ALSO! THe Main Issue with trying to reclaim a slur like the r-slur is that reclamation is predicated on transformative connotation.
It also can require diminishing the word (notice how โniggaโ is thoroughly reclaimed but โniggerโ is not?).
If itโs still just a pejorative, it is not reclaimed.
add a skeleton here at some point
