Originally a neutral term, since the mid-1960s, it has acquired a derogatory meaning, implying a paranoid tendency to see the influence of some malign covert agency in events.
[17] The term is often used to dismiss claims that the critic deems ridiculous, misconceived, paranoid, unfounded, outlandish, or irrational.
[18] A conspiracy theory that is proven to be correct, such as the notion that United States President
Richard Nixon and his aides conspired to cover up
Watergate, is usually referred to as something else, such as investigative journalism or historical analysis.

they turned the word against the people who use it properly.

i personally dont bash other people for what i consider a "fringe" theory because it is detrimental to ones thought process.
think aliens did 911? OK.
think nanobots agitate the atmosphere? OK
think hyperspace travel is outdated tech? OK
think some humans are actually non humans in disguise? OK
i really dont have all the answers so unless you wanna be einstein your whole life then you gotta start playin bohr.
include everything or your hypothesis is all wrong.
