Not Just Dumb Muscle - by Jorgal Krax
Thesis: Everyone thinks krogan are hired as bouncers because it’s easy work and they’re big and scary. But being a good bouncer takes more than being physically intimidating, or brute strength.
I. Public Perception of Krogan
The “Krogan Rebellions” and how history is written by the victors
Krogan are usually assumed to be mercenaries or pirates, thanks to this historical narrative.
Krogan are indeed employed often in Citadel space as bouncers.
Bouncers are often seen as thugs, which fits easily into this narrative also.
Conclusion: The bouncer profession is a neat intersection of stereotypes, perpetuated by demand from nightclubs for krogan hires.
II. Just Punching Stuff is Actually Really Bad
Patrons will leave and the club will suffer from bad word of mouth
C-Sec will probably fine the club for creating an unsafe environment.
You’ll get fired. Or arrested. Probably both.
Conclusion: Krogan who stay employed aren’t just applying brute force. Ones who do will be tossed out and probably blackballed from the profession.
III. How Bouncing Actually Works
Most of the time you just talk with a troublemaker, to tell him he’s crossed the line.
The best bouncers are the kind who can talk that person down or get him to leave on his own.
The bouncer’s size only serves as unspoken authority. Everyone except the most belligerent of drunks realizes that a krogan can drag you outside if he wants to.
Conclusion: Krogan with people skills, who knew!
Acknowledgment of opposing viewpoint: Krogan don’t always need the people skills because he can quietly drag offenders outside if the warning doesn’t work. But the fact remains that he must keep his cool to keep his job.
Concluding statement: The accepted version of galactic history has painted krogan as dumb thugs, suited only for illegal or menial work. Bouncing is also mischaracterized as a big brute tossing troublemakers out of bars. But effective bouncers do not (and in fact cannot) rely on physical force, and krogan who can’t control themselves will not stay employed. So it isn’t an easy or automatic task, even for a krogan.
