It's not a word that can, or should be, "reclaimed".

Dunking on chuds/libs/etc. is awesome, but it doesn't need that specific framing.

I can see a line of argument where a 4th grader shouldn't be bullied even for things they can control. They'd hardly know better because of their mushy, young, little mind. In that sense, the bullying is only the harmful part of getting the message across. Therefore there'd be a desire to separate the connotations of bullying from the good work of rattling the chains of people who are responsible for harm.
