Delusional is just common slang (
Someone who isn't seeing things clearly, or expects something to happen when it really won't. It's used for people clinging to an idea that's totally wrong or outdated.) and it isn't an insult or a medical diagnosis in everyday American conversation—kind of like saying "you're tripping" in casual talk. It's definitely not meant to be a slur. Just like how
OMG girl, you're so crazy 😁 isn't a clinical diagnosis or the same thing as saying:
I think you should see someone, because you have serious mental problems.
It's the same logic as calling someone's actions "perfidious" (sneaky or malicious). That's not an insult! It’s just a descriptive way to call out someone's words or deeds. (And yeah, I mentioned being called "perfidious" before as a problematic way to communicate)
Following that same logic, look at stuff like
Frank Williams7 said:because no sane person (except professionals and their clients) has sex with an object instead of a person.
That would be a (blatant) insult or a diagnosis, labeling everyone outside those parameters as "insane." Plus, it basically implies anyone who thinks differently is a slut.
Or even something like
Frank Williams7 said:I don't feel like explaining this to you since you can't grasp it anyway.
That's an insult by implying someone is mentally deficient. People would call that making it personal.
But honestly, none of this
is an insult, nor should it be flagged as one. This kind of free-flowing, casual speech is totally standard for a forum or just regular American conversation. Like one user put it:
Frank Williams7 said:Instead of saying 'every sane person,' I could have just said 'most people.'
There's a whole list of terms and phrases used for observations, descriptions, arguments, whatever—all within the realm of normal, slightly edgy conversation, without being insults. Real (blatant) insults would be stuff like
"you're stupid," "idiot," "slut," or "where did you crawl out from?" and so on. We don't allow that kind of stuff here.
Plus, the forum rules clearly state
Intimate topics. Some subjects require language that might not be suitable for very young (or very old) audiences. Or sensitive topics, which has been mentioned a million times.
