I'd argue that Synthesis is genocide as well, although the individuals live through the death of their races.

I don't see how it's genocide, due to the fact that... Everyone becomes like Shep has been since the very beginning of the second game unless you would also argue that it wasn't Shep. Half synthetic, half organic. That's all. They're still them, we still see them having the exact same personalities. Unless you're arguing for a Bodysnatchers-type thing, it makes no sense. They're still shown as being able to have children and such, there's nothing that says that they lost their genetic or even racial diversity. It's just this weird assumption fandom seems to have made in their outrage.

I just think people are misunderstanding what happened in that ending, overall, and don't seem to realize that the Catalyst outright states that it wouldn't be an option if the world wasn't ready for it.

I don't think the eons-old malfunctioning AI that thought the Reapers were a good idea because its creators were terminal failures at programming is really the most reliable arbiter of...anything, really.

It was accurate on everything else. And it wasn't really an arbiter, it just laid out the choices for you.

But look at it like this: in ME universe, a lot of people have something synthetic in them, whether it's a prosthetic, a biotic or something else. They were already well on the way to synthesis when they hit the mark that raised the Reaper alarm. Had the alarm been put off by another century or so, they probably would have reached synthesis anyway.

Honestly if I try to actually think about how Synthesis would work it cannot get over my suspension of disbelief. It's just way too out there.
