because regardless of its history, at best it’s been co-opted by hateful people (IE the locked thread) and at its worse it’s a dog whistle for authoritarian/racist behavior.

Well, that sounds nice, but you seem to have forgotten to bring literally anything to back up any of that.

At no point in time do I remember going onto r/pcmasterrace and thinking "wow, this place turned into a rightwing shithole, where did all of the nazis come from?".

Just because you say that everything's been co-opted doesn't mean that it has just because you don't like the name for arbitrary reasons.

This whole thing is an argument about nothing.
