Title: "Kanker"
Post by: Diva La Viva on March 02, 2011, 01:11:16 PM
Everyone... who is using the word, "kanker" as a swear or joke... has my disrespect.

"kanker" means cancer... and for a moment ago my mum had breast cancer, it was not a fun moment. The cancer was extremly agressive and it was a miracle she survived according to the doctors... anyway, the word cancer should not be used as a swear, joke. People usually says "f*uck off you kanker.." and dutch people say things like "ik zij ben blah blah kanker" wich means like, shut the f*uck up your cancer mum" <----- that was just a example, it doesn't mean that...
But it pisses me off, and as i said, for me it won't be tolerated and you'll lose my respect the rest of your life.

Just saying this, So wrong. No offense but just to point things out,
You're translating the dutch words wrong. It doesn't make sense.
As everyone knows Cancer is a bad disease. I feel sorry for anyone who is related to this. Also I disrespect people who swear with it.

Kanker is used in the dutch 'slang' language to make something sound worse.
Just like '(f)uck' in the English language. Only here kanker is chosen because of 2 things;
One, the word, without the meaning, sounds nice and offensive to say/shout.
Two, the word isn't really positive and you can actually really hurt someone with saying it.

I've been trying to watch this people who are offensive in the dutch language.
But there is never been taking action by the staff because there is no, and there is never been, a dutch (or other languaged) moderator.
Swearing in other languages doesn't make any sense to them..

Anyways, Please report any offensive actions in any languages and help worldscape to be clean! :)

Capz.

Well, there are many, MANY forms of cancer.
So it's not too uncommon.

Just a little much going off-topic.
By the way, I've been watching, only watching, people on the server.
There is allot of vulgar language. In any languages.
We should create a word-filter. Just like the one on Habbo hotel. I remember when I played it years ago, every time you said something bad, it showed Bobba.
Could be a good solution.
:D

In the days I been here, None of the staff member ever replied to me on my suggestions. So I stopped doing that. :)

Pfff, you still play it. XD

Yeah, I remember when you say "no ip" you got automatically muted, I was going to put it in suggestions with the word "Kanker" but they may just be talking about it. :S

I totally agree with this.
I have known someone with this disease.
Unfortunately this person did not make it, so I think it's terrible to use this word to either swear or make jokes.
If I see anyone saying this word without a proper reason or swearing with it I definitely report this person.
This is a terrible disease, not a word to shout with.
You also get my disrespect if you abuse this word.
