Editorial GALAX GeForce EX OC "White Gamer" Series: Epic Product Name Fail

[Punx223]

@T4C Fantasy its all good man apparently most people just read titles and maybe the first paragraph.

The jokes are lost on the many, and calling attention to the absurdity of gaming everything was apparently lost as well. Some people obviously got it. Some didn't, haters going to hate.

Nothing to hate... and no jokes are lost on me at least... had the post been delivered as satirical, I would understand but it obviously had a very strong lead in with the "clickbaity" hope to become viral.... now you just try to play it off as a joke when in reality you sully the name of what it is to be a journalist.

I myself write editorials and reviews regularly which is why I find great disdain for those who call dribble such as this an editorial.

I have no want or desire for your position as I pride myself on writing quality content.

You should be Ray..

I've been designing and improving products for companies for over a decade... along with reviewing for just as long.

I'm glad you finally came around

BTW by "Multiple companies" do you mean one chinese based company and their AIO which you gave them feedback?

I assumed multiple meant more than one

Working with multiple companies now.
Mostly testing performance variance between factories, redesigns and updates for improved performance. Nothing amazing but it pays the bills.

But hey if you want to start a pissing match I am game got nothing better to do waiting on benchmarks to complete.

 

[Ferrum Master]

You could do both PM actually... quit swinging your epeens like that....

It is a case of foreign culture and language. As I said most of the world actually doesnt split a hair about that.

But for cracking up a joke. It doesn't do harm.

Well im presently watching the Maximus XI Extreme run some benchmarks which is why I'm even entertaining this further.

I like waving my epeen around... I figure if Christians can shove their religion down my throat, I can.... wait, bad analogy.

That is the perfect analogy

Oh NO!
One of my sons is going to be here in November to visit. He's a USAF Chaplain and after reading this post, I'm conflicted!

You see,.....my Vega 64 GPU is a RED DEVIL.

Agree, it is a precise analogy .

Well, what do you expect when white gamers leave their liquor laying around?

Gamer Whites, Leave their liquor around... damn inflammatory posts...

 

[Vya Domus]

Would have "Black Gamer" be more empowering ?

What a joke all this is.

I can understand why the name can be seen offensive.

Well, I can't. And I bet no one would be able to give even a half-assed explanation on why "white gamer" is offensive without embarrassing themselves with absurd and ridiculous arguments. And that's why this keeps cropping up, the proper answer should be : "No, I don't understand why this is offensive and you have no idea what you are talking about. Find something more productive to do with your time."

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

a rather tiny error has gotten them in hot water, eh? XDD

 

[R-T-B]

Total non issue.

The only people that get offended by this are millennials, snowflakes, feminists and people who more than likely sat a gender studies course in university -- In fact, ive most likely already offended some people by offering my opinion...

Do you not see how these two paragraphs directly contradict eachother?

"Total non issue... except to people who comprise a large group I disagree with."

EVGA uses the word "black" in the names of it's cards all the time but I don't see any tears about sit.

It's the adjective. Call it "black gamer" for an instant offensive name.

Seriously, this is neither a big deal nor rocket science... They deserve flack for being a dumb name. How'd you feel about a "BIOSTAR White Master Race" Motherboard? They've referenced racing before and honestly, that's pretty stupid too. We should mock all this shit.

This is why companies supposedly have a PR department.

Someone forgot the whole point of editorials...

 

[Prima.Vera]

God forbidden using a naming in other language than English, let's say Spanish, for a "Gamer Black" Brand, for example...

 

[btarunr]

So is the EVGA RTX 2070 Black a......"black card" ? Feel persecuted without the factory OC privilege?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Just call it Obsidian (for black) or Ghost (for white) and avoid all of the racist connotations. EZPZ

Careful now, you won't get your cut of the casino profits.

 

[lexluthermiester]

TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGERED!

Nah who ever gets offended by this have too much free time on their hands, or too few grey matter in their brains.

Honestly I think media has been giving too much attention to a tiny amount of political extreme population. It just fanning the flames for the sake of attracting eyeballs.

Right? This article is about a video card and naming thereof. Why is there any level of SJW political talk at all? Seriously.

I like this card. The color scheme will go well with similar cases and mobo color schemes. Especially with LED lighting. It'll like very cool. Couldn't care less about the name, as long as it looks good and performs well they can put whatever they want on the box.

I'm a native American (aboriginal) and I'm offended about not having RED cards. You supreme white settlers go back where you belong and bring your black playas with you!!!! (Trying to imitate Alabama accent)

Wait, wouldn't you be more offended of they were red?

 

[hat]

What if it's the graphics card that's supposed to be the white gamer? It's white, there's the white part, and it's produced for/targeted to computer gamers, who run games on their computer hardware, so the graphics card would be processing games, thus being a "gamer"? Is it possible to be racist against a graphics card?

 

[lexluthermiester]

Is it possible to be racist against a graphics card?

Also, is it possible to be a racist video card?

 

[E-Bear]

Also, is it possible to be a racist video card?

Maybe if the gpu breaks down. You know what they say "Once you go black you never come back"

 

[hat]

Also, is it possible to be a racist video card?

Probably, but some actual racism would have to be involved... in this case it's probably just a combination of trying to make a cool product some people might want (I remember a white motherboard some people seemed to like) and bad Engrish. "WHAT'S YOUR GAME? My game is GALAX."
