Cancer

This article is about something that is considered by the overpowering majority of /tg/ to be fail. Expect huge amounts of derp and rage, punctuated by /tg/ extracting humor from it.

"This thread gave me DINNER."

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

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

Just about anything can be called "a DINNER," because painis 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:

• Painis (supporting or hating it; /tg/ just wants to get on with its fucking life)
  • Any and all obsessive fandoms, to a similar extent.
• Dinner
• Cultist-chan
• Me in general (though extracting humor from it is well and good)
• Lengthy, marathon discussions about Uncyclopedia, 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 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
• /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

/tg/ is the cancer killing /tg/.
