You know, killing the Collectors was genocide too.
Genocide isn't automatically bad.
It helps though when the race you're killing currently has no free will because of evil space squids.
How did I become a genocidal maniac?

That, I can't help you with. I picked Control in the one playthrough I have out of three that resulted in peace.Fandango9641 wrote...
And what of Destroy for the players who managed to reconcile the differences between Quarian and Geth? Why does the game reward the player for accepting the Catalyst’s racist mantra in perpetrating genocide on a race of sentient machines, without giving full weight to the horrors of making that particular choice? I know why! Moreover, why is Mass Effect a trilogy that will only allow for victory by way of ignorance, arbitrary violence and unspeakable moral compromise?
I never said anything about accepting the Catalyst's racist rhetoric. Quite the opposite - I see Destroy as a rejection of it. I reject his premise of inevitable conflict. As I see it, Destroy only targets Reaper tech - meaning that if the Geth are already dead, EDI is the only casualty.
Believe me, I'm not thrilled about her death. But I sacrificed three hostages to stop Balak on X57. This is one more life to put a permanent end to the Reapers.
Aye, I can accept that failing the Geth on Rannoch might make that final choice a little more palatable (*whispers* it did for me, on my first and only playthrough) but contrast what was an appropriately moving conclusion to the Geth\\Quarian story arc with the wretched work of our endings. One celebrates the virtue of violence; the other shows you the cost. Big, big difference.

You were corrupted by Mass Effect 3.
No, really.

So today I finished another playthrough of Mass Effect 3 and on the Shepard I picked Destroy. The Epilogue rolled and I was pleased, but it was then I realized something, I had now picked Destroy on more Shepards than any other ending, even my favorite which is control.
I'm currently at 3 for control, 1 for Synthesis and now 4 for Destroy.
My integrity! Why?!? What's happening too me?!
Because all things considered equal, over time humans will pick the selfish choice. It just proves that you didn't really care about the galaxy and all its life, you only cared about the slim chance that your sheppard survived. The ME3 ending was a mass experiment on human values on a massive scale.
If you pick the destroy ending, you are a terrible selfish human being that will screw everyone else over just as long as you are ok. You think that genocide is ok as long as at the end of the day, you have food in your belly and a few bucks in your pocket. You are a sociopath.
If you picked synthesis, you are a terrible human being even though you have other 'best interests' at heart ,at least what you consider thier best interests. You are a faschist n*a*z*i*(why is that word blocked?!?!) communist monster who would force people against thier will to conform, even if it destroys who they 'are'. The greater hive is all that matters and the individual is insignificant. Stalin and Hitler would be proud.
If you picked control, you are a great human being because ultimately you realise that choice is the only real freedom that people have and that you ultimately don't have the right to deside how they live thier lives. You are also wise enough to know that people are generally selfish so you take steps to ensure that everyone has security to live thier own lives, while not having to worry about someone coming and enslaving them. Congradulations, you have set up the galaxies first galactic republic!
If you picked refuse, you are an anarchist. Not necessarily bad, in the long run, but in the short run not so good.

I look at it like this: The Geth CHOSE to be upgraded by Reaper tech. They didn't have to, but they did. It went against what Legion said in ME2 about the Geth forging their own path without the technology of the Old Machines; a philosophy that was more-or-less forgotten by the time ME3 rolled around. Therefore, the Geth dug their own graves. Maybe they weren't counting on the Catalyst wiping out all semblances of Reaper-tech, but it did 1/3 of the time.
So yeah, it was an unfortunate sacrifice, but my Shepard chose to do what he set out to do since Virmire.
As for EDI, I view her as the only tragic loss based on the choice. She had Reaper tech built into her to make her sapient. She never had a choice.

If you pick Control you're an ego-maniac who thinks that you alone have the right to rule over trillions of lives and force your ideals onto the rest of the galaxy, all done using your giant robot police force.
