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?

The name is funny though, but if you don’t like it make a new magazine with a better name and put up better content so people switch over.
I didn’t even know someone had started one with the same name until this post.
God that’s an insufferable take, “if you don’t like it, leave without saying anything”? This is one post. A single one! I think speaking my mind is ok, and clearly some folks agree with me here. I think it’s a worthy discussion.
“Ignore and make your own” is honestly the most naive and spineless thing you can say. Imagine acting on that principle IRL, for instance, when people you consider your friends say or do something vile.
I really can’t agree that the name is funny. It affiliates everyone who wants to gather and talk about PCs with so-called “race scientists” who genocide in the name of a so-called “master race”. Can’t imagine wanting to associate with that, but its horrifying that people think it’s politically neutral to do so.

Only someone from an inferior console race would suggest that
haha you got me! real racists sure do love joking about being proxy racists online :)
Literally, they don’t. We live in a world where racists don’t joke anymore, they’re just openly racist. “proxy racist” isn’t even a thing. Find something else to stir up drama about.
It was funny then and it’s even more funny now that cringe lords like you are getting worked up over it. Pull the stick out of your ass. If you want to find something to get offended about there’s plenty of real life racist shit.

Go back to Reddit with this logic.

unrelated to the og post, but i truly hope we dont start the whole “go back to reddit” thing as if this is fucking 4chan 🤢

Yeah, agreed.
Most people probably used to see it as mocking fascism (and the tendencies of brand/ecosystem fanboys to act like little tyrants) but these days I’m pretty sure they (the actual fascists) just welcome the free publicity.
Also, fuck Nazis.
Too sensitive for internet, touch grass.

why do you care about people being sensitive
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.
This is why I hate internet left wingers. You’re no better than the guys on Voat. Go touch grass.
dont be a rude
It’s just the chronically online zoomer ones. Brains warped from the monitor glare. I’m a millenial left winger and I’m not cringey like this.
I don’t know what vlout is, but I agree
Internet left wingers need to bring their politics into EVERYTHING. Such whiners, it’s embarassing.
Just have a fucking sense of humor
Basically reddit, but filled with the kind of people who got banned from Reddit. Full of right wing people.
Sounds like my people!
y’all getting politically defensive when someone calls out or expresses any concern about racism is a tell dude. It’s just revealing how enabled & triggered y’all are by this.
Fuck nazism but I never made the connection until it was mentioned. We all know the time will soon come to bow to our computer overlords, so this just seemed like foreshadowing to me.
Agreed, it is a missed opportunity to drop that stinky reference and move on. I’m not offended by the name, i can live with it, but it’s just cringe.

I mean, haven’t you heard the discussions around PC vs Console?
It’s a tongue-in-cheek commentary of the vitriol surrounding that discussion, at least that was my take.
Exactly, it’s also from a classic yahtzee video. If your first thought when you hear this in very clear context is nazi crap over a pretty funny piece of gaming history then that sounds like a you problem, nobody should actually be offended by something as benign as this. If anything even if that is somehow the case, nazis should be laughed at and made fun of instead of holding ‘their words’ in some hush-hush revered taboo state. Just by making stupid threads like these and calling attention to it you’re giving them way too much power over you than they deserve to have.
