      it's actually not. You're saying the person is wrong and doing a wrong thing because they have a disorder, or people should never ever act like they have a disorder, both of which are hurtful and dismissive to people with a disorder.

          hey there, you are making a fallacious argument. I said you should not use certain language as it is hurtful and dismissive of people. You now claim I said not to dismiss something someone said, which I did not say. This indicates to me you actually know you shouldn't use the word, you just want to and will say whatever to pretend you should. Anyway, dealing with your argument here, just because you should dismiss something, does not mean you should compare it to a disorder. The wrong perception is not wrong because it is like a schizophrenic person's idea, it is wrong because it does not line up with reality. If someone is wrong, you should be able to explain why they are wrong, or else you don't actually know that they are wrong. You are not using this language because this will show the supposed wrong person that they are wrong, you are using this language because you want to insult the idea and the person by saying they are like a schizophrenic person, and therefore not worth considering.

          There are plenty of words in the English language. We don't need to use that one.

      We dont call people "a depressive" or "a manic", so we shouldn't call people with schizophrenia or other related disorders "a schizophrenic" or any variation of the word.

      How about you just fuck off with using that word. If people tell you not to use it because it's hurtful it seems like common fucking courtesy to not use.

          Yeah, but that goes for everything. There are people who say insulting peoples intelligence is ableist, or using gendered swears sexist.

          :yes-sicko:

          Language exists to communicate our feeling and thoughts, if you take those words away, how am I going to be able to express that I find you to be a stupid removed?

          Well, you don't have to use all that language. Also, using slurs to own the uhhhh?

          See what I mean?

          No, I don't, and I hope I never do.

          I'm autistic myself. I say solidarity to all comrades, and if that solidarity entails me not using a word I didn't use anyway, then fair enough I say.
