It is the overall softening of language when these things become jokes and widely spoken in unrelated contexts. It makes it harder to actually combat this shit.

And believe me, gamergate has proven that gamers need a serious reality check.

I don't really feel like elaborating because that might cross into rule breaking territory, and this thread is about a funny parody video.

*words like "theory" and using numbers makes it seem scientific!

Now, the internet makes much more sense. If people are saying it like "I agree with you also lol Nazis," like I believe Narc is saying, I understand things better. The subreddit makes a bit more sense. I thought it was like "we're absolutely PC assholes and we're going to play it up," but it just seemed like PC gamers.

I also fully and completely believe anything said with irony is repeated without irony by some people; even this kind of stuff.

..but I think the problem is now is that people are referencing it as if Croshaw's "PC Master Race" was the first instance of it, and wasnt intended to be ironic.

So now it's supposed to be seen as a kind of joking, ironic intolerance, you know, instead of actual, murderous intent intolerance.

Point is taken, though-- and I think it doesn't add anything to the video, other than helping the line scan properly. I imagine a better way could have been found to do that.

Is this phrase used as anything but ironic shaming of those claiming superiority because of a value judgment?

I'm assuming you're talking about 'Master Race'.

That phrase has been used several dozen times (for all three classes) on this forum alone - and as far as I can tell, you haven't complained once.

But now it bugs you in a parody song?

Okay.

I have used the term in the past… but somewhat recently I've come around and have had some difficulty with it.

Interesting. Missed that reply - sorry.

Don't think I agree with your stance, but I'm happy (happier) with the consistency. ;)
