    To be fair, there is a difference of definition between "this gave me cancer" and "this is cancerous", because no, this fight/dungeon did not "give you cancer" and it's not funny to say it. To say a "fight/dungeon is cancerous" is actually probably a reasonable summary and there is no reason for anyone to be annoyed by it.

    You can't change the way a language is spoken.
    I think you will find there are laws in many countries that disagree with you. I can only speak from my knowledge of European countries but in specifically the UK, derogatory expressions toward someone's colour, race, disability, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, gender or sexual orientation is forbidden.

    Autism falls under the above criteria.

    This I believe is not the case in the US?

    Hence one of many reasons we have different data centers and should probably extend to forums, otherwise we will have divisive threads.

    Which is a shame, because a global community has so many benefits.
