I've always found the "master race" moniker on Reddit subs really offputting/distrubing. Why repeat that here? It could just as easily be called "PC Enthusiast" or something totally normal.

Neat history, I guess? Still seems to be an abhorrent label to self identity with.

The justification behind it is deeply unserious

Does that make it better or worse to keep using it?

Worse, I should've been more clear.

They're using a reddit piss match from a nearly a decade ago to justify the use of a disgusting piece of language.
