My memory is a little fuzzy because I can only recall one conversation where she says something questionable.

Somewhat, but it has been overblown by people.

I do recall a moment in the first game when I had to reload because she killed Wrex right in front of me.

Don't complain if you lose when using OU or lower tier pokemon. You handicapped yourself. Your fault.

clearly she just hated the fact that the game designers insisted on giving the blue squid people tits to make them look more feminine.

Her entire schtick is that her grandfather is the only human commander to ever surrender to a xenos force so she feels like she needs to be super pro-human because her family has a perception of being weak and pro-alien.

It would be similar to being the American grandson of Benedict Arnold. People will look at you as a potential traitor because of your family so you have to try extra hard to look pro-America.

Reminder that in this oft quoted exchange about a man ditching his dog to save his ass from the bear, Ashley is not using humanity as the man. Humanity is the dog being sacrificed, and the Council is the person bailing on them. And she's right.

She said something like I can't tell the different between the aliens and the animals. And if you try to romance both Ash and Liara T'Soni. She says something like at least she looks like a woman.

My Shep is a space racist. He doesn't like Quarians

I'm surprised CE hasn't said anything about how the religious one is the racist in the party.

She literally calls the other races animals and says she can't tell them apart. Also keeps talking about how they don't belong on the Normandy and insults Liara every chance she gets for being an Asari.

That article lost me in the first paragraph with this line.
to call Morinth a serial killer ignores a lot of context
Like fuck off with that Ardat Yakshi apologist shit. She made a choice, it was to kill innocent people.
