You've advocated the extinction of the Geth and Asari in this thread.

I view the council as a political entity like the UN. Would it have been acceptable policy to sit back, observe and allow a genocide happening in our own society? In fact it was a deliberate, and very near total ELE on the Quarian civilisation, yet the other powers refused to intervene is far more barbaric than enlightened, IMO
Compounded by the deliberate policy of denying the Quarians any form of refugee status. I can't recall the planet that the Quarians wished to have as an enclave, considering their requirements for planets are very strict, would it have been much of a sacrifice to the Council to allow the Quarians a chance to place their civilisation in a more secure footing?
Quote from the Wiki
"After being refused aid by the Citadel Council, the quarians fled the system in what remained of their fleet. Shortly thereafter, the Council stripped the quarians of their embassy as punishment for their carelessness, though a treaty was agreed upon forbidding an attack on the geth in order to avoid provoking them. Ever since, the quarians have drifted from system to system, searching for resources to sustain the Migrant Fleet and also for a new world to colonize. They even retain hopes of someday reclaiming Rannoch from the geth. "
And this situation has continued for centuries. But in the eyes of political officials based on the Citadel, Quarians are "Suit Rats" Speaks volumes why I sometimes see Refuse as the only choice

You know, I'm suspecting that the negativity towards the asari and the geth on the BSN have very little to do with the actual merits of either, and much more to do with people on the BSN wanting to reflexively disagree with the developers.
Wanting to get a nice little illusion of power by proclaiming whatever the developers supposedly 'support' must be stupid.

My Shepard basically uses them as cannon fodder against the reapers, though that was not my original intention. If a high enough EMS Destroy allowed them to live, I'd grant them that chance. I guess it wasn't in the cards.

Even if they were, you cannot whine about the asari being supposedly "self-interested" and then completely forget about all the races that didn't interfere. Which is exactly what you did.
@David7204 You may have saw that vid with those three school boys brutally attacking another student on a bus. And the bus driver was so freaked out that all he could think to do was call dispatch and cry out for someone to come and stop the delinquents, because apparently he had better things to do at the moment.
Behavioral Psychologist have investigated and brought to light many uncomfortable truths about human thought and actions. As it pertains to this subject we are having. The asari are the Elder race, other species (and people for that matter) tend to look to whomever they view as an authority figure, to model there behavior after. If one person intervenes, others will feel more compelled to. But if no one is brave enough to make the first move, no one will.
Make no mistake, I hold all of Citadel Council space responsible for not coming to the aid of the quarians. In my opinion, it is thier great shame. That act above all others taints any notion that they are truly a "galactic community." My best metaphor for what happen to the quarians during The Morning War is this.
The quarians house (civilization) was on fire. They tried with all the strength, skill and intellect they had to put the fire out. When they realized they couldn't put this fire out on thier own. They asked thier neighbors for help. Instead of coming to the quarians aid, all the other species just watched the quarians house burn or averted thier eyes from it all. And then all the other races are suprised when that fire finally reaches thier homes (the Battle of the Citadel)
I've said this before and I'll say it again... Its not hard for me to imagine the Quarian Ambassadors final words to the Council before they kicked him or her off the Citadel.
Quarian Ambassador: Mark my words Councilors. The geth are my peoples problem today.They will be your people's problem tomorrow!
I'm not whinning about anything brother. Because during my first playthrough of Mass Effect 1, I made damn sure that the Council received a death and demise befitting of POETIC JUSTICE by the Geth being the ones to take them out. For all we know the Asari Councilor in 2183 could very well be the same AC during The Morning War.

The negativity I have is based on actions of the characters and entities in the canon history and Lore and how they equate with human political reality.
The Quarian suffered a holocaust event, that cannot be spun in any way positive. Denying or downplaying that sort of event? Well some countries have laws prosecuting those attitudes and opinions.
Sitting on the fence and refusing to intervene or enact your own laws, as the Council did? Speaks of political double standards on the whole COUNCIL, not just the ASARI
Stripping a formal ally of political recognition, refusing them refugee status for hundreds of years just compunds my negativity to the entire political system.

It's true, the Council should have intervened when the quarians started attacking the geth. However, I think the situation blew up too quickly for the Council to intervene properly... and, ultimately, it was a pretty fantastic ****up on the part of the quarians to both create an AI race and make them hostile.
But since it wasn't the asari it wasn't really that big of a deal yes?

Truth be told, since the Council intervening would probably have led to the total destruction of the geth or just the Morning War spreading into Council space immediately, this outcome might actually have been one of the better ones.Grand Admiral Cheesecake wrote...

That is as maybe on both sides, but the law against AI's was already written and the Council didn't act on their own law during or after the event.
And the continual refusal to grant Quarians any form of recognition or assistance for centuries is not a positive political trait. IMO.

One of the more comical aspects about the whole "Synths are people too!" notion in 3 is how nobody has any ethical qualms about EDI forcibly commandeering Eva Core's body.
@Seboist I do! I was just playing ME3 the other day and it occured to me that EDI did the same thing Legion does during the Geth Consenssus Mission. Shepard had every right to say to Legion and EDI, "How much damage could your stunt have caused if something went wrong?!' For all we knew, Dr. Eva was created for the sole purpose of returning EDI to Cerberus Command. Dr. Eva could have been a trojan horse. i've seen comic book stories were stuff like that happens. A psychic probes someone's mind and ends up becoming a more powerful minds thrall.
What EDI did to Dr. Eva is sickyet she has the nerve after Sanctuary to talk to Shepard about how she won't let the Reapers rewrite her code and have her serve them, but she has no problem doing that to other synthetics.
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn. I kill cerberus and use their radio to pretend to be them without a big moral conundrum, I don't see how killing eva core and taking her body is any more immoral than killing hostiles and taking their property as a prize.
