Why repeat the "master race" nonsense? (lemmy.ml)

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.

The justification behind it is deeply unserious

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

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Your meaning would've been clear in almost any other context, but in this case I could just imagine someone saying "it's not a serious justification, just chillax bro, we just like it". Or something equally asinine.
