A particularly vicious form of Grassbait and Patholighting where the goal is to frame the target as literally delusional—mentally ill, disconnected from reality, incapable of rational thought. The Delusionbaiter doesn't engage arguments, doesn't consider evidence, doesn't ask questions. They simply diagnose: "You're delusional," "Schizophrenic behavior," "This is literal psychosis," "Touch grass and take your meds." The rhetoric mirrors anti-trans tactics—calling people crazy, mentally ill, delusional for claiming identities or experiences the baiter doesn't understand or accept—but extends to any domain: religion, spirituality, paranormal experiences, unconventional politics, heterodox economics, parascientific claims. The goal isn't debate; it's invalidation through pathologization. If you can be made to seem insane, nothing you say needs to be answered. Delusionbait is the nuclear option of dismissal: you're not just wrong—you're broken.
