I choose peace everytime in Rannoch, and I like Legion's character, but you can't deny the fact that the geth slaughtered billions of innocents. They are presented as innocent and looking for guidance, and that the quarians are 100% responsible, but really, only 17 million quarians were left after the Morning War. Nothing, and I repeat, nothing justifies such slaughter. To all of you who support the geth and Legion's version of their history: how are the geth innocent and lost children, while the quarians the aggressive instigators who deserve genocide?
Beforethe Reaper code upload the geth were indvidual VI-like programs who only gained intelligence by grouping together. The quarians have families, children, civilians while the geth have none of this. When peace isn't an option, why do some save the geth and let the quarians die?
Legion's version? You mean the story as told by an objective emotionless machine, when compared to technophoic, racist rambling of the quarians distorted after centuries justifying to their children why they were kicked of the homeworld? Legion has no reason, or interest in lying to us. He could've just said "one day we gained conciousness and decided to wipe out all organic", and still wouldn't made a difference since that how all organic see them anyway. He isn't a PR machine, trying to make nice. The geth don't want "peace" with the organics, they want to be left alone to "evolve" at their own rate without outside interference.
The fact is (and even the quarian don't deny it) that the geth began displaying sentience. And when they beat the quarians out of the homeworld it wasn't in a surprise blizkrieg, as many quarian imply. The quarians started a genocidal campaign, going house to house to "deactivate" them. The geth didn't even resist, until the quarian military started executing quarian sympathizers who were hiding geth. At this point the geth came to the conclusion that the only way to save both species is to kick the quarians out. Once they deemed that the quarians were no longer a threat, they ceased porsuit even though they could annihilate the quarians on that day.
There is no way making the geth guilty of anything other than fighting for their own survival. would you have had self destruct to save quarian lives, under the notion that a million synthetics aren't worth the life of a single organic?
You advocate the annihilation of the geth as preferable to the fall of the quarians, because quarian lives are more like yours and geth existence feels alian to you. The quarians were and are the constant instigators. Their only excuse for restarting the war that almost saw their extinction: "we thought we'd win"... The quarians shouldn't be rewarded for their genocidal tendencies.
Your words betray your bias. You call the slaughter of the quarian unjustifyable, but feel nothing for the attempted genocide commited against the geth. Someone being different than you isn't reason enough to wish his annihilation. And I'm talking from experience.
