I couldn’t figure out how to message the mods (or even individual users) on my app. A space to discuss the survey and your post would be nice.


Edit: Got mod approval to keep this up

    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

      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.

        And calling ourselves a “master race”, no matter how much in jest isn’t funny. It screams edgelord gamer and has a ton of racist dog whistles.

        Personally I’d rather the community not exist at all. It’s downright cringe and hasn’t been funny ever.

      Right! I stood over my PC and recited those phrases. I got an extra 20 FPS!! Incredible!

      Console players hate this simple trick.
