    I’m sorry, but this is a ridiculous discussion. What would you change the name to? PCGaming? Then go subscribe to that community.

    Why would you subscribe to this community if you have a problem with its name?

    “PC Master Race” is just a joke and a meme. That’s it.

    The term “The Glorious PC Gaming Master Race” was used as an ironic expression to describe PC Gamers by game reviewer and comedic writer “Yahtzee” on a review for The Witcher.

      ”PC Master Race” is just a joke and a meme. That’s it.

      You say that but just an hour or so ago, I used this community (ok, I was talking about the subreddit) alongside the Flat Earth Society, and The Donald subreddit, as examples of communities that started as jokes but then people started joining unironically and promoting the toxicity that was being made fun of to begin with.

      Personally, I’ve had /r/PCMR blocked for years now, so I have no idea if it’s as toxic as it used to be. I’ll wait until I see evidence one way or the other before deciding to add this community to my block list. But I just wanted to point out that, at least for a while, the joke of this community got very much so out of hand.
