Abstract in brief
The study proposes a theoretical model where reappropriating stigmatizing labels involves a reciprocal relationship between power and selflabeling, showing that adopting derogatory terms can influence perceptions of power and stigma.
Experiments found that increased group, but not individual, power made participants more willing to self-label with derogatory group terms, which in turn made them feel more powerful and led observers to see them as more powerful, reducing negative evaluations of the labels.
This effect was specific to derogatory terms and did not occur with neutral descriptive or majority-group labels, suggesting that reappropriating slurs can serve to weaken their stigmatizing impact by enhancing perceived power.

@KhakisTree @BFlowSpartan @Seouljaa Oppressed groups reclaim words that oppress them. It can be empowering. Black people, women, and lgbtq community have done it with different words. You’re not oppressed so you don’t get to say those words. It’s simple. https://t.co/GpksM3o0g5

@brasher_bryan @DarwinFleurs @meghanncuniff She called herself a white supremacist in the same way that some black people will call each other the n-word, gays will call each other "f@g", feminists use "b1tch", etc.
Rejecting the stigma of the now-meaningless label.

@raydelosinutil Look up Linguistic reappropriation, reclamation, or resignification; educate yourself before even attempting to come at me.
