I think at some point people got confused about what "reclaiming slurs" actually means. (or did I get confused?)
Like how do you reclaim a slur by just making it real? I sort of get the angry mindset, "well If you'll call me that I'll just say it myself" but it seems immensely counter productive. Reclaiming slurs is done by actually changing their meaning. 
Like how the n-word in the black community can be just a different way to refer to a friend, or how "bitch" gets turned into something positive when Meredith Brooks proudly calls herself one. Being all "haha, I'm actually targeting your kids" is not that.

Reminds me a lot of that scene in Four Lions
