I've noticed a bit of a trend here on BSN: Whenever Thessia or the asari are mentioned, talks of poetic justice or apathy toward their plight is expressed. 

I just what to know, why do people hate the asari?



(For the record, I have nothing against them, but the Fall of Thessia laid the irony on so thick, you could cut it with a knife; A species whose superiorty is due to a beacon they illegally hoarded to themselves are overpowered by a more advanced foe beacuse their superiorty made them a target. Add to this their aloofness coming to bite them in the ass, and you've got a irony sandwich that'd make Shakespeare proud)

People dislike Thessia more because the mission lacks the quality of Tuchanka + Ranoch. Also Kai leng

Quick Edit: Another issue people have is Shep's forced emotional reaction to the fall of Thessia. He gets very angry and depressed regardless of how the player feels, which generally matches up.

Because they are BLUE! no, seriously I don't know... I don't hate them.

I don't hate Asari .. Not sure why some people may.

While I agree about the Thessia mission; it's definitely more than that. I've also noticed a rise in anti Asari sentiment. I simply ignore it

The reapers might have been defeated without the Crucible if the Asari shared that beacon with the rest of the galaxy as soon as they found it.

The Palaven moon mission was similarly bland but it doesn't nearly as much hate.

They're so ageless and superior.

I would argue that's because its still early in the game before the quality missions come and you also get Garrus. But I agree that it is just as bad if not worse than Thessia.

They're greedy, arrogant, hypocritical, narrow-minded, etc.

Hate might be a strong word, but there is a strong undercurrent of irritation towards the asari gov't. I was mad when my Shepard was all 'omg so sorry' when I, personally, wanted to reach across time and space and slap the s--t out of the counselor for sitting on this information and acting like it was my damn fault when her decisions helped lead to Thessia's downfall.

I harbour no personal dislike towards any race in the game, but I have problem with wanting to kick certain politicians's teeth in.

That about covers it for me too.

I have no problems with the Asari. However, I think that beat of plot was handled in such a way as to leave us apathetic. I mean, the Asari Councilor pretty much told Shep to "duck a sick," as it were. Furthermore, they are the most advanced race, so despite the loss of a homeworld, they aren't exactly struggling to keep the species alive.

For that matter, EVERY coucil race has lost their homeworld, except for the Salarians. Palaven is gone, Earth is all but gone. Though not council, Karshan is COMPLETELY destroyed.  The Hanar and Elcor are retreating, what are the Volus even doing?  Rannock is basically virgin territory, and Tuchanka and a wasteland, even if it IS regained.

I suppose it's not hatred for the Asari so much as shellshock for EVERYONE pretty much having no homeworld. Also, the Salarians aren't doing themselves any favors in sympathy, what with all the slave-mongering and genetic manipulation not seen since the Protheans...

i like the asari the most of the alien species in ME

disliked thessia though, was looking forward to it all game but then it turns out to be a pretty bland mission with a cheap boss and you dont even realy get to see much of the surroundings

[Baa Baa]

I didn't know such a thing was possible!

[Dendio1]

I want to see thessia when its not under siege. I love the asari

Yeah, but it led to better things. People would dislike it if it had been on Palaven itself and that was ALL we saw of Palaven. As is, we're just made that we didn't see Palaven at all except from the moon.

Some people seriously need to relax.

Anyways, the Thessia mission was amazing, a little short and with too much focus on that temple, but overall, it had fantastic action, and the entire sense of dread permeating throughout the whole level is really good.

Why would people hate this mission ? Or Kai Leng ? Or the asari ?

Whining.

[MisterJB]

Also, everytime I hear Liara complain about figthing Banshees, I feel like screaming:
"Asari, what do you think that those Husks we have been killing since day 1 used to be!?"

I know:o! You  could play the most duplicious and cold hearted renegade, but Shep still acts all broken up when he should be chokin' a b*tch!

Government?  Speaking only for myself, but it's the larger asari culture that grates on me.

At least asari get turned into something cool; humans get turned into cannon fodder, asari get turned into lighting bruisers.

Oh me too!  It was like the war wasn't real to her until bad things started happening to asari.
