That term was solely coined by the Nazis. He is right in criticizing it. Using faschist terminology like this waters it down and helps fascist to claim their spaces in the middle of society all while normalizing their ideology.

Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation is a nazi? Cause that's who coined the term.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

I think they refer to the original term

But should also be noted that Yahtzee used the term to parody the snootyness of PC gamers. But they then started to use it unironically

Then why are you shitting on me? Go rag on Musk then.

You’re here and he’s not.

Jesus. I was not shitting on you, I was just sharing my point of view and argueing that words create realities.

[–] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe think for a bit about whether you really want to defend your use of that term or not.

If you are linking every word with Nazis then yes you need help.

Nazis used racial superiority, i said it because PCs are better than consoles.

I couldn't give a shit about racial "superiority", that's little dick energy.

Also if you want to face Nazis then please by all means go attack Musk, ICE agents, Netenyahu, Putin, Xi or any of the others that are committing crimes this very moment and show how brave you are then!

If you think you are a big "Nazi fighter" because you called me out for saying PC master race you should then go Google a bit about real Nazi fighters, those people were real fighters even while being brutally tortured and murdered.
