I get bipolar, psychotic, and schizo, although I do also believe within far right circles like QAnon and such that there are people who are having legitimate psychotic and schizophrenic thoughts (which is very sad). I know Hasan uses psychotic as a bit of an umbrella term which I’ve found annoying in the past, so I get why there’s some sort of action being taken there.
But, we’re running cover for narcissists now? What about narcissistic as an adjective? It’s a well established term deriving from Narcissus, used to describe self centered behaviour. What about calling someone ‘a narcissus’ as one might call someone ‘a cassandra’.
Medically diagnosed narcissists practically don’t exist in the first place.
Are we going to ban calling things socio/psychopathic too?
Glad you asked, it’s right here:
“Stupid and dumb” would fall under “etc.”
Would they?

I think that needs to be rethought.
