    On the one hand, reclaiming slurs is a thing.

    On the other hand, bigots love to claim "irony" as a Trojan Horse to normalize their vocabulary and ideas.

    It's a minefield, that's for sure.

        I feel like very little people know that this slur has origins from Nazi's eugenics program tbh

        For Zoomers and Gen Alphas, it was just a word we learned from the internet

        I can't figure out what word this is suppose to be, all I can think of is "removed" but that's not a slur and has relatively common non-fascist usage.

      Sure, but no one is calling each other a "degenerat" in a friendly manner nor is it a catch-all term like n---ga. It's usually in a self-deprecating manner to describe a behavior that is not accepted by the mainstream
