I tried going on Raddle once. Got into an argument with them over something stupid and left. Can't remember exactly what it was.
>I even remember one person complaining about gender dysphoria being removed from the DSM because of the "ableist connotation that having a mental disorder is a bad thing".
Taken literally, I understand that point though. We don't avoid calling brain cancer an illness. There's a difference between "bad for you" and "evil". The former doesn't reflect badly on you, the latter does.

we shouldn’t just let them roam around freely
Agree. But I would add that if you have to undergo something that is functionally identical to punishment, it should be treated legally as punishment not involuntary “treatment”. I.e. there should be proper trials that prescribe how long they should be kept in hospital-prison (it shouldn’t be indefinite), what kind of medical treatment they can be given, etc.
As for playing into their delusions, I believe that’s up to the individual. Free speech.
Or maybe involuntary medical treatment should be banned and instead they should just be locked up if they are dangerous.
