Meh, the other sub on reddit was just fine. They helped and supported console transition. But I do agree, we shouldn't let this turn into a huge circle jerk

I honestly think that you fundamentally miss the point.

Well, considering our banner already mentions peasants and pc superiority, I think we're going to have a hard time with that.

I have to agree here. While a bit of a laugh every once in a while is nothing bad, the PCMR has got a horrible reputation for putting people down which we really need to get rid of. It should be a fact that PC is better, not that consoles are worse. For me, PCMR is all about giving people the power to choose a platform which offers the freedom (and let's face it, raw power) that PC gaming does. Immediately calling anyone who's ever touched a console a filthy peasant is not going to convert them to our cause.

I think that the 'peasant' shaming should be made more obvious in jest. Like I know people that actually really look down on console gamers, can't we just be more introducing and welcoming to the community if they are interested, and hate on more broad-spectrum issues (such as all those stupid petitions to make some games truly console exclusive) and less about the people?

Eh, I think just toning down on the shitposting would be the only change I'd like to see.

Totally agree. I hate all the gaben/circlejerking stuff. Often it felt like people would hate everything console related... untill it came out on pc then cry about how awesome it was, It always felt like a double standard to me. Sure I dont have any current gen consoles, pc all the way. but does that stop me saying at E3 I saw some cool PS4 exclusives? Nope. There were some and I wish I could play them (but wont be unless they some how get a port) but all the hate is just toxic IMO.

Yeah PCMR is for those who have already ascended, not those who are trying to.

That would be boring though. It's pc master race. Snark is right there in the title. We'd just be buildapc or something if we got rid of all the making fun of peasants.

That is a good point but I still think we could at the very least improve our community. We will still probably make fun of peasants because I don't see this as a complete cahnge in what we post, I just don't want that to be the only thing we post about. Instead posts could be about cool moments we have in gaming which could only happen on PC. It could also incorporate more news into the sub (although I don't know how well that would fit).

Be careful with making fun of peasants let's not make this as bad as religion. We are all gamers we should feel no bitterness or jealousy towards them just because they enjoy playing on a child's toy, we have all enjoyed console gaming in the past, split screen was the highest point in console evolution. We should feel sorry for them that their lives and decisions are made for them by big companies and marketing. We are fighting the marketing not the humans. Remember that when choosing what to make fun of.
