Why does everyone love this insult? I don't understand how people get so offended... Fair enough, cancer, but someone tells you to get cancer and you are offended... But if someone told you to die you aren't? Someone explain pls.

#IMLogic in my opinion.

Because cancer is a disease which ruins people life. People love to use it because they assume they're funny.

'Get cancer' is more offensive than 'die', because it is more detailed and personal.

Cancer is seen as a widespread killer.

But I still don't understand it... Players tell each other to die and no one is offended, as soon as it comes to saying cancer people cry.

I've lost family to cancer and yes, it isn't funny... But people need to grow a pair, you have a high probability of getting cancer.

You'll understand when someone close to you get's it, and in the end even dies because of it. I actually saw my aunt dieing because of it; and it's no fun.

You may not understand it but that is the reason. It is more detailed and personal. The more detailed/personal an insult is, the more offended the person is bound to get. Not to mention realistic insults. Truth hurts.

I do understand it, I was at my grans deathbed when she died of cancer... But someone telling you to get cancer won't give you cancer.

Calling you a "downsyndrome brainfucked twat" won't make you a downsyndrome brainfucked twat, but it can still be construed as offensive.

Still... The word kanker itself isn't offensive, if you used cancer directly then I suppose it would be... I don't understand the retards of IM.

Insulting should be allowed unless taken personal. E.G Family members, the deceased. Nobody actually gives a fuck about being insulted or even take it to the heart just reporting because they're butthurt from other actions or generally dont like the person.Those who report for OOC insult are either immature or need to go play another game suited to thier age.

I don't understand kids who tell other players to get cancer, it's immature and retarded. If you really lost some family members due to cancer you wouldn't go around telling players to get cancer.

Kanker means cancer.

Cancer is the most common used curse word (when parents aren't around XD) in Holland.

If you say the word during class or anything you will get suspended etc.

Good point. I am slightly sensitive to maggots with these jokes, as I lost few family members because of cancer, and it isnt a joke for me because I saw what it does to a human being. It literally eats the life out of you. To the kids fucking arround with it, I really hope you get the chance to see what I saw.
