Wot. Should we also stop saying things are cancer? I don't get it tbh
generically speaking yes i might encourage you to find a way to insult people without trivializing the experiences and loss of those suffering from the disease and their loved ones.
in the specific case where it is a descriptive metaphor and not an insult, e.g. “multiplies like cancer,” that’s probably fine. but if you’re using it as an insult, i for one will not come to your defense.
The Dutch are in shambles lmao
But I'm not sure how it trivializes it. Using it as an indicator of a bad thing is meant to indicate how much that thing sucks. You're calling things cancer because how much cancer sucks
have fun with that dawg. like i said, not coming to your defense. ✌️
How will I ever survive now lol
by all means continue to defend your right to an assholic behavior to those who have politely informed you how that behavior is hurtful
i will not stop you because it makes you look like a really good person
I am so relieved
