It definitely is a well known fact that Summoner's Rift is random. To be blunt, Riot does not give a fuck about cancer. In their eyes, homosexuality is a more controversial topic than cancer. I think that's why they permabanned you.

When Riot implemented their Universal Rules, they were aiming at getting rid of douches, assholes, dicks, and jerks. These are all derogatory terms, slang, but they capture the perspective of what Riot has. One thing I'd like to focus on is jerks.

Jerk is a slang term for someone who acts without consideration of others around him/her. Jerks are the most modest form of insults in this list. However, they are treated with the same reprimand as the more severe offenders. The reason is due to a lack of respect. Respect, broken down to its etymology, means to look back which is supposed to imply looking all around and being wary in general. That said a jerk is someone who is unwary and commits to actions without an understanding of its repercussions.

You are are a jerk. The proof is through your experience with this wiki already. Since this wiki also has a similar hatred towards jerks, you fell victim to this reprimand. I personally don't care whether or not you are a jerk. Your points are valid and that is all that is needed for me to listen. However, many people are much more sensitive than I am.

If you step out of line, you can get punished even for doing the right thing. Discussions have a massive priority on civility. It is intended to enable arguments to maintain discussion. Some people shy away from a discussion that is rude and brutal. By pushing these people away, there is a permanent dent on the reputation of discussion boards. While there are problems in general, anyone who leaves in this manner will not return. Discussion boards want to include these people and prevent any discussion from pushing them away.

That said, since Riot does not consider cancer an issue controversial enough to push people away from discussion, they do not address it. It is a completely economical matter, but the morals of the matter are fairly contradictory. When thinking in terms of morals, it makes no sense that sexual orientation would have a higher precedence over cancer.

The reality is that people publicized sexuality orientation more than they did for cancer. So people are more likely to react to sexual orientation issues than cancer issues, which is just sad. If people did react to cancer issues more, Riot would be permabanning anyone mentioning the controversial topic of cancer. However, the fact that they don't just goes to show that they do not care about cancer enough to do this much.
