what's with everyone calling fandoms and people "cancerous" and "cancer" these days? it makes people seem so overly dramatic that it's hard to take what they're saying seriously even when they have a valid point

Because they grow at a disproportionately fast rate compared to the healthy portions of fandom and take over, strangling the natural functions of a fandom. Like a cancer.

That actually makes sense. Though comparing assholes in fandom to a disease that actually kills people still seems a bit melodramatic to me.

It's resulted in suicide attempts, so I guess it still works? I mean, I don't THINK anyone's actually died yet but it hasn't been from lack of effort.

I've seen people who've actually lost important people to cancer get really uncomfortable when the word "cancer" is used in these kinds of contexts, so I personally don't like to do it. (I was pretty young when my aunt had cancer and then died, so it probably didn't affect me quite as much as it affected most of my family and relatives, but I remember it being a pretty harsh time for everyone, and I can imagine that a lot of people who've been through that - or who've battled cancer themselves, for that matter - wouldn't want to be reminded in this manner...)
