For some reason I didn't think about this until now. I was always too busy concentrating on why Synthesis is wrong for other reasons, I didn't look at it from the most basic point of view. This to me just reinforces how incredible stupid and unbelievable the Synthesis ending is. There's is no way people would just automatically forgive and get along with beings who had just recently destroyed their homes and killed their families. I don't care if the effects of Synthesis is suppose to make them understand each other. I understand why Muslim Extremists suicide bomb the hell outta each other, doesn't mean I'm happy or agree with what they're doing.
It's such complete nonsense. How can anyone buy this scenario?
I agree with this and it just shows that there seems to be endless new ways to look at it all and see that something doesn't make sense.
Even if we believe the reapers are just doing what they must do (because glow boy says so and in service to some overall idealistic goal from his perspective), it does not mean that people will just look at them with people goo inside of them and smile. The same reasons for why Control would in my opinion and based on "human" nature end up badly, exist for Synthesis as well.
I look at it like this-Charles Manson controlled his "family" and made them think it made sense to try and start Helter Skelter, to force a race war (reasons given that may or may not be true for the Tate/La Bianca murders). He was found responsible and guilty for the murders, though no one could say he directly killed any of those he was charged with murdering. His followers were rather blindly obedient and did horrific things, some more than others seemed to lack real independent will any more. But they were still found guilty of murder-and Sharon Tate's family (as well as the others' families) didn't say "let them go, they're innocent" and want them out and free.
If someone points a gun at your head and tells you they will shoot if you don't kill and devour a friend of mine, I may understand that you had no choice but to do that. It doesn't mean I want you as my neighbor--I won't be able to ignore the fact you devoured my friend. Someone else might, but because people like me do exist and could not deal with it, it makes both Control and Synthesis real problems in the way they're presented.
The only way that Synthesis would not lead to the same conclusion (where people would find it impossible to accept the reapers as companions because they not only killed trillions but also because they used their bodies in such a horrid fashion) would be if Synthesis does lead to nanites that internally control organics.
Synthesis does 1 of 2 things--it cannot do both.
Either it A) uses tech internally to actually change people and to control them. Or,
it does not do this and merely is used to help them say medically (not as evidenced by Joker still limping) or in some other subtle ways-so it is not tech taking over.For people to simply ignore what the reapers have done and what they have inside of them, A would have to be true. For synthesis to matter and "fix" things in the way the kid wants, A would have to be true. So, it becomes something I would not want to do, would not want to have happen-I can't see having Shepard suicide in order to let tech take over people internally.
For B to be true, the case could be made that synthesis is pointless since it actually does nothing. So then why have Shepard suicide for nothing?
Also, bottom line is forgiving is not forgetting. Even in the case of some killer who is forgiven by a relative of someone they killed, forgiveness may be given. But that doesn't mean they can forget and not want the guilty to pay.
