"I found many of the common criticisms based on constant scrutiny, not simple ignorance."

The majority of the things that I see Retakers parrot most often are disproved simply by acknowledging the Catalyst's dialogue.

"When you say you're not going to do an ABC ending and that it would be insulting to the fans, you don't f***ing do it anyways. All I wanted was an ending where my previous choices actually affects what I do."

That completely ignores how your Effective Military Strength impacts the ending, which of course just about every Retaker does. It's also narrow-minded to a) focus on only the final choice and not everything that happens in the mission prior, and b) to completely ignore how all of your previous choices have shaped the galaxy.

If there's one thing that ending-bashers seem to love, it's dumbing down the ending to merely the final decision and the three choices that you have, then complaining about their dumbed-down perception of it.
