Can you really take a derogatory word and just declare that when you use it it's not derogatory? Why not just choose a different word?

I can't think of a character off the top of my head that is characterized by having a lot of sex. I'm sure there are, just blanking at the moment.

Yes, or where did things like fierce bitch or HBIC come from?

People invented words. They have only the meanings we collectively choose to give them. If enough people agreed that a particular word meant something different or was more or less objectionable than it is now, it would become the reality (and in fact this does happen, just slowly and usually not consciously for most of us. That's assuming somebody isn't gumming up the process by refusing to let everyone else forget how it started out.)

"Can you really take a derogatory word and just declare that when you use it it's not derogatory?"

Yeah probably. Unless you wanted to argue that slut should stay just a hurtful term.

I dare you to tell the next black person you come across who uses the "n" word that they shouldn't use it because it's derogatory and you can't just take a derogatory word and make it not derogatory.
