I think the issue here is that Magicker is medicalizing bad behavior. They're not saying someone behaved badly, they're saying someone has a medical condition that makes them inherently evil and untrustworthy. You can say someone is being selfish, or lying, or being unreasonable, or whatever, without diagnosing them.
totes fair, i was thinking it through myself and trying to explain it is one of the ways I do that. i had to go hunting around to find that the term has always been medical.
How does not calling out negative behaviors help people who are themselves trying to limit them
