I don't know what my personal contribution to all of this was, but I can remember back to those brief few minutes of the ME3 credits that started it all.
I literally went through all 5 stages of grief in that scrolling.
"That can't be how it ends..."
"The fuck kind of ending was that?!"
"Maybe there's a twist and Shepard was indoctrinated or messed up due to his injuries and something else is still going to happen."
"I started this series back in 2007, and this is how it ends in 2012."
"I'm never buying from this company again."
The ending, original before any DLC trying to fix it, was that abrupt and jarring.
The funny thing isthatthey did do what they said. You continued your adventures with Commander Shepard with downloadable content.
The Citadel DLC is the true ending of ME3.
That or get the Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod which fixes basically everything.
I wonder what the various timelines are like where there was no Marauder Shields ending to Mass Effect 3, and/or the original dark matter story is what the series went with before the writer threw a wobbly at story ideas being leaked.
Imagine a timeline without The Zoe Post. Or Gamers Are Dead. Not one with them all gone, just one part of the chain that led us here today to this point. Would make for some interesting chaos theory models.
So a world where all the Woke shit continued as it was beforehand, but a vast majority of people stayed asleep for years longer letting them act unopposed until they were even more entrenched and powerful.
We don't really need to wonder, any of us that were "woke to it" before GG would consider that just a continuance of the despair at watching the world fall to hell that we already had.
Except in this case, half the guys here would still be happy little Lefties still supporting all of it.
Yeah, that shit was just a confluence of forces that lit an errant spark in the public consciousness. The kindling that caught fire thereafter had been quietly building up for years before that.
