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,

EDIT 30-Aug-2023:
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
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).
You realize this name isn't new, right? The poll was to keep the name, not switch to it. If it attracts a certain type of people, they've been attracted this whole time.
Plus the subreddit this community is based on is old af
Quite likely older than the one offended by it.
Yeah it's not new and neither is embracing the right wing basement dweller crowd
It also literally makes fun of it. There is no glorifying of Nazism, it comes from a Zero Punctuation video making fun of PC elitists. Y’all really need to go touch grass.
Fuck I’m as left as they come, even marched in a Pride parade IN FUCKING IDAHO no less this year. And even I see the joke. For fucks sake people.
Stop it. Get some help
Cya
Touch grass, nerd
