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?

    Yeah, agreed.

    Most people probably used to see it as mocking fascism (and the tendencies of brand/ecosystem fanboys to act like little tyrants) but these days I’m pretty sure they (the actual fascists) just welcome the free publicity.

    Also, fuck Nazis.

    Agreed, it is a missed opportunity to drop that stinky reference and move on. I’m not offended by the name, i can live with it, but it’s just cringe.

    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.
