''"This thread gave me cancer."''

''"______ is the cancer that's killing /tg/."''

From the Greek noun 'karkinos' which meant both the hard-shelled crustaceans you find on the beach, and the hard cysts ("cankers") you find under your skin when you're infected with a plague. When the term is used on 4chan, it means a meme that the speaker fears will kill the host organism (ie. anyone who looks at it), and likely infect others to kill them as well, "degrading" a board and its community as a whole.

Just about anything can be called "a cancer," because [[butthurt]] fa/tg/uys will use extreme reactions as a first resort. Some ideas seem to attract this label more than others. Here's a short list:

* [[My Little Pony]] ([[skub|supporting or hating it]]; /tg/ just wants to get on with its fucking life)
** Any and all obsessive [[Homestuck|fandoms]], to a similar extent.
* [[Furries]]
* [[Cultist-chan]]
* [[FATAL|F.A.T.A.L.]] in general (though extracting humor from it is well and good)
* Lengthy, marathon discussions about [[Matthew Ward]], when everyone already knows how much he sucks, and ''why'', and [[/tg/]] just wishes it (and [[GW]]) could move on...
* The fights that break out when someone compares [[4E]] to other editions of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]
* [[Elf Slave, Wat Do?]] threads
* Tryhard "humor"
* "[[Stat me]]" threads
* "This is how I X" threads
* [[Quest]] threads
* [[Skub|Skub vs. Anti-Skub]] discussions by idiots who don't understand the [[meme]] involved
* Old memes, new memes, borrowed memes, blue memes
* [[/b/]], and /b/-related anything
* [[/pol/]] and /pol/-related anything
* [[8chan|/leftypol/]] and /leftypol/-related anything
* ''Using'' a lot of ''italics'' for ''emphasis.''
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh]]

===And to a Lesser Extent===
* Anything you hate about any site you are on, from your perspective
* Anything you like about any site you are on, from someone else's perspective

==In Conclusion==
[[1d4chan|/tg/ is the cancer killing /tg/]].

Grells are a monster from Dungeons and Dragons. They look like floating brains with jellyfish tentacles and bird beaks. Although they are very intelligent and are capable of using magic, they are completely obsessed with eating. Non grell lifeforms are only prey, or inedible, or predators to them. They got an entire chapter dedicated to them in [[Lords of Madness]].
