CJ "siege" Bellwetherreclaiming words is far more doable to words that had a mild/neutral/positive origin or were a noun before they had became deeply negative.
you can reclaim cunt, pussy, tart, bitch etc.
you couldnt reclaim genocide.
Sturmlilie@siege genocide isn't used as an insult toward a specific group of people though. I thought only those could be reclaimed in the first place
@ancurio yeah, sorry to be clear what im meaning is there are some insults used towards specific groups that have never been anything but an insult, and their etymology is purely negative.
reclaiming those words is as doable as reclaiming "genocidal"
