Why repeat the "master race" nonsense? (lemmy.ml)

I've always found the "master race" moniker on Reddit subs really offputting/distrubing. Why repeat that here? It could just as easily be called "PC Enthusiast" or something totally normal.

Just going to tell the story that I broke one of the cardinal rules of PCMR by drunkenly pointing out the origin of "master race" when someone in a PCMR thread was going on about some other group being offensive and how PCMR was so much better.

It's always been tongue in cheek; it's meant to be a statement that PCs are superior to consoles. At a certain point it seems like PCMR just turned into talking about PCs. And that's fine. The sticky thing about it is, if it's not about jokingly talking about PCs being superior, does it need to be PCMR? On the other hand it's dang near a brand at this point. Can you move a PCMR audience over to something else entirely?
