now that large groups of Nazi exist and are visible, is PC master race offensive


It makes light of the Nazi idea of the ubermensch; jokingly referring to gamers who play on PC as being the ubermensch.
But in light of Nazi gaining traction again I think this joke needs to be retired.

Agree or disagree?

Not yet.
Someone has to be offended and start throwing a tantrum on twitter first, then get echoed around various blogs, then get exposure on a news channel.

PC Master Race will only be offensive when it ceases to be true. So probably never.

@Mernardi
like many who use this joke might have thought the way pewdiepie did before the events last week

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/75679191

"I remember back when everything happened in February, I was sort of like, 'I mean, they're just jokes. There's not actual Nazis out there, what are you talking about?' And then I look at this, and I'm like, 'Oh, I see. OK!'"



When we joke about PC master race we do so with the idea that there isn't a huge group of people literally advocating for a real master race. But that has changed.

There arent large numbers of Nazis.

As I've said before, knights in Springfield and Boston said the events aren't racist. They're called free speech rallies for a reason.

How many of them are active at places like this where such a phrase would be used?

Why would a proud member of such a vilified group lie?

Because they want to be seen as the good guys and it is hard for that to happen if you actually say you are racist. Better to claim you are not and get accused of being it since then you can play the victim.

It is all the people who are not in their group or are in the group that would call them racist no matter what that are important though. To gain their support, regardless of if the group is racist or not, they'd say they are not racist.
