Why repeat the "master race" nonsense?
Why repeat the "master race" nonsense?
I've always found the "master race" moniker on Reddit subs really offputting/distrubing. Why repeat that here? It could just as easily be called "PC Enthusiast" or something totally normal.
You're viewing a single thread.
Well it's a joke by Zero Punctuation years ago, that sub is inspired by that joke, this community is the colony of that sub.
and now the community IS the joke /s
no /s needed, look at how butthurt everyone in this thread is at the mere suggestion that they name their community something less nazi.
Is simply answering OP's question considered "butthurt" now?
You say "everyone" in this thread is butthurt. Who, specifically, is butthurt in this thread? Call someone out by name.
You seem pretty butthurt, for starters.
Yeah, that's what I thought, lol.
Look at how butthurt everyone in this thread is over a joke name and bringing perceived politics into it where there is none. This was all started by one game reviewer making fun of people who took PC gaming too seriously and then the subreddit name leaning into the joke. That's it, that's the story. If you want to start your own """less nazi""" PC enthusiast community, you can feel perfectly free to do that just the same as you could've on reddit with exactly the same amount of relative success as it would've had back there.
The fact is that the community was always going to be named "pcmasterrace" because that's what it was on reddit. Someone, anyone, was always going to make a community called "pcmasterrace" because that is how all the PCMR reddit refugees would find it. What you're getting mad about is the equivalent to what happens when people get mad over road names and petition to have them renamed. The small fraction of people who petitioned for it to happen feel real proud of themselves, good job, and then everyone else who never cared about why the road was named the way it was and just wanted to be able to get from point A to point B are indifferent at best and annoyed or angry at worst. All most people really want is to find their community and get back to discussing, so a huge chunk are likely to come to any of these instances' version of "pcmasterrace" because it's a simple way to accomplish that.
