Quick question.

Do you think slavery and racism is awesome?


Still ugly. Still a**holes on the whole.

Submission net is still pretty slavery oriented. They killed Shepard's family when he was young, too.

...but on the other hand, FALCON PUNCH!!!


Not only that, but the Vanguard/Adept has/will have Lash; as in, for whipping slaves? That's how I always interpreted it, at least. I definitely don't hate batarians in general, but I consider even the MP characters pretty shady.

throughout  human history slavery has been acceptable for longer than it was outlawed.
so does that make all humans including you a racist slaver?

 also i should add that slavery still exist today in the real world, so does piracy, and everything else.

Their hegemony supports slavery. Any batarian that supports the hegemony is a a piece of **** in my book.

I do like Ando however. He doesn't seem to have any loyalty to the hegemony being on Omega with Aria back in the day and all.

My Batarian doesn't support the Hegemony because he's a Kickin' Rad rebellious anti-hero and I won't hear it any other way. His name is Mr. Chips. He's not the hero Kar'shan needs, he's the hero it deserves.

Oh please, racism is practically universal in the human race, we hate ourselves...imagine how magnified that hatred would be if we ever became a spacefaring race and joined a galactic community.

batarians are no different, they accept slavery and racism because those ideas are heavily ingrained into their culture and society and they can't imagine a society without it, there are probably batarians(akin to abolitionists in America) working to reform their government.

The greeks, romans, persians, muslims, byzantine empires all practiced slavery on massive scales, and they're generally considered to be the most advanced civilizations of their time.

Did he by chance fight a large (like way larger than the average krogan) masked krogan and have his back broken at some point?

No one said anything about them being advanced. I was looking at it from a moral standpoint.

Why? Why are they a piece of sh_t? because they support a government that's legalized slavery and encourages racism? The batarians are an isolationist people, they've never been exposed to anything other than their own cultures, the ones that leave batarian space become slavers, pirates, mercenaries. If a man has been conditioned to accept racism and slavery the man isn't inherently evil, neither is the government, they don't know any other society other than their own.

I imagine a batarian would stick a "piece" up your *** and pull the trigger until it goes *CLICK*.

He keeps trying to melee gold brutes to death and sometimes gets sync-killed. Does that count?

Sure, morally it's wrong. The batarians just progress a lot slower socially.

Um yes. Because it is of my opinion that supporting racism and slavery is morally wrong and in no way beneficial to anyone(other than the piece of s*** slavers). The batarian hegemony is only isolationist because they were pushed back to their homeworld for being overbearing a**hats that started a proxy war because the humans were "encroaching on their land" that they hadn't made any official claims to. Not being exposed to any culture but their own? They had an embassy on the citadel for like 2000 years and still ran around acting like they owned the galaxy.

If Turians are something like the ancient Romans or Spartans,Batarians are like the Aztecs,bloodthirsty warriors and slavers.
I still don´t like them,but also don´t hate them,like I used to.
Edit.
If I remember correctly from history class, Romans had slaves also,but they  appreciated culture and art.

Perhaps with the hegemony gone they will be abit more... mellow. Though i have my doubts If they can even survive as a race post reapers.

I can see the Batarians mellowing out. ME3 seems to do a lot to change civilizations on large scales, even though the hegemony got whacked in ME2.

Incorrect, the batarians were already settling in the Skyillian Verge, they were the first to do so, the humans colonizing planets in the Skyillian Verge(batarian territory) is an act of war, the Citadel council refused to back the batarian claim because they played favorites, the council knew the humans were a stronger military power, that's all there is to it. As for slavery and racism being morally wrong, I agree completely, but from a batarian's viewpoint it's not, it's part of their society.

Not really hard to understand, tbh.

You should probably stop posting and take a walk or something - work off some steam, were all just bull****ting about videogame lore, seems like youre taking this presonally.

If I remember correctly, the label "bloodthirsty warrior" could equally be applied to Spartans and Romans. The Aztecs themselves promoted education in spite of their bizarre sacrifical rituals, every culture has their ups and downs.

After the death of the hedgemony, Mr. Chips took unilateral control of the Batarian military, banned slavery and led them forth into a glorious new age of social enlightenment and face-punching. 

There, I fixed it. Do you like Batarians now?

Honestly I kinda get it, bioware obviously made the batarians a race in the game humans wouldn't like. They're racist, isolationist, slavers, run crime syndicates and drug trafficking, and hideous to boot. We're obviously not supposed to like them, if you think about it...
