Cerberus in ME2 is the only organisation trying to respond to the Reaper threat, while the Milky Way's elected governments quibble uselessly because half of them are indoctrinated. No, none of us are going to think about whether this boosts real life advocates of race hate.

Cerberus is a billionaire-backed human supremacist organisation who you caught doing pseudoscientific eugenics on traumatised veterans in ME1. But Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson exist to show you there are nice people on both sides. Jack disagrees, but she's lezzo coded so she doesn't count.

I like MASS EFFECT. It's a lot of fun. But the OT has recurring problems with just doing something because it seems cool, without considering the political implications. Like, it's not bad that Spectres are above the law, Saren is just the bad apple that definitely doesn't spoil the bunch, you know?
