You don’t get to decide what is a slur. Go away.

Of course I don’t get to decide what’s a slur. The people who use mental conditions as insults decide that.

It sure seems like you’re in here trying to enforce your personal opinion that the word people are using is a slur.

It’s not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn’t one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It’s a fact.

Care to provide any of that? Because so far all I have seen is your opinion, and a bunch of people disagreeing.

This is not evidence that the term is a slur.

This is the definitions of words which most everyone in this thread certainly already knew, strung together with your opinion that they are connected.

While this has been somewhat entertaining, I don’t think I’ll continue to feed your delusions any further.

I will not be replying again. Goodbye.
