no. the only group of people who tried to reclaim slurs were black people and they regretted it massively. they have the power to commit physical violence as a group of people and excuse themselves but we dont have that to regulate others. and theyre quite stupid for trying to reclaim it. Jews dont try to reclaim "kike". The word FGGT is the only actual real slur. Nothing else even comes close. There are multiple countries basically trying out genocide programs against gays and we just consider it normal because it takes time to find them all. It's been going on for 2000 years. Everyone wants to appropriate that word. i've even seen some "non binary lesbians" try and approrpriate it. You can't "appropriate it" and the best thing to do is stigmatize the word and the people who use it. How can you fucking appropriate a word when everyone else doesnt respect you and actively uses it to mock your humanity? It just doesnt work. You just try and humiliate the people who use it.
