I don't follow your logic. She became a memorable, attention-getting background character specifically because she was pointed out by the My Little Pony fanbase as "Derpy Hooves". By the time of the second season, the show's creators responded by specifically placing her in new episodes such as "The Last Roundup". Nobody in the fanbase that I'm aware of carried out a "campaign" in the immediate aftermath of that episode to suddenly change how she was depicted or openly promote censorship in general; in fact, I was under the impression that her appearance in that episode was widely well-received.

If Derpy Hooves had not become such a popular character that she got a mildly controversial scene to herself that was later changed, we wouldn't be talking about this to begin with. The same goes for, as you said, the word "Derp" itself. Moreover, she is still a popular character, judging by the reaction to seeing her scene edited, and unless there has been a statement by Hasbro that "We will never use the yellow-eyed Pegasus with the crossed eyes again", I don't see any reason to believe that they will drop everything and ban Derpy, if partly because she is a popular draw to the show itself.
