Not everything is about Nazis, not everything needs to be made about Nazis. It's just a funny name.

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.

Only someone from an inferior console race would suggest that

Go back to Reddit with this logic.

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.

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.

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.

Never made the connection. I think its a bit far fetched to get worked up about, but PC Gaming Race could work i guess

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.

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.

Console peasants are so sensitive these days.

This thread violates Rule 2 - "Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.", and also violates parts of Rule 1. Locking it down as it got too political and mean.

Because it's funny. There are at least three communities named "PC Gaming" (on lemmy.ml, lemmy.ca, and kbin.social) if it bothers you enough to want to leave.

PCIsBetterThanConsolesInLiterallyEveryWay just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

Lol you said it, not us

Go back to reddit if you want to politicise everything

I definitely agree with Yahtzee that in retrospect the "PC Gaming Master Race" name didn't work out because the targets of the pejorative (as in elitist anti-console jackasses, not PC gamers as a whole) took it as an unironic badge of honour. "PC Gaming Dickslurp All-Stars" was funny.

It was funny then, and it's funny now.

You do know that rightwing fuckwits actively use people like you as a recruiting tool to show people examples of "how idiotic and heavy handed the left is" when giving them reasons to join up for their Hitlerjerk wank-ring organizations.

They literally make compilations of examples like this to create the narrative that the opposition has lost their minds and are coming for everyone's free speech with their cancel culture, and use this to argue that somehow nazism is clearly the reasonable choice in contrast.

And as ludicrous as that is, it actually works depressingly well.

A certain willingness to have a sense of humour is a worthwhile thing to have when online. Nobody is being threatened by a reference to a joke about the console wars and the PC Vs Console circlejerk.

Plus, I have a really good gaming rig, and I tell you, those console peasants have it coming anyway. :P

Be gone, console peasants!

Uhh if the posts here are anything to go by, a lot of the people who subscribe, or at least pay attention to the posts on here are right wing and so possibly actual racists, if not nazis. So maybe leave them this space so they can out themselves?
