in reply to @Foxtrot68's post:
no. it's a word that's so loaded with bad history that we can start thinking about reclaiming it once fascists stop using it. it's very easy to not use fascist language.
I get that perspective. My perspective is that reclaiming a word isan often a good way to remove toxic connotations from a word, i cite an example if the inverse with the word "woke". The right took this work and somehow made it a dirty word, and i posit we can do the opposite.
look if you wanna insist on using fascist language for no discernible benefit that's on you. I think it's a word that's not worth reclaiming. As for your example if you think the right has corrupted the word "woke" you shouldn't take them seriously at all, plus woke doesn't have a history of being used to dehumanize others.
i'm not sure you can reclaim a word that nobody on your side ever claimed in the first place. "degenerate" is an invention of fascists. i don't think there's anything to reclaim.
Personally, I've always been a little skeptical of reclaiming in a way that isn't, like, community-wide and done in a consistent and empowering way. It's why I don't personally like the f-slur being reclaimed but I'm fine with queer. Degenerate feels more like the former than the latter, but I recognized I'm not representing the whole community here.
I can understand that perspective. The only reason i bring it up is that i dont want anyone deciding what im allowed to call myself
