It's not a word that can, or should be, "reclaimed".
Dunking on chuds/libs/etc. is awesome, but it doesn't need that specific framing.

anytime i hear about 'sex' i think of the time i was abused but you don't see me making my personal hangups into a Big Dramatic Criticism Of Hexbear Sitewide Culture.
Most people hear 'bullying' and think of like low stakes teasing and stuff, not child suicide. Its not this sites specific leftist attempt to 'reclaim' the word 'bullying', it is literally just english speakers using the word as usual with its usual meaning and context which does not include child suicide. absolutely no one here advocates for children committing suicide and it is borderline wrecker behavior to suggest as much. This is shock value emotional manipulation to associate hexbear with child suicide for no good reason whatsoever.
idk if you are intentionally wrecking but to the passive observer you are equating the mild criticism of the online posts of others with advocating for literal child deaths, that is absolutely ridiculous.
I mostly agree in this case but what's exactly stopping somebody for making the same argument for words like "idiot" or "stupid"? There was a thread concerning exactly this a few days/weeks ago and people responded way more positively about that than about this.
I guess you can't do much better than take it on a case-by-case basis.
