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.

commenters: please consider, while the comparison to what is effectively child murder is unhelpful and inaccurate, there is a genuine complaint to be made here. The site culture created by the “bullying works” mindset is hostile and deeply stressful for neurodivergent people in general. I kind of wish this discussion didn’t enter the site zeitgeist this way, considering that the issue isn’t really about bullying in general but moreso the bad application of it (we think being armed is good too, but we always recommend good gun discipline!), but it’s been needed to have been had for a long time and- unless I’m mistaken- it has been had before and many neurodivergent moderators and volunteers left the team due to a lack of proper action on it. I urge anyone reading this to go past the immediate, reactionary urge to dismiss the issue altogether (and do understand I sympathize with it given the OP’s extremely hyperbolic nature), and try and understand the criticism (many of, there are always outliers) us neurodivergent users have been making for a long time.
