internet pop psychology terms like "narcissist," "toxic," etc are a rly scary carceral identity based thinking - creates a "mental disorder" that just defines a person as "evil and always will be"

And that, honestly, is what is dangerous about it If you're trying to tell me not being allowed to call people "narcissists" is *softpedaling* attacks on them I think you're being disingenuous

You're not mad that you're being "policed" from fully venting your anger at them, because "motherfucker" is an angrier word by far than "narcissist" You're mad that you're not being allowed to pretend you're *not* venting anger, that you're not mad, just stating facts

There really are people who see "narcissist" as a straight upgrade to "selfish motherfucker" because it comes with that "doctors say so too" caché

Rather than dismantling ableism, lots of people want to weaponize it against people they don't like (sometimes justly, sometimes not). So they'll start trying to apply medical terms that will get the people they don't like subjected to ableism, sometimes even legally.
