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

    Comparing critics of the PCMR name to people who think the word master is racist is pretty disingenuous. It’s literally master race, a term that was coined to identify a group of humankind which is better than the rest, a term that is inseparable from Nazi’s.

    It’s not about being offended. It’s about being at odds with myself for wanting to be a part of a community because I agree with its values, while wanting to disassociate from the community because of a (seemingly) easy to change name that people don’t want to change.

      I knew an addict once… he died… do you think it’s a joke? You should really consider changing your name

        False equivalency. “Addict” has different meaning dependent on the volatility of what you’re addicted to. “Master Race” has one meaning.

          I mean, master race absolutely has a meaning. That meaning is independent of nazi use, just as the swastika is a symbol outside of nazi use.
