I don’t know if it is what you have heard, but I have seen a lot of feminists reapropiating slurs like “b1tch”, “wh0re” and so on and calling themselves like that in a positive manner, which if you would heard them without context, you might not tell. I think this is a far better tactic than trying to ban a word, since it is essentially what has been happening with words like “gay” and “queer”, only this happened long ago and people now have internalized that they never were insults.
Yeah I know, I did not explicit it but you always need consent in that regard, although it is super uncommon with words like “gay” or “queer” nowadays.

I’m pretty sure the two phenomena, the one you describe and the one @straightpeach@lemmy.ml describes, both exist independently.
Of course, but they can be confused.
