nah

It's a bit of a strong word for me to call someone a cancer, but it's not as offensive to me as the actions that have happened in this series.

No. Sometimes PC is just an acornym for personal computer.

Not at all

It's not a metaphor I would personally use. Brits are more likely to say someone is poison or poisonous. If she had wished it upon him, I would certainly be shocked. She made a brasher comparison than Brits care to use. It's a commonly used metaphor in Holland. The difference is that the word 'poisonous' has lost it's impact as it's not as prevalent a cause of death as it was centuries ago. Cancer is. She was using a more contemporary metaphor to show how he affects her. She did not wish it upon him. Before anyone asks, yes I have lost 4 family members to cancer. Tommorow I'm holding an all day Summer Lights cake and crafts day for MacMillan Cancer Care. Hopefully raise plenty of pounds anyway.

No problem with her saying it, I lost some respect for her when she denied it ...." I Say it How It Is " is suppose to be her default setting according to Renee.
It showed dishonesty and weakness and I was disappointed with her. |
I can see your point. She did deny it. But she can't keep up the dishonesty. He had her and she knew it, so she started to laugh. Waiting for this to be pounced on as a sign she was laughing at her use of the metaphor. I saw it as 'ok,you got me, I can't deny it'. She did the same over spitgate in the bedroom when he knew she knew and she eventually admitted it. She's self aware herself that she 'says mean things' in the heat of a moment. As you said, and I do take your point, she initially flat denied it. But if she continued with a strong denial and never dissolved into laughter, the viewers are more than aware of the continued dishonesty. She said what she did in a meltdown. To sit outside in a quiet reflective moment with him and bring it back to that moment of 'telling it like it is' would also be slaughtered on here for being hardfaced, unforgiving, sucking the fun out of the show etc etc. Just my thoughts but I do take your point that initial denial was not a good look.

Secondary meaning of cancer

If she was joking then it was in poor taste.However if she actually meant it(which i think she probably did after her saying she wants him whacked by her mobster mates) then she is disgusting.
|
It was a statement that he was nasty, i have heard it before 'you are the Cancer of Society' etc. I don't believe she meant that she wished he had Cancer but that he was the nasty part that needs to go.
I wasn't insulted by it but can understand if some are. |
Honestly if you're offended by something like that, you're not fit to live in this world.
|
Not in the slightest, I agreed with her wholeheartedly.

Bear fans not batting an eye when he and the ratpack victimised people like Saira yet losing their **** when someone compares him to cancer, which can be known as:

No. Not at all. Fed up of people battling over who can pretend to be the most offended.

Whoever wins tonight it's a sad state of affairs. Forced antagonism, forced provocation, forced and fake humour....well if that's a force of new humour on society, I despair. I wasn't forced to watch CBB but I did, as I wanted to view a number of HMS interacting. It's car crash TV. I'm just relieved I won't be watching Bear again. I'd rather watch real comedy and entertainment.

If bear had called Renee cancer then there would be an absolute outcry on this forum.

It was pretty heavy to use it with such venom like she did. It is about the worst thing you can call someone.
Imagine if Bear had called her cancer! How do you think she would react? Imagine how social media would react to Bear calling her that! |
Renee was an absolute disgrace.
For a woman her age. 68. She should have had the maturity to NOT use a very serious illness to make pathetic vindictive digs at Bear. Bear, who is 40 years her junior, even he thought it was out of order. Renee is an appalling person. |
Very accurate ... Thought when Aubrey said he was like herpes.....was spot on.
