MrMusAddictMods, can this post be a meta conversation about your survey post?
Assuming this post stays up, guess I’ll start.
I voted no because I fully recognize it’s a joke, but I also fully recognize it’s a joke in poor taste.
I watched Yahtzee religiously back in the day, laughed at this specific joke, and thought it was odd a community adopted the name.
I’d also like to point people to this community without awkward introductions.
DarraignTheSaneWhat would you be pointing them to if it’s not called c/pcmasterrace? “Hey, go check out c/pc”? There are already multiple PC gaming communities across the various Lemmy instances.
Either this community exists, or it doesn’t. Those who are of the opinion that it shouldn’t exist should probably just move along.
I’m bad at coming up with names, but anything that evokes “is best” that isn’t “master race” would work.
Here are some probably bad examples:
- PC Is King
- PC Over Consoles
- PC Reigns Supreme
- PC Ascendency
BlazePCElitism, because that’s pretty much what it is
But the joke is “we’re part of the Glorious PC Master Race”, not “PC is best”. That’s some 5 year old bibble-babble bullshit.
The reality is that this community will either exist as c/pcmasterrace, or it simply won’t exist.
My point though is that the implications of both phrases is the same.
“We are part of the glorious PC Master Race” = “We are part of a group of humans who understand PCs are better than any alternative”
One’s more extreme with a stained past (regardless of how subjectively cringey it may sound), the other is not.
CatZoomies- PC Is King
- PC Over Consoles
- PC Reigns Supreme
- PC Ascendency
Right! I stood over my PC and recited those phrases. I got an extra 20 FPS!! Incredible!
Console players hate this simple trick.
