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

No. Being a native and getting offended by Red skin because you dont know the origin of the expression is same as being offended to be called Negro because you dont know it simply means Black in spanish.

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

Why on earth would that be offensive in it's target market? It's probably already happened.

I swear, you guys get more worked up thinking of ways people MIGHT get offended than actually realizing no one will be offended by your absurd artificial scenario?

They are both fairy offensive terms in english. You know, that language most of us speak stateside.

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

See my post pointing out the difference two posts above yours.

Yes. Let us all be as offensive as possible.

We had another word for "PC" when I was growing up. One that hadn't morphed into it's own swear word.

It was called manners.

But forget that. Lets ignore this terrible name and say "yay, I love shity engrish when it's rude!"

@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.

I got it. Shame the hatred of Political Corectness police or whatever they think is happening here exceeds the actual reading skill.

We live in such times, that I`m scared to paint the walls in my house to `white`.

That's honestly on you more than anything.

Jesus christ, why do I bother... why do I even come here for that matter.

LOL is this why AMD stopped making “black edition” processors?

RCoon · Oct 30, 2018

That naming scheme never should have made it past the first marketing trainee.

Black edition, yes. White edition, yes. White Gamer? Why not just call it Stephen who works at SubWay edition? Literally all I associate "White Gamer" edition with is some average white guy playing fortnite at 3am. It does not scream power, it does not scream "cool", it just screams "we had no idea what naming scheme to use cause we used all the slightly dumb ones already". Feels very much like a Friday night before closing decision.

micropage7 · Oct 30, 2018

And many brands using that words, gaming, gamers, overclock, and make their product looks wow although they OC it only 1%

dj-electric · Oct 30, 2018

Taiwanese marketing was never PC. They don't really know what being PC is, and thank goodness for it. Otherwise we wouldn't get moments like these.
It already to em a while to stop putting huge milkers on graphics card boxes.

Anymal · Oct 30, 2018

Omg, GTX Geforce is all about gaming, why so many gaming remarks. Gamer, Sniper,... ok, why the hell sniper, we are gamers, right? Black gamer, why not, Yellow gamer and Red gamer too.

Isn't GALAX based in Hong Kong? But I agree, Taiwanese marketing has little sense of PC, and our vocabulary is shockingly limited, so you will see the same set of words over and over again.

Xaled · Oct 30, 2018

They couldve avioded all this fuzz by just putting a black dude on the box...
but then they could ve angered the little whiney non-racist rich whitey dudes...

Well these Taiwanese guys werent out of words in the GPP case. when they made up different names for AMD cards even before GPP were started ....

They usually splurge for the all-white card including PCB for their Hall of Fame lineup: http://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/hof.html

Those cards are more white-ish, but still not 100% ALL white...nice try but ultimately still a big multi-colored fail IMHO

stimpy88 · Oct 30, 2018

Nice to see the NPC army continuing to find stuff to be mortally offended at.

ZoneDymo · Oct 30, 2018

Interesting how many people in this thread are totally offended at people being offended because they feel those people should not care.
Bit ironic.

Really, TPU, REALLY?! And more so, REALLY, @crazyeyesreaper, REALLY?!
You just single handedly threw TPU to the smelly pile of SJW-sites with this absolutely non-issue to anyone with even tinies bit of common sense left.

it is the media's job, to make something out of nothing. and it is our job not fall in in trap. just stop overracting and pulling thins to somewhere else

I'm part of the media myself, and our job is not to make something out of nothing, it's to make something out of something. Making something out of nothing is reserved for propaganda, which media can choose to be part of, but never should.

This is an editorial though. That's a whole different ethics code.

Perhaps, but if editorials don't set the political tone of a site, what would? And that's why it's important to stay neutral and out of propaganda like this
