  • because regardless of its history, at best it’s been co-opted by hateful people (IE the locked thread) and at its worse it’s a dog whistle for authoritarian/racist behavior.

    Well, that sounds nice, but you seem to have forgotten to bring literally anything to back up any of that.

    At no point in time do I remember going onto r/pcmasterrace and thinking “wow, this place turned into a rightwing shithole, where did all of the nazis come from?”.

    Just because you say that everything’s been co-opted doesn’t mean that it has just because you don’t like the name for arbitrary reasons.

    This whole thing is an argument about nothing.


  • I get what you’re saying, sure. But I don’t see how they’ll remotely end up less pissed off if you take the situation as it already is and then revoke their “rights” to use social media.

    This is just going to make a lot of really angry people a lot more angry.

    Plus, I can guarantee you that people actually organizing on social media will immediately switch to some non-blocked online means of doing so. Trying to handle that would be an impossible game of whack-a-mole.
