Platino Master Race is similar to the term 'PC Master Race' in which PC gamers refer to PC gaming as superior and use the antonym 'Console Peasants' to distinguish gaming console players. Platino means Platinum and it refers to the Platinum trophy rewards received on the Playstation 3 & Playstation 4 platforms when beating a video games collection of bronze, silver and gold trophies. Platino Master Race refers to the very specific demographic of Trophy Hunters on the Playstation platform. It was first invented by a Youtube celebrity called Arion Evangelist who used the name 'Platino Master Race' for his trophy guides Youtube channel and this later developed onto the 'Platino Master Race' website where platinum trophy guides are taught publicly and free to all. The term is now frequently used on platforms such as Youtube and Twitch to describe Trophy Hunting gaming communities.
