Cancer jokes aren't funny

Well first comes first, recently I've come across a point in my life where I got around to catching a certain "disease"

And it ends up I'm at risk for a lot of cancers, and just the other day I found weird lumps (which are probably cancerous)

I was just in a game where I was Yasuo and I flash q'ed onto a Vel'Koz but missed horribly and I typed in all "LOL" and he just instantly starts shit talking. I shit talk some games, some games I don't but for good reason (someones shit talking to me, or taunting me constantly and getting me upset).

It was fine, I told him it was just a game and to chillax and then the Rengar says something relating to cancer, and I'm like "not cool dude I possibly have cancer"

They start making a comeback and Vel'Koz taunts us with a "bb" (as in bye-bye I assume?)

So we get our comeback and say it back, and Rengar says "I hope your mom has cancer too"

Like that cuts deep man. I tell people they're shit or they suck at the game and all that silly stuff but I've never EVER told someone to kill themselves or get cancer or anything like that.

That shit really cuts deep, and no before it probably wouldn't of bothered me but now man I'm sitting here like what the hell makes someone say that? Do I make people feel like that when I say they're shit at the game?

I feel honestly horrible for ever being toxic knowing that I could make someone feel like this. I dont even know why I am Q_Qing to the League community, I'm just honestly upset over this and even my friends i nthe Skype call were like "shit thats not cool man we're sorry"

Cancer is serious stuff man

I am sorry you are going through a hard time. Saying mean things or being negative to teammates is not wise, because we never know what someone else is going through and if what we are typing can actually harm them. I try to be careful. I hope you get to feeling better and don't let other people get to you!

Honestly, I see where you're coming from but most of us here are probably teens and we don't exactly have the filter that most people grow up to have. I do agree that cancer is a serious thing but people who haven't had it don't know what it feels like. I have never had cancer but I can imagine how hard it must be because of my grandpa's experience with it. I hope you get better and I'll pray for you! (: -Cas

Well, technically, everyone already has cancer cells in them.
