First off, let me say that I consider myself Pro-Destroy (although I used to be Pro-Control, hence the signature banners), but something I've noticed on this forum is how many Pro-Destroyers seem really arrogant about their choice. Every time someone makes a thread in support of Control or Synthesis, people come along and say something like "Well Destroy is the only 'TRUE' ending so you're an idiot" or even worse, accuse the poster of being indoctrinated. And whenever a topic is made in support of Destroy, it seems like it's less about the upsides of the choice and more about hating on anyone that picked something else. Whilst I do believe that Destroy is the best ending, the other choices are also viable solutions because they all stop the Reaper Threat, whether in this cycle or the next. Am I alone on this one or do others agree with me? And does this represent the minroity or majority? Please keep the insults to a minumum as well, thanks.

Who cares either way? It's your game and your choice at the end of the day.

we destroy them or they destroy us

Some people choose destroy. Some choose control. Some choose synthesis. And others choose eternal anguish and pain. Who cares anyway. We're all doomed...

I'm not with you on that part. The first thing is annoying and arrogant, that's true, but I don't see why you consider the indoctrination part even worse. In real life, there is no such thing as indoctrination in the Mass Effect sense, so this can't really be taken personally.

If I say "You are indoctrinated" to a poster, then I merely express my interpretation that this person was tricked by the game, and that interpretation may be true or false. If I say "Destroy is the only one and if you pick something else you're stupid.", then I insult the other person.

Because BOOM

There is a lot of arrognace coming from the people who chose destroy, but personally I think only see them because I'm on the other side of the fence. I bet destroyers feel pretty much the same about a lot of controllers or synthesisers. And I'm guessing you're sensitive to it from the control side OP because you were once a pro- controller.

Also, there is the fact of having a majority of destroyers in the forum- it can make people pretty confident of their choice, so much in fact that they'll see it as obvious. And the IT also helped...

I havent noticed before I saw this comment or your thread OP. I really have no idea why.

The only really arrogant Destroy fans are the ITers ; if you don't choose Destroy you're a deluded fool.

[MassStorm]

Probably Destroy is the only option that let you win. In the other two either the Reapers achieved their goals (synthesis) or you just create a dictatorship (Control)....Destroy is the only way to maintain the free will of all organic civilizations. If you are a control supporter you might as well joined Cerberus from D1.

Welcome to the BSN.

Stay, we have cake....

I lied, cake is not included.

There's arrogant folks for all endings. Destroyers just tend be the most noticeable because its the most popular ending

I know this is OT, but I just have to mention how terms like "destroyers", "controllers" etc sound like some youngsters in leather jackets circling each other whilst playing with their knifes. I mean, aren't you guys ever amazed we actually have words for that, and still Star Trek fans claim the Kings Of Nerdism title?

I do enjoy asking control/systhesis lovers the tough questions and watching the deflections/head-cannon responses.

If that's arrogant, so be it.

And there aren't arrogant pro-controllers and Synthesis Supporters? And Seival?

Destroy is the right choice, after all.

Seriously though, it's quite shocking. From my experience, there are two flaws many pro-Destroyers exhibit; a) they don't accept any other ending, they refuse to accept the fact that they killed the Geth. My theory is that both of these are interlinked. It would seem they don't take responsibility for killing the Geth because they think there was no other way, but really, I think it's the other way around, they don't want to take responsibility for killing the Geth, so they keep telling themselves that lie until they actually believe it. I say 'lie' because EC should've taught us that every ending is a solution in its own way.

Note that I don't have any problem with the Destroy ending, at least not more than with every other ending, just with those who keep saying it's the only solution.

I belive it comes down to how the player have seen the game, not everyone gets the same experience from the same game, so Destroy might be the only solution for 1 person ¨lets take me for FX, ive only picked Destroy¨ and then another one is Control, and so on. I know i killed the Geth and EDI, but for an Shepard AI to be ¨Alone¨ with all that power in control, dosen't seem right in my eyes, it will eventually go wrong, and for Synthesis i just find it ¨wrong¨.

A hat tip to the refuse option, classy.

I chose destroy because I had something real special to come back to.

Believe me, I take full responsibility for what happens to the Geth - and only half of my four playthroughs ended in Destroy.

That said, I believe Reaper tech, specifically, and not "synthetics," generally, is what's actually being targeted, based on the fact that entities which incorporated it into themselves are destroyed (Reapers, Husks, Geth, EDI), while those with mere cybernetics are not (Quarians, Biotics, Shepard).

3 options, 2 of which end with you siding with the enemy and commiting suicide.  The other ends with you destroying your enemy

hmmmm

I don't have any clue about Star Trek, but I think I heard there's an enitre fictional language in Star Trek that fans learn. That's waaaay beyond Mass Effect.
