What would you be pointing them to if it's not called c/pcmasterrace? "Hey, go check out c/pc"? There are already multiple PC gaming communities across the various Lemmy instances.
Either this community exists, or it doesn't. Those who are of the opinion that it shouldn't exist should probably just move along.
I'm bad at coming up with names, but anything that evokes "is best" that isn't "master race" would work.
Here are some probably bad examples:
But the joke is "we're part of the Glorious PC Master Race", not "PC is best". That's some 5 year old bibble-babble bullshit.
The reality is that this community will either exist as c/pcmasterrace, or it simply won't exist.
My point though is that the implications of both phrases is the same.
"We are part of the glorious PC Master Race" = "We are part of a group of humans who understand PCs are better than any alternative"
One's more extreme with a stained past (regardless of how subjectively cringey it may sound), the other is not.
And calling ourselves a “master race”, no matter how much in jest isn’t funny. It screams edgelord gamer and has a ton of racist dog whistles.
Personally I’d rather the community not exist at all. It’s downright cringe and hasn’t been funny ever.

PCElitism, because that's pretty much what it is. Alternatively, PCRules
