i wouldn’t call it a SLUR and i think that label gets thrown around way too easily in online spaces ngl but i would absolutely agree that the gag of it all is “haha crazy people” which is insensitive to what a delusion/disorder that causes delusions is/are

i guess but i’d also say that there’s more important things in our communities than whether or not a word is a slur

basically yea, and coming from NTs it sounds like the "I'm so OCD because (describes something someone with OCD can do that is not OCD on its own)" thing. Someone can have a single delusion without having a whole disorder but we really need to raise the bar on what gets labeled like this.

I feel like people more often use it to mean “deluded” than “having a delusion”. It’s always hard to exactly define things, but people say others are deluded when they have unfounded bad ideas all the time, and I don’t think that’s a slur or related to the disorder
