Your meanin'...? I believe they would do these pretty much in the same way.
Not in today's climate. Back in ME1 and 2 (3 was pretty cartoony tbh), at least some care was taken to present both in more than one light. I can't see Bioware in its current state having a character like Mordin, probably ME2's most engaging and entertaining squaddie, actually defend the genophage reasonably well. I think the temptation to go full Mengele would be too strong.
The Krogan are patriarchical imperialists who think less of other races, killing them for fun. There's your justification.
Exactly. Krogan are regularly and consistently depicted as truly abominable creatures which were useful only as a tool and who have a positive (narratively speakin’) future
only if led by Wrex and
only in that scenario. Do you remember how outlandishly stupid Wreav was/is? Yeah, that. There are no dilemmas here IMHO and NuBioWhore wouldn’t need to reach far to find good justifications for what was done – hell, they were presented in the trilogy already. I think you’re overreactin’
Silverfish.
Besides, it’s not like NuBW are completely, 100% above makin’ something decent and morally dubious. Whole Solas character is that, and I believe we can agree that Inquisition is
new as opposed to
old when it comes to BW.
EDIT: Come to think of it, Mass Effect trilogy was already woke enough to slip in the current year™. Everything that’s potentially problematic is properly (wokely) contextualised, Miranda bein’ chief example. She’s a product of patriarchal genetic engineerin’ from which she
wishes and
chooses to escape from, defyin’ two male authority figures (her father and TIM) in the process. Funnily enough I think it doesn’t apply to, perhaps, only Jack. Jack is a dishevelled caricature of a woman not because she wishes it but because she’s mentally damaged, that’s her way of escapin’ from the world which harms her. In context, body covered in tattoos and bitchy demeanour are presented as a negative outcome, not as a rational choice, and I think modern wokeworld wouldn’t want these kind of implications. What ME trilogy lacks from the point of view of current year humanoids are flamin’ gay and strong lesbian archetypal characters. I potentially see them addin’ these.
EDIT2: My God, I just realised that women in ME trilogy, save for Jack obviously, all look normal. Jesus, how long ago that was...
