Once again, the term 'cancer' or 'cancerous' has been used in this way, as a metaphor for really bad, destructive, insidious and malignant things, for a very long time. It is not a new, internet based phenomenon, there is nothing at all offensive about it being used in this way, and there is absolutely no way its use will ever translate into violence against cancer sufferers.
Please stop conflating it with the use of autism in this way, you're only showing how naive you are.
