Hello PCMR community!

On July 13th, we asked the community for your opinion if you would like to change the name of this community.

Results of the Survey :

  • Yes - 28.1%
  • No - 71.9% (winner)

Of the 1,201 responses received, we as a community have democratically decided that we should not change the name from PC Master Race. I am grateful to our community for your input, as this was a difficult topic to navigate together.

If you would like to review the history of this, please check out this post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1430610

We’ll pin this post for some time and then consider adding a bullet into the sidebar for this Community to help stave off further discussions around this topic as the community has already decided collectively.

Kind regards,

    I hate the 2020s. Can we just go back a couple years, back when meme pages didnt have sticks up their arses?

      I mean, people were saying the same thing when it became not cool to call someone a gay slur for fun. Language evolves, and with it, what is acceptable evolves.

      I personally am not offended by PC Master Race, but I also don’t give a fuck about the name, so what’s it really gonna hurt rebranding?

      Honestly don’t get the attachment. Not like it’s particularly clever or anything.

        It’s kind of my take as well, personally don’t really care but that in turn means I also don’t really care for a change.

        But it also appears like a lot of people espouse the ‘who cares about this’ with a strong slant of simultaneously defending the status quo. I honestly felt the same when there was the whole master -> main phrasing change in a lot of git repository hosters.
