I've had to call out some people using Schizo or Schizophrenic to describe things, not people, and like, generalizing it to mean something other than the medical definition is pretty hurtful. Luckily, they listened and stopped using it, but like, these are people who know I'm on the Schizophrenia spectrum, so you'd think I'd not have to ask.
At least this was a few years ago, and I haven't had to deal with it in person since, though I still see it used not-infrequently as an accusation on :reddit-logo: towards maga-spiracy types, which sucks.

Literally an insult to anyone who happens to have those conditions. Conspiracy chuds believe awful shit because they're assholes.
