What a bigoted statement. So, metaphors should no longer be used? If I can afford to write this metaphor, having lost my brother 3 months ago, I don't really get it how people are so sensitive about metaphors, even if they are a bit too strong.

I welcome metaphors but your use was...well, shit. You basically dropped the word cancer in there then moved on without fleshing out the thought. And just because you've lost someone doesn't make it less offensive. You're comparing your first world problems to a crippling illness. I might be bigoted but you're a petty child in my eyes.
Although I don't agree with this way of thinking, I acknowledge that some people may find a metaphor offensive. For that, I removed mine, but I hope people will start understanding when words are meant to be offensive and when it's just humour or metaphors.
