Too sensitive for internet, touch grass.

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.

This is why I hate internet left wingers. You're no better than the guys on Voat. Go touch grass.

Strangle ,

I don’t know what vlout is, but I agree

Internet left wingers need to bring their politics into EVERYTHING. Such whiners, it’s embarassing.

Just have a fucking sense of humor

Blamemeta ,

Basically reddit, but filled with the kind of people who got banned from Reddit. Full of right wing people.

Strangle ,

Sounds like my people!

y'all getting politically defensive when someone calls out or expresses any concern about racism is a tell dude. It's just revealing how enabled & triggered y'all are by this.

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

Contramuffin ,

This is the correct response. The other comments saying that "the name being a Nazi reference isn't that big of a deal" is missing the point. Because it's not a Nazi reference.

It's just a self-aware joke about elitism in PC enthusiasts.

That doesn't remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it's genuinely a dumb hill to die on.

Human stupidity is infinite, there's no point catering to it.

ceeg OP ,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) "master race" is definitionally about race and the use of that social categorization to commit genocide; the concept of race and so-called "race science" are not really funny tbh

I'm in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.

ceeg OP ,

def def!!! <3

ceeg OP ,

i would say the language of "glory" and "master races" have been pretty sufficiently captured by nazis, maybe take a look around you.

Blamemeta ,

No it hasn't. Stop randomly giving shit to Nazis.

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.

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.

meldrik , in Why keep the nazi name for this community

Be gone, console peasants!

Nanno , in Why keep the nazi name for this community

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

@zaph@lemmy.world avatar

So far fetched the tech industry has been working to get rid of master/slave and blacklist/whitelist for years. Definitely just OP noticed tho

Aux , in Why keep the nazi name for this community

Go back to Reddit with this logic.

RandomlyAssigned , in Why keep the nazi name for this community

Only someone from an inferior console race would suggest that

ceeg OP ,

haha you got me! real racists sure do love joking about being proxy racists online :)

FishSoupy , in Why keep the nazi name for this community

Lol you said it, not us

Go back to reddit if you want to politicise everything

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.

Really nice job! Looks great

@wolii1@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you :)

MelastSB , in I wouldn't believe it if it didn't happen to me

Your PC had a bug

funkless ,

literally the origin of the term - that bugs (literally) used to get into computers and mess them up
