The word “Master Race” is clearly equivalent to terms which were used by Nazis and so are today’s far right wing and alt-rights.
There are other communities which created similar narratives, especially from the 4chan side, and I think the origin of “PC Master Race” comes from there.
I actually agree… the name does make me uncomfortable :I
Jesus christ. People go out of their way to be offended by the most non-offensive shit these days.
This is just cringe. You realize the term “master race” in this context is derived from “PC master race” which in turn was coined as part of the console gamers vs. PC gamers rivalry, i.e. the “console ‘tards” vs. “PC gamer master race”… sigh…
This take is as cringy as gamergate, TBH.
The name is actually poking fun at both the concept of believing in the existence of a master race and the users themselves. It’s not because the creators or users of the community actually think they’re the master race of OS preference.
Calm down.
It’s “tongue in cheek”. What you’re implying, is all of the comedy and parodies of nazis, or the KKK throughout history is actually supporting them? No, it’s making them smaller, and smaller, and completely laughable.
Perhaps we should rename it to Linux-Care-Bears. You can be Overly-Sensitive-Bear, or Whoosh-Bear.
