Using autism and cancer in comments and as a derogatory term...

[JowyAtreides]

It's impossible to police speech in a global game as different countries have different laws when it comes to what is considered hate speech.
In some countries, disability is considered a protected attribute therefore any derogatory comments around autism are actionable in the eyes of the law. In other countries it is not.

I empathise with the OP on this, however the best way to deal with things is to go to the root source and simply ask they don't use that meme again and explain why that particular thing bothers you. That way you deal with the situation, hopefully educate someone about tolerance and don't get called a snowflake on a public forum (wrongly in my opinion but hey ho, "it is the Internet").

That would be the wisest solution but for the posts you can read there is not much interest on their part to change their word choices, so for you and someone else who would try to help would be a waste of time and energy.
They prefer to win the reasoning and continue stuck to the same old slurs and jokes about illness and conditions so not much we can do about it on the virtual world.

We approached Godwin's Law pages ago, but it was nice to see it get in a victory lap. No, really.

Whatever floats your boat be happy and have fun!
