In the migration to lemmy, this community’s admins have the chance to drop its startlingly racist name. Wasn’t funny back then, and it’s still not funny.
Why keep the nazi memorabilia around?

Not everything is about Nazis, not everything needs to be made about Nazis. It’s just a funny name.
This is the correct response. The other comments saying that “the name being a Nazi reference isn’t that big of a deal” is missing the point. Because it’s not a Nazi reference.
It’s just a self-aware joke about elitism in PC enthusiasts.
i would say the language of “glory” and “master races” have been pretty sufficiently captured by nazis, maybe take a look around you.

No it hasn’t. Stop randomly giving shit to Nazis.
That doesn’t remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it’s genuinely a dumb hill to die on.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) “master race” is definitionally about race and the use of that social categorization to commit genocide; the concept of race and so-called “race science” are not really funny tbh
I’m in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.
def def!!! <3
Human stupidity is infinite, there’s no point catering to it.
