So you are saying that the Godchild, the centrepiece of the ending and the reason everyone has claimed as the biggest plothole is nothing but a lying bastard meaning that-no matter what you choose or when-that you still all get raped by Reapers, you know because he's a lying a bastard meaning that the ending is EVEN LESS MEANINGFUL AND A GIANT MIDDLE FINGER TO THE FANBASE AND A SPIT IN THE FACE OF MASS EFFECT?
Whoa now, calm down there champ, use your inside voice.
There is no evidence that supports the assumption that the child controls every reaper everywhere however there is evidence that he does not.
1. The Illusive Man proves during the course of the storyline that Reapers can be controlled on a large scale. This is supported by the fact that once the Reapers became aware of this plan (and how successful it had been thus far) they tried to shut it down immediately by assaulting Sanctuary. Assaulting sanctuary would have been pointless if Cerberus' plan would not work... and in fact their plan does work if you select that ending.
2. The reapers have many of the same flaws the Geth do though the reaper flaws are much harder to exploit given their advanced technology, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Perhaps the Geth find a way to utilize the information they have as a result of their intimate association with the reapers to turn the tables and control a small number of reapers the way they once were controlled... or the alliance pool their resources and assault a reaper digitally utilizing geth knowledge and hardware, attack VI's or black ops AI's, and any number of other options to overwhelm a reaper into submission.
3. Last but not least, the reapers are described as being sentient. By definition that means they are capable of independent thougth and action. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that a splinter faction of reapers exist that have a different agenda.
Lastly, it doesn't really matter if the child is a liar or not, Shepard isn't an idiot... unfortunately what he did in the endings was incredibly stupid... I mean seriously, you choose one of three choices based wholly on the information provided by a being that has murdered trillions upon trillions of beings and anticipates doing the same to humanity and everyone else? That would be like Shepard fighting his way to Saren in the first game. handing him his best gun, and asking Saren to watch his back for a couple hours while he took a nap.
Here's a paraphrase of the final choices...
"Congratulations on making it this far Commander Shepard. You now have an important choice to make. Please press J1 if you would like to be disintigrated by a giant laser and attempt to control the reapers. Please press B2 if you would like to be disintigrated by a giant laser merge all biological life with synthetic life. Please press Z3 if you would like to destroy many of your friends and allies and commit genocide against entire races of innocent beings. Oh, and the reapers will die too."
My Shepard would have never agreed to any outcome that he or she could not hold the child accountable for.

Do you guys puposefully try and downgrade games until you hate them to this degree? Or are you guys just THAT DAMN STUPID?
What are you talking about? I don't hate ME3, I hate the ending and I hate it when people try to claim something cannot happen because it would contradict the lore when nothing could be further from the truth.
