I think Jiro has the right of it here, and further, the academics often specifically pick terms that would obviously be "misinterpreted" in the pejorative way ("toxic masculinity" perhaps being the worst offender, or "symbolic racism").

I think "white supremacy" has everything else beat by miles, especially in its "no, I said 'supremacy', not 'supremacism', it's totes different!" manifestation.

That's not the Dunning-Kreuger effect. In the original D-K paper, the people who were slightly above average at a skill were the most accurately calibrated, and the people at the top end actually underestimated their ability. It's people who were below-average who tended to overestimate their skill level - the paper is called "Unskilled and Unaware Of It", after all.
