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

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.

My point though is that the implications of both phrases is the same.

"We are part of the glorious PC Master Race" = "We are part of a group of humans who understand PCs are better than any alternative"

One's more extreme with a stained past (regardless of how subjectively cringey it may sound), the other is not.

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.
