Glorious PC Master Race was originally coined mocking PC users superior complex, according to the person who coined it.

Bringing this trash over from reddit and sticking to the device war theme and the nazi symbolism is pathetic.

Hopefully this instance goes the same way the other nazi instances have.

    Whoooooosh. There goes the joke over OP’s head.

    But sure, I vote we change it to Mustard. It’s not like folks with six brain cells could be any more confused at this point.

      The majority of participants on the subreddit embraced the idea, the satire gave way and it was a flood of legitimate hatred towards consoles and console users.

      It’s similar to what happened to the incel and anti-work communities.

        I haven’t seen that here but I know what you mean in the anti-work community. To me, it’s a call for better moderation. That behavior shouldn’t be tolerated. I feel like way too often decent folks are asked to bear the burden of changes that accommodate bad actors, which IMO is backwards. The way forums were traditionally run was that posters with the nasty, hateful attitudes would get kicked/banned.
