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 mostly agree in this case but what's exactly stopping somebody for making the same argument for words like "idiot" or "stupid"? There was a thread concerning exactly this a few days/weeks ago and people responded way more positively about that than about this.

I guess you can't do much better than take it on a case-by-case basis.
