I see it kind of like how African-American's claimed the N word. Is it a racist slur? Yes. But by claiming it as their own, they made it something that can't be used against them. The best defense is a good offense and all that. Neon has basically declared to the world that not only is she a Faunus, she's proud of her heritage and her trait, and she's just as good as the rest of them.

She's sort of a foil to Blake in a way. Where Blake hid her Faunus traits, trying to prove that she's just as good as everyone else and her traits don't matter, to be seen for who she is rather than what, Neon went the opposite. If someone can't see past her Faunus traits, then they're not worth her time or effort. It's basically a loud declaration of "YES I'M A FAUNUS, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? I WILL STILL KICK YOUR ASS."
