The Carlos Maza/Steven Crowder feud was the last straw for me on this issue. Maza wanted to say he was queer and that all LGB people are queer, but the second Crowder called him queer it was “hate speech.” (Yes, Crowder was intentionally being a juvenile jerk, but I do think he did it to point out the stupidity of Maza’s position.) If it’s not fine for other people to call you a “reclaimed” word, then the word isn’t neutral and you should bugger off.
