American Demigods: "the moral equivalent of..."

Using the word "issues" as a synonym for "problems" or worse, "issue" singular as a synonym for "problem" as in "We had a slight issue with vampire bats attacking our livestock but they migrated away because of climate change issues" is a terrible thing to do. I mean it, it's really awful. It's as bad as murdering someone. If you do it, you should stop. If you continue to do it, you are a monster. And monsters should be slain. With flaming swords.

"Cancel my subscription, cuz I'm sick of your issues."

...followed by three snaps in a 'z' formation.
