Idk, don't things become slurs when they're used as insults? Doesn't all it take for something to become a slur is for it to develop a connotation of disgust or hatred or something?

tho the thought of SWERFs picking a more neutral term makes me go 'ahhh' because SWERFs trigger me a lot, but I still consciously advocate that they have the right to do that and I'll try to use neutral terms because that would help discussion
