LinusTechTips came out with a line of PCMR merch and the first thing I thought was that I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something that says master race, especially not in one of the major liberal cities on the west coast.
Joke or not it comes across as very insensitive and has imo hasn’t been funny since I was like 12.

Definitely, as someone mentioned in a 2015 thread (https://libreddit.domain.glass/r/pcmasterrace/comments/2sehgh/pc_gamer_stop_calling_ourselves_the_pc_master/cnopv2a/),
You obviously have not even looked at the LTT merch or you would know it doesn't say master race. It is just PCMR. https://www.lttstore.com/collections/pcmr
And if anyone asks I’m not going to be able to explain it. PCMR means the same damn thing.
Y’all don’t have to agree, but there’s still no way in hell I’d be caught dead wearing it.
