I’m not disputing this, I’m saying that the impact that the use of a phrase or word has on other people matters far more than intent, because the intent is only felt by one person and cannot be proven or disproven, while the impact it has on other people is far more noticeable and affects more people.
However, in terms of Derpibooru, stuff can be filtered, so ensuring people use their filters could prevent the offence altogether, and ultimately lessens this impact and could negate it altogether.

My point is that the impact a slur has is not inherent to the word itself, because the word itself is an arrangement of sounds made by your mouth. It is the societal context around the word or your own personal experience that make a word “bad”.
