Delusionpost

A specific instance of Delusionbait—a post whose sole function is to frame the target as delusional, mentally ill, or disconnected from reality. Delusionposts are recognizable by their clinical vocabulary deployed as weapons: "psychotic," "delusional," "schizo," "mania," "hallucination," "disconnected from reality." They often mimic concern ("I'm genuinely worried about you") while functioning as attacks. The Delusionpost may screenshot the target's words with captions like "this person needs serious help" or "textbook delusional thinking." It requires no engagement with content, no understanding of context, no evidence beyond the baiter's certainty that experiences they don't share must be pathological. The Delusionpost doesn't argue—it commits.
"He posted about his spiritual experiences in a meditation group. Someone took screenshots and made a Delusionpost on another platform: 'Look at this person genuinely believing they talked to spirits. This is what untreated mental illness looks like, and we're supposed to be normalizing this?' The post got thousands of likes. Not one person asked about his actual experience. The diagnosis was enough."

Delusionpost

A rhetorical tactic that combines the goalpost‑moving and proofposting dynamics with accusations of delusion. The perpetrator sets an impossible standard of evidence (often requiring “proof” that the target’s experiences are not delusional) and then, when the target fails to meet it, declares that the failure itself proves the target’s delusion. Delusionposting creates a no‑win situation: any attempt to provide evidence is dismissed as “delusional,” and any refusal is taken as admission. It is commonly used against people discussing spirituality, trauma, or any experience outside strict materialist orthodoxy.
Example: “She offered documentation, personal testimony, and even peer‑reviewed studies; he dismissed each as ‘delusional reasoning.’ When she stopped, he posted ‘see, she can’t defend herself.’ Delusionpost: a trap disguised as a debate.”

delusionist 

Someone who is a master of their own delusions to the point where they exist in the dual planes of true and false realities, often exhibiting extreme mood swings resulting from the conflicts of planar coexistence and living in an impenetrable state of constant denial. The delusionist often has a hard time interpreting non-verbal communication, and in some extreme cases, straight-forward verbal communication, when it contradicts their false reality. Along with their failure to take even the most obvious of hints, they often have a high opinion of themselves and are obsessed with keeping their ego over-inflated to compensate for their numerous inadequacies. In an effort to illustrate some degree of normalcy, and to offset his or her frequent visitations to the false reality when relating to a particular subject matter, the delusionist will have a tendency to point out and/or over-emphasize any incident or situation that is merely a mediocrity in the true reality.
He's been talking about that pipe-dream for years without making a bit of progress, yet with all the things he's presently juggling, he thinks he's gonna make that happen now? Wow! That boy there is a delusionist!
