You don't need to use slurs to make your point.
Genuine question here, which words are slurs? Crazy narcissist?
I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.
As in, Empress doesn't need to be using slurs to make her points.
I sought treatment, and most of the pwNPD I know have sought treatment. The primary barriers to actually getting treatment are cost, and lack of trained psychologists. Insurance doesn't cover personality disorders and therapists don't know how to help us, other than giving generalised PTSD and cPTSD treatment such as schema therapy.
I also think money is magic, because it's brought into existence by people's belief in it. In my book, magic is believing in something so hard it becomes real. Money obviously fits the bill. Do you not think money is magic? What do you think it is if it's not magic?
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.

The N word is specifically a slur referring to a mental disorder, and is thus an oppressive slur

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.
