Uh, I've seen a lot of pushback against "master race" jokes lately. What's the deal with that? Are they offensive? I never really got the joke anyways...

@AliZe_1998Yeah but now that I know what it means, I don't think I'm very okay with "ironically" using Nazi terminology.

@hikaruaikawa @AliZe_1998 the wikipedia page about 'PC Master Race' describes it quite well. I don't think anyone who uses it actively and purposefully condones Nazism, it's mostly a tongue in cheek term https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Master_Race

@aetiosI get where you're coming from, but my issue with it isn't that people are purposefully condoning Nazism with it, it's that people are normalizing Nazi terminology, ironically or not. I don't feel very comfortable with that.

@hikaruaikawa @aetios If we stopped using words and phrases because someone in particular used them at one point we'd have a pretty limited language tbh
