Interesting. Link to a vid or post from a dev where something along those lines is stated please? If you don't have one, I'll just file this statement in my "BS"-Folder.[/quote]
Oh for god's sake. It's what the Bratalyst says.
[quote]Indeed. And I wasn't only talking about an overlord, so again, read carefully.[/quote]
And yet again, this is irrelevant. Want to keep going?
[quote]Yes, you did, in a snide and condescending manner you told me to "look up the definiton of collective mind".[/quote]
You call that an insult? Are you new to internet debating?
[quote]Quote where I was yelling and forcing you to swallow my oh so great synthesis. Didn't find that, and I don't recollect ever writing something like that. I was mereley defending synthesis against seemingly biased conspiracy theories with little to no supporting evidence. And of course against your strawmans. For example:[/quote]
And yet you ranting about conspiracy theories and bias over and over is not at all hostile, I take it?
[quote]Now tell me if that isn't a "distorted or simplified caricature of your opponent's argument", i.e. Strawman?[/quote]
That was an exagerration of a point I was making, not an argument.
[quote]Wow. Way to contribute to the discussion, you didn't even try to argue with my point that Synthesis is perceived as generally a good thing, as far as we know, considering the little evidence we have fromo the epilouge. You're cherry picking "evidence" that supports your idea while ignoring contracting evidence. That's confirmation bias.[/quote]
Because IT WOULD NOT BE. If you deny this, then you refuse to understand human nature.
The public at large would NOT be all flowers and happiness after having this imposed on them and having the killing machines that murdered and mutilated their loved ones just prancing around with nary a care.
[quote]You're claiming that something is true based on "human nature"? That is in no way a valid argument, even you have to see that. I could as well argue that "human nature" backs me up, and then what? This get's us nowhere.[/quote]
Being obtuse will get us nowhere.
[quote]Again, human nature, it applies to me as well doesn't it? That's no evidence nor does it give you credibility. Or, maybe I'm not a human because I don't share your beliefs? See where I'm going here?
And again, that's your biased view on the ending, sappy, happy, wholesome sinister. You put no evidence on the table this time as well.
When do I stop seeing your personal hate and repulsion for the Synthesis in particular and start seeing proof, reference material ect. to support your claim that the ending is "evil" and should be acknowleged as such by everybody even the developers?[/quote]
I am tired of you yelling at me for proof while providing none of your own. Kindly do so, or stop acting so hostile and hurt because I'm poking holes in something you like.
If you're saying that you'd be totally okay with being altered without your consent. Well, how nice for you. However, the majority of people, including me, would not be.
[quote]How would you know what Javik would and would not do after he was altered by Synthesis? And where else would he be? In the jungle, building a Reaper because he's indoctrinated of course? I don't know where these wild claims come from tbh.[/quote]
Are you going to tell me with a straight face that he'd be okay with this?
[quote]But maybe he's paying his respects to Shepard? It is, after all, still a memorial and Javik was always pretty hard to judge regarding his emotions, one could argue that he was "unmoved" a lot of the time, or so it seemed.[/quote]
Why would he pay his respects to the person most likely responsible for violating his body?
[quote]And no, I don't like what you have to say. But that's beside the point here.
It's about you and others trying to enforce your claims with biased speculation that Synthesis is "bad and "evil" whereas you yourself have no arguments whatsoever, only your resentment and hate against Synthesis and everybody who trys to defend it, so it seems. Which makes seem you completely biased.
And I didn't start insulting, don't try to push that on to me.

Synthesis is a violation of all beings in the galaxy. This part is fact. Their reactions and the general tone of it is unsettling. It is the primary vision of the Reapers. Their ultimate agenda, and their biggest victory.
It is an act of pure evil, and I will say so. Your hostility proves that you have nothing to defend it with other than indignation.
