In the migration to lemmy, this community’s admins have the chance to drop its startlingly racist name. Wasn’t funny back then, and it’s still not funny.

Why keep the nazi memorabilia around?

    I mean, haven’t you heard the discussions around PC vs Console?

    It’s a tongue-in-cheek commentary of the vitriol surrounding that discussion, at least that was my take.

      Exactly, it’s also from a classic yahtzee video. If your first thought when you hear this in very clear context is nazi crap over a pretty funny piece of gaming history then that sounds like a you problem, nobody should actually be offended by something as benign as this. If anything even if that is somehow the case, nazis should be laughed at and made fun of instead of holding ‘their words’ in some hush-hush revered taboo state. Just by making stupid threads like these and calling attention to it you’re giving them way too much power over you than they deserve to have.
