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

I sincerely hope they don't.

This thread already allowed me to identify a handful of people who I made a note not to piss on if I ever find them on fire in an otherwise dark alley, and the more of those we identify early and possibly ban for being screeching morons the better.

Especially the "this made me realise this is not a community I want to be part of" crowd, who were so upset with the name they decided to

  • Join this community whose presentation they knew upfront wasn't up to their stellar ethical standards.
  • Demand it be changed to suit them.
  • Threw a shitfit when they didn't get what they want.

And to those people I say: that language is very telling. You were never a member of this community, if you were the name would not have deterred you one bit, if anything it would have been the reason you found this place. No, you were making an attempt at subverting this community and I am glad you failed.

That's precisely what bans for off topic or banned topics are for 👍
