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

Assuming this post stays up, guess I'll start.

(Edit: first off, the question is easy to misread, and I voted the opposite of my intent. So I voted twice in my intended intent to offset it)

I voted yes because I fully recognize it's a joke, but I also fully recognize it's a joke in poor taste.

I watched Yahtzee religiously back in the day, laughed at this specific joke, and thought it was odd a community adopted the name.

I'd also like to point people to this community without awkward introductions.

What would you be pointing them to if it's not called c/pcmasterrace? "Hey, go check out c/pc"? There are already multiple PC gaming communities across the various Lemmy instances.

Either this community exists, or it doesn't. Those who are of the opinion that it shouldn't exist should probably just move along.

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.

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.
