Subjective, as are most language-related things.
There's a difference between slut-shaming or whatever and being a well-meaning shit to people you know.
To some people, the use of the N-Word to refer to friends is offensive and horrible, while to other people, it's used in the context of bonding and taking back the word. Just as the N-Word is often used to mean "my friend," "Ho" and related sexually derogatory words are often used to refer to people who are sexually desirable in a positive way.
So without knowing the context and intent of the utterance, we can't definitively state a word or its usage as being solely in one camp or the other, without the risk of mass thought-control.
