When those cupcakes have designs on them that mock the creators, yes they do.

Once again, you continue to overgeneralise. I never said anyone should think the way I do. We simply want BioWare to recognise that they failed in writing the ending, and disappointed thousands of people. Anyone's free to like it, but that doesn't change what it is: bad writing.

Here's an example for you. I actually loved Dragon Age II, despite its myriad of flaws and the stupid decisions made by BioWare. A lot of people hated it, but I really enjoyed it. I liked the character Anders a lot, but I can still take an objective viewpoint and say that his characterisation was too heavy-handed. They made a lot of other mistakes in that game, and I criticised it fiercely. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed it, and I still do.

Also, the Reapers could, by some definitions, be considered Synthetic. They were created by organic life to protect themselves from synthetics. This is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. They did this because they believed that the created always rebel against the creators, not realising that they themselves are creators that just created a species. Because the Reapers do not occur naturally, they can be considered synthetic machines, as opposed to organic machines, but could also be classified as partly organic. However, this doesn't negate the fact that they were created, and did not arise the way an organic species would. So really, calling them synthetics does not throw out the entire argument, that's just semantics.
