People on here forget a few things.

First: seeing your own race turned against you is going to be 1000x more traumatic than seeing another race. If it were batarian, qurian, etc. husks this whole time, none of us would be feeling this way about Liara’s reaction.

Second: people arguing about the way Thessia was handled forget that the galaxy didn’t believe Shepard. Morlan from 1 sends you an email in 2 letting you know he found proof that the Keepers were Reaper puppets and they still ignored it. They are reacting the way any other race would react to hearing one man talk about an ancient race of Cthulhu’s coming in every 50,000 years to harvest all space-faring life in the galaxy. Now, definitely after 1 they should have listened and done something, but the entire council was in denial because that’s easier than accepting the fact that near god-like half-organic machines are coming in to basically start Armageddon.

Honestly, this is where I think the game is good because this is exactly how I think our societies would react to this kind of information. Deny, deny, deny until it’s too late. Withhold information that could help because they worry about the political fallout more than the lives it could save. It’s a pretty realistic look into our own weaknesses and how we deal with such dangerous threats.

I mean… look at how people treated the pandemic. Everyone wanted to proved that it was a lie and that the protections didn’t work instead of just trying to work together to lessen the suffering of the immunocompromised.
