My first responce to this long winded jabber from the OP was going to be a collection of everyones responces, on what I thought took the words right out of my mouth. However, I figure a hand typed responce may be better.
Seems to me, Ozymandias23 came from the school of, "oppose my opionions on everybody." I am at the Jacob mission right now. Though I loathe doing it... not because of the situation, but because I hate Jacob. I actually have no problem with this side quest. What male hasn't fantasised about a harem of girls?
First of all, it is stated in game, they crash landed on a planet. However, you failed to mention in your rant, that the planet's flora.. IS TOXIC. The mind decays because of this food, and in order to get his people back to the alliance, he seperated everyone. There simply was not enough food to go around, and he needed to make sure that IF they are to get to saftey, the sane minded will need to remain sane. I don't know about you, but if I were a commander of a ship trying to help my people, I'd know we'd need someone who can actually use technology.
Secondly, as it is said somewhere in this thread, "Absolute power corrupts absolutley." You're beliefe that the develupment team used the holocaust as an apt example for this mission is flawed. Corruption and neural decay is what started this problem, not a hatred towards the jewish community.
Thirdly, he even states that, inhebetions ran low, and in order to keep from chaos, he had to do what was done. This is his reason, until he needed saving. Once again, runs to corruption. "If you treat people like animals, big shock, they become animals." I think if you had read or listened to the diologue a little bit more, perhaps you would see things differently.
I, personaly, do not like it when slacked jawed hoity toity individuals feel they need to express their illconceviced notions of religious, or gender biased hostility unto to me. Granted, that I could just simply ignore the post, and not read it; however, I feel that I am being attacked because I don't share the same PC idealism that the OP does.
You say that BioWare callously used past events of the jewish community to sell this game as a gritty medium. I believe it is you who are callously trying to impose your beliefes unto us, and further more, me.
As the great Mr. Horse would say, "No sir, I don't like it."
He got what he deserved, problem solved.
You also say that you are unimpressed with the way they portray woman in this specific game. You even refer to it as if it is GTA. In no where in this game do I hire a hooker and kill her in the backseat of my stolen car.
You also fail to reply to a question posted more than once on this thread.. what of the Asari Consort on the Citidel? The stripers and dancers in Chora's Den. You have no concern for them when it doesn't tarnish your view of ME1. I will give you that the consort, as far as I remember, does not sleep or perform any sexual advances toward any of her clients, she mearly uses her abilities to make her clients feel better through asari means of communication.
I sugest next time you play ME1, take a seat in Chora's Den (ok, I spelled it twice, am I spelling it wrong?) and watch one of the dancers, oh and don't forget the tip.
Edit:
An other poster commented on Dante's Inferno. I would also like to say, I'd really hate, and to me, hate is a strong word, if Ozymandias23 got his/her (i'm assuming is a girl), hands on the classics. The Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso), as well as other greats works like Conan from the great and in my opinon prolific writer, Robert E. Howard. I would HATE to see what Ozymandias23 would say about the gory bloody details and gratuitous nature of these stories.
