[Citadel] Salarian HV Show Strikes Chord with Turians

Salarian HV Show Strikes Chord with Turians

Zakera Entertainment Network, Zakera Ward

The Salarian Zakera Broadcasting Network continues to be bombarded with complaints from turians across Zakera and nearby neighboring wards after the popular salarian comedy sketch show "Well Shrell" aired a segment mocking the actions of the Hierarchy during the Reaper War.

The sketch involves the late Primarch Fedorian meeting with members of the Hierarchy, answering all concerns with “fight[ing] them head-on,” whether it concerns his people’s safety, coordinating attacks, or even repairing destroyed infrastructure. When Special Forces arrive to escort him to safety, he gives repeats the line, piloting the escape craft toward a Reaper. This leads to the punch line: Fedorian stating it's "The Turian Way" as the Reaper disintegrates everyone present.

SZBN has already received over 50,000 complaints for the 98-second sketch since it's broadcast four days ago, with significant outrage in numerous turian communities residing within Zakera - Several turian organizations operating on the citadel have made claims of the sketch being "racist", "insensitive" and "dangerously ignorant." One group, known as "Reputable Turians Against Ignorance," threatened a libel charge against the network. Veteran Hierarchy soldiers who had fought in the Reaper War have also spoken up regarding the segment and it's contents, claiming that the staff of "Well Shrell" are not “entitled” to the opinions that were put on show, saying that salarians "have no right to spread such malicious slander for something they were barely involved in to begin with."

Non-turian reactions are mixed, though numerous non-turians have stated that they agree and sympathize with what the general turian populace of Zakera. Others, however, have said that the whole situation is being taken too seriously.

"It's just a joke," one anonymous asari resident told ZEN. "I don't see why anyone has to make a big fuss about it. The writers probably don't believe in it themselves."

Urakh! If it bothers you people so much, just make a sketch about dickless faldabis-eating surrender frogs who let other people do the dying for them. Don't worry: if this incident has shown us anything, it's that salarians are good sports who know how to take a joke (unlike turians). I'm sure they can stand a laugh or two!

Because a tasteless sketch is wholly equivalent to a not-so-veiled threat on your life.

Spizzy, darling, I know most members of your species are natural born neurotics, but if you got your shorts in a knot every time you received a 'not-so-veiled threat on your life', you'd be walking around out there with the gait of a bowlegged, chinos-wearing elcor.


With piles.


How are you still even in the bartending business, anyway? They usually have to put up with much worse on a daily basis. I'd imagine it takes a man of sterner stuff to do the job, not some tadpole who flies into a tizzy over someone leaving a thoughtful serving of cuisses de grenouille on his doorstep!

Simple. I have bouncers, the worst I can usually say about my clientele is that their singing is awful, and C-Sec isn't idiotic enough to think I'm sneaking mind control substances into their drinks.

Oh, and I'm not mailed crates full of dead toads.

HV really went to shit after the Reapers.

Though you could argue it was always shit I guess.

Racism from those in power might lead to oppression, but racism from a "second-class group" can just as easily lead to violence and terrorism. Just look at Cerberus or the Drell Liberation Front.
