cancer is a term for something bad spreading in a fast rate... you know... like quest rogue or cancer, grow up and drop your censorchip. I am sure pretty much everyone by now knows people who have died to cancer, but not everyone is trying to censor entire communities based on confused guilt. 

I cannot forbid us to say what we want, and to use the slang words we like. Its an internet, deal with it.

Can't we make a clear rule that the word cancer or in any other form is forbidden ?

Last time I made a topic about the same thing I got a warning (there were pictures of what cancer actually is).

You can't change people, and most of them are senseless.

May we use the term unfair ?

Most of the comments here from what i see belong to 15 year olds who have had a very bad childhood.I had one aswell,but that made me grow and be mature instead of retarded people,who hate on the world.People like you say grow up,dont be so sensitive...People like you begin wars,steal,assault etc etc.Or you are just too damn spoiled to grasp how life works.

The world would just be so much better without you to be honest..keep living in your little hate bubble.But trust me when you stop,life will be just so much better.

My mother had survived cancer 3 years ago but as much as I get the point of the OP there is nothing we can do about it. Like many have said it is just a word on how to illustrate the thing(e.g Aggro Stuff)

You can tell in so many words you hate aggro decks right ? why do people need to be so small minded they only use cancer pirate deck for example...

So many words so many sentences can be used to tell people you dislike or hate pirate aggro decks....

 the word is actually just very insensitive to the many people suffering from it, to throw around in a hissy fit regarding a trivial game is just disgusting 

 Hissy fit is actually just very insensitive to many people that have been attacked or killed by hissing lizards. To just use that word to describing how insensitive other people are for using the word cancer is just really disgusting.

You can control language like you can control culture.

People fear cancer. It represents death, or evil in modern society. You might as well get used to people using 'offensive' terms in this way. In the past they might have been called 'the Devil's decks'. It's one of the way language develops over time. Is it kids using the term? Probably...this is the demographic that tends to drive progress (or degeneration, if you prefer) of language.

I bet 99% of this forum won't use the word cancer if his or her GF/BF has it.

Example: GF ask you what happend darling why are you upset ?, I'm losing because of this cancer rogue quest deck.  You just wont say that if she has cancer.

why in the world would you say that then in a forum ????

It's pretty clear this thread is never going to be constructive and has been open for too long. I think Asylum has a great answer that I'd like to end the thread with.

Also, OP, don't report your own posts to tell us to remove the word from the forum. That's abuse of the reports system.

I'm not going to lie, any time I see people using the term "cancer" for decks they don't like in a digital card game, I just assume they're in middle school or something. It's not that it's offensive to me personally or anything; it's just that it's so pointlessly hyperbolic that it comes across as lacking reasonable perspective and purely immature.
