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,

The Moderator Team

    🦆 what’s the name for the logical fallacy of incorrectly calling something “no true scotsman”

    I wasn’t making a generalisation about the identity of leftists, I was saying that “[PC enthusiasts using the term ‘master race’ to refer to themselves represents] no glorifying of Nazism” is not a leftwing position. this distinction is possible because “left wing” has definitions beyond just “what people who call themselves ‘leftwing’ think”, like promoting social equality, and fighting entrenched hierarchies.

    having some leftwing views (and taking leftwing actions, which, nice, thank you for your service, I’ve done a lot more than shout at someone, get teargassed, or go to a pride march, not saying you don’t get an opinion though…) doesn’t automatically make your support for using the term “master race” less rightwing.

    anyway, “I’m as left as I fucking want to be” is a lot less ridiculous a thing to say than “I’m as left as they come”.

      PS yes I know mitchell and webb, they’re not amazing, “are we the baddies” is definitely a lot better satire than “pc master race” tho.
