Maybe you should consider whether or not it’s a good idea to publicly identify as such?

It would not be unreasonable to e.g. fire someone for making these sorts of statements. Most people exist outside of your 4chan-adjacent subculture and probably wouldn’t be very understanding of someone identifying themselves as a member of the master race.
Except for the more than 99% of non-gamers who don’t hang out on boards like /v/?
I’m not accusing anyone of being a Nazi, just pointing out that outside of a very specific subculture this is a very risky joke (and not a particularly funny one in any context).
You probably wouldn’t call people -fags (newfag, macfag, eurofag, etc…) either, even though “master race” carries far worse connotations than “fag”.
Welcome to the Internet?
I’m not trying to criticize anyone, just offering a friendly reminder that letting these injokes leak outside of 4chan or reddit can have unfortunate consequences since most people won’t be as understanding as you or me.
I think the term is a bit more normalized than you make it out to be.
Godwin’s law isn’t about mentions of Nazis, but specifically about using them in analogies.

Edit in response to your edit:
> GP compares gamers to right wing ideologues. QED
It really doesn’t, there’s no suggestion that gamers are similar to right wing ideologues.
The comment just points out the fact that a specific group of gamers has decided to borrow Nazi terminology for the name of their group, it does not imply that the gamers and nazis are similar or even somehow comparable.
This is an understandable mistake, Godwin’s law is frequently abused.
The man himself has frequently criticised people for abusing his “law” in the way you’re doing now.
