Re: Unpopular Opinions!

Yes, an entire race being able to somehow have brainsex and then get pregnant with a child that is somehow the culmination of your entire ancestry's best traits and that is not bullshit space magic at all that makes perfect sense with genes being genes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

The best traits thing is also stated to be what the asari believe, not necessarily what actually happens.

Re: Unpopular Opinions!

[(Anonymous)]

That's not how parthenogenesis works. I know about parthenogenesis, but the way the Asari works is absolutely not how it actually works. The children are not clones of the parent.

Keep trying to defend your butthurt when it's literally space magic.

Re: Unpopular Opinions!

But what happens with the asari is a creative extension of the way parthenogenesis works, just like the stuff anon mentioned above is a creative take on the way DNA works. Synthesis takes creative license on an existing scientific phenomenon to an absurd degree to the point where we can't even speculate on how it would work. It's just wacky. Suspension of disbelief can account for DNA tinkering a la Shepard's resurrection and Miranda's creation, and it can account for asari mindbabies, much more easily because those are not nearly as ridiculously out there as Synthesis.

Re: Unpopular Opinions!

Eh, I'd disagree, if only because somehow the Asaris aren't clones, show variances even in family lines, etc. Synthesis ending is a miracle and goes hand-in-hand with the obvious Jesus parallel going on with Shepard.

It's kind of like how we're supposed to believe that the Destruction ending ONLY disables synthetic LIFE and not, you know, necessary things like any prosthetics or synthetic organs imo. There's been space magic from the beginning, including biotics being space mages and the mass relays are never actually explained as anything other than ~ancient technology~.

Re: Unpopular Opinions!

[diet_poison]

Asari aren't clones because of the creative license taken with parthenogenesis, i.e. gene shuffling. Is it weird? Yes. Is it as weird as synthesis? Hell no.

Are you the anon I'm talking to elsewhere about the Jesus metaphor?

It's kind of like how we're supposed to believe that the Destruction ending ONLY disables synthetic LIFE and not, you know, necessary things like any prosthetics or synthetic organs imo.

Wait, we are?? I thought it was really obvious in the game that Destruction would fuck with technology that's essential to everyone including machines in peoples' bodies.

Well yeah, but...what's your point exactly? And some of that stuff is explained, just not as thoroughly as it would be if they were real scientific phenomena. They have origins and explanations though, they're not just random.
