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,

Due to some of the recent targeted attacks against Lemmy.world, I noticed that the image I shared with this post was purged from their servers.
Here’s a new screenshot of the results for posterity: https://i.postimg.cc/jqNg5gWx/pcmrsurvey.png

The fact this poll was necessary makes me really sad
PC Monetary Regret
I don’t regret a single dollar thank you very much
Damn I missed it. Glad most of us (more precisely 71.9% of us) have good taste.
Long live PCMR
For all the people that don’t understand where there name of the community came from, here is the video that started it all: https://youtu.be/P0dXtOVi2yo?si=Vlxetg3tmkjWGE70
Good for you, gamers. We programmers have lost the master branch forever.
Good riddance. Main branch master race. And I’m a vim user, so I usually love archaic bullshit
TF is that browser?!
Firefox with a theme applied
My God, this is still going on. I’m still having trouble comprehending whether this is just a very elaborate parody. The term “master race” is not in any way offensive and even if it is (to a small amount of people) they are perfectly within their right to be offended, but not to ban other people from using it.
Have not been there to see the discussion, but I have been seeing the shift the last couple years in tech on termonology.
Branch Names: master -> main
Distributed Systems: master/slave -> primary/secondary
Security: Blacklist/Whitelist -> Blocklist/Allowlist
I kinda noticed the first one, but didn’t think it had anything to do with taking offense. The second one I haven’t noticed at all as well as the third one (the third one is especially bullshit in my opinion).
I hate the 2020s. Can we just go back a couple years, back when meme pages didnt have sticks up their arses?
Well, this is kinda gross. Missed the poll, but pretty disappointed with the results. The big swell of tongue-in-cheek nazi jokes to go along with it is really telling and discomforting.
Anyways, good luck with the crowd you’re about to attract, and see ya on the other side of an instance block (or not, rather).
Touch grass, nerd
PC MASTER RACE ANTHEM
Yeah, go ahead and keep the nazi verbiage. That’s helping the image.
I don’t think most people get that it was originally denigration of the elitist attitudes some PC players had and Yahtzee was making fun of them. And yet they use his imagery still. Y’all are bafflingly obtuse…or perhaps like the comparison? Can’t tell which is worse.
