.. If not I'll personally shop his head off 
If you're judging and condemning the Prothean system, I'm with you. Not if you're only considering one Prothean.
Thanks, right back atcha.

I'm not sure they did have a totalitarian government actually. Though the fact they'll execute you for playing a game of cards doesn't bode well for them, of course. Anyway, actually it's the opposite. I'm not going to judge the entire Prothean civilization over one person. He could be passing off his own idiocy as his entire race's. If an <insert color here> supremacist was the only human left alive, do you think they'd be honest and say the rest of their species thought they were a raving lunatic? Or perhaps he was raised
by raving lunatic. Or Prothean society only became one of raving lunacy after the Reaper invasion. There's any number of reasons. But I can judge him alone on his actions. And I do. I seriously doubt there's any de-fascisting him. It's a written work, so if we're not presented with an option then for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist. While the ME series is likely to continue, it's highly unlikely we'll see much more of Javik. And really, since we don't even get any dialogue options to try and reason with him that he's just plain wrong and his society was just plain wrong, I can't imagine it is or ever was on the writer's table.

Nah, I don't think so. The reapers have been in existence for at LEAST 37 million years, and I don't see how a plant could have lived that long.
Actually, at least a billion. Yeah, I know, right? But that's what the Leviathan of Dis was dated at by the salarians before the batarians stole it. And in ME3 we finally got confirmation that the Leviathan of Dis was in fact a dead Reaper.
Yeah, I may have overreacted there, but I really could use some good news today, since I just found out that my brother was hit by a car today and that he's in the hospital right now.
Wow. Condolences. Hope everything's okay.

This is what happens in gaming nowadays, a company possibly tries something new that's never been done before and they get crapped all over for it.
Honestly, even if IT isn't true, the way the fanbase has been acting towards BioWare is disgusting. It's free DLC we're getting and people are still crying foul to BioWare and treating the devs and such like pure trash.
It's one thing to not be happy, fine, show that by not supporting the products anymore, but don't trash the devs because that makes us ALL look bad.
I agree 100%.
