In the migration to lemmy, this community’s admins have the chance to drop its startlingly racist name. Wasn’t funny back then, and it’s still not funny.
Why keep the nazi memorabilia around?

Too sensitive for internet, touch grass.
Console peasants are so sensitive these days.
Only someone from an inferior console race would suggest that
haha you got me! real racists sure do love joking about being proxy racists online :)
Not everything is about Nazis, not everything needs to be made about Nazis. It’s just a funny name.
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.
i would say the language of “glory” and “master races” have been pretty sufficiently captured by nazis, maybe take a look around you.
No it hasn’t. Stop randomly giving shit to Nazis.
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.
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.
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.
