User blog comment:Crazywarfire/Indoctrination Theory is BS/@comment-67.52.240.115-20120623153723/@comment-4237253-20120623162922

Does that have to mean anything? Honestly, that last comment sounded paranoid. That isn't proof of anything.

1. How does Shepard having dreams have anything to do with him being indoctrinated? That's a bit of stretch. Everybody has dreams. People go to sleep, and sometimes, they have dreams. People being brainwashed by sentient alien robots aren't the only ones who have dreams.

2. There are trees near the beam? That's the single worst piece of "evidence" I've ever heard for any theory. Some people may not be privy to this, but there are trees in London'. Amazing I know. Another thing to note is that games cost time and money to make. Since your only going to see those trees for 5 seconds, it kind of makes sense for them to reuse trees in a game, instead of spending time, effort, and money on making new trees. Seriously, the trees in London look sorta like the trees in a dream? How does that even relate to Reaper Indoctrination? Trees are trees. If anyone can read more into that, it's just paranoia.

3. So because everyone isn't preoccupied with some random kid, he's automatically a hallucination? He has to be the result of brainwashing? Consider the fact that there is a full-scale galactic invasion going on. A sentient race of god-like machines are trying to completely annihilation humanity. Alien robots exceeding 1-2 kilometres in height are landing down and destroying entire buildings like Swiss cheese. There are deformed versions of alien species shooting at these people. Yes, one very short person might go unnoticed. There is extreme panic and fear unlike ever before in these people. When people are afraid, they do stupid things. Maybe they didn't care about the little kid. Maybe they care more about themselves. You can't except everyone to be a hero in a crisis.

In fact, who said they didn't notice him? The soldier signals for the shuttle pilot to close the door right after he got in. I am willing to posit that he doesn't have time to pick up children in the middle of a heated fire fight. I don't see why he needs help getting onto the shuttle, since he's perfectly capable of doing it himself. Maybe the soldiers were helping him onto the shuttle by giving him cover fire? I don't know what you expect to see. This is a crisis, and human beings do stupid things. Do you expect everyone to drop what they're doing to go save some random kid, pick him up and protect him?

Most importantly, how does not being noticed mean he isn't real? If you go into a huge crowd of people and no one acknowledges your presence, does that mean you're a hallucination?
