I’m thinking that your question is generalized but is there any example which I really missed?
Semantically, “reverse reappropriation” would just be called “appropriation “. What are double negations?
Is reverse sub-appropriation acceptable for a specific answer?
In the rest of the answers, I am specifically talking about “claiming a word” not the general definition of the word “appropriation”.
Appropriation is the act of taking something for yourself. Reappropriation the act of reclaiming an appropriation. In both cases the group shifts the word to himself.
When “social justice warriors” are included on social media and not in the dictionary, what is the evolution of “social justice warriors?” and all social media sources: etc. Why “appropriation” does not apply here, in my opinion!
What makes a definition useful is a search of the causes of semantic evolution, rather than the act of semantically evolving a word (which happens naturally and is not always a conscious decision).
And that is much harder to pin down and find an answer for. Why does words evolve? “, a massive topic to discuss, that cannot really be contained in a single word or description. ”Why do words have an implicit negative connotation?
What is that company’s slogan?
What is “social justice warrior” exactly?
Let’s end with someone offering stereotype as the correct answer to the question.
What is Social
Justice Warrior? What is it about?
Who supports social justice? Who is trying to enact social justice?
Let’s go backwards, what is wrong with social justice?
Why are there enough people who call themselves social justice warriors in the West? The stereotype is formed where social justice warriors are expected to behave as a nonviolent individual.If I had to describe the cause of this semantic evolution, would I call it stereotyping. Why does the human brain evolve? “The evolved meaning accounts for the stereotype that has been commonly accepted, at the very least up to a point of being commonly acknowledged (even if not everyone thinks it is factually correct).
Is
it true that stereotypes are an integral part of psychology? These thoughts may or may not accurately reflect reality.
Wikipedia link? The meaning of stereotype based social psychology.
Since language evolution is heavily influenced (if not fully driven) by social interaction, the act of stereotyping can have a massive impact for evolution of a language to account for “new” stereotypes.
This is normal human behavior. Humans are not perfect, so why logically perfect?
How can I flip a coin 5 times? Is it true that 1/32 people get 5 heads in one row, and another 1/32 people get 5 tails in another row?
How do I ask everyone on Facebook what they think about The Coin? I don’t think it is true (when calculating the value of a fair coin) that none of the test subjects are aware of the outcome of other people’s coin flips. Their opinions are based on experience only.If you do an experiment in the US, on a population of 300 million – 200 million people (more than 20-million) you will end up with 20 million people who all erroneously believe this coin to be a fake coin. And that is this coin you believe in.
Is the conclusion of your research logically correct? Of course not. But it is the essence of human behavior: recognizing patterns based on outcomes.
As much as we would like to paint them as wilfully evil, many people who partake in stereotyping (mostnotably racists and sexists) do so not because they are intentionally telling lies, but because their experience is vastly different from the statistical average, leading to their opinion being similarly different from the average.
That is not an excuse for racism, sexism, or any other form of sterotyping. What makes outliers statistically unlikely to exist but will allow us to have our own opinions?

Is reverse sub-appropriation acceptable for a specific answer?
In the rest of the answers, I am specifically talking about “claiming a word” not the general definition of the word “appropriation”.
Appropriation is the act of taking something for yourself. Reappropriation the act of reclaiming an appropriation. In both cases the group shifts the word to himself.
When “social justice warriors” are included on social media and not in the dictionary, what is the evolution of “social justice warriors?” and all social media sources: etc. Why “appropriation” does not apply here, in my opinion!
What makes a definition useful is a search of the causes of semantic evolution, rather than the act of semantically evolving a word (which happens naturally and is not always a conscious decision).
And that is much harder to pin down and find an answer for. Why does words evolve? “, a massive topic to discuss, that cannot really be contained in a single word or description. ”Why do words have an implicit negative connotation?
What is that company’s slogan?
What is “social justice warrior” exactly?
Let’s end with someone offering stereotype as the correct answer to the question.
What is Social
Justice Warrior? What is it about?
Who supports social justice? Who is trying to enact social justice?
Let’s go backwards, what is wrong with social justice?
Why are there enough people who call themselves social justice warriors in the West? The stereotype is formed where social justice warriors are expected to behave as a nonviolent individual.If I had to describe the cause of this semantic evolution, would I call it stereotyping. Why does the human brain evolve? “The evolved meaning accounts for the stereotype that has been commonly accepted, at the very least up to a point of being commonly acknowledged (even if not everyone thinks it is factually correct).
Is
it true that stereotypes are an integral part of psychology? These thoughts may or may not accurately reflect reality.
Wikipedia link? The meaning of stereotype based social psychology.
Since language evolution is heavily influenced (if not fully driven) by social interaction, the act of stereotyping can have a massive impact for evolution of a language to account for “new” stereotypes.
This is normal human behavior. Humans are not perfect, so why logically perfect?
How can I flip a coin 5 times? Is it true that 1/32 people get 5 heads in one row, and another 1/32 people get 5 tails in another row?
How do I ask everyone on Facebook what they think about The Coin? I don’t think it is true (when calculating the value of a fair coin) that none of the test subjects are aware of the outcome of other people’s coin flips. Their opinions are based on experience only.If you do an experiment in the US, on a population of 300 million – 200 million people (more than 20-million) you will end up with 20 million people who all erroneously believe this coin to be a fake coin. And that is this coin you believe in.
Is the conclusion of your research logically correct? Of course not. But it is the essence of human behavior: recognizing patterns based on outcomes.
As much as we would like to paint them as wilfully evil, many people who partake in stereotyping (mostnotably racists and sexists) do so not because they are intentionally telling lies, but because their experience is vastly different from the statistical average, leading to their opinion being similarly different from the average.
That is not an excuse for racism, sexism, or any other form of sterotyping. What makes outliers statistically unlikely to exist but will allow us to have our own opinions?
