CAN mean and DOES mean are absolutely different. Once again, if you claim Derpy means disabled where is your PROOF? It exists in absolutely ZERO academically accepted sources. ZERO. Therefore ANY meaning is equally valid, as it is with all made up words. Therefore it is just as wrong to be offended by it as it is to be made joyful by it. And it is just as correct to NOT be made joyful by it as it is to be offended by it! If I tell you to "Go obtoofmobobo yourself" and it hurts your feelings, it is fact that you have been insulted. But if you go to a discrimination COURT that demands PROOF and you tell them that I hurt your feelings and used a made up word, they will laugh you out of the building. They will ask you for PROOF. Is the word defined in an academically reviewed source? NO. Are there physically provable signs of discrimination, such as drinking fountains labeled "derpy only" or restaurants turning away "derpy" customers? NO. Ergo you have no PROOF of discrimination, only proof of sensitive feelings. I feel bad if people have had negative experiences with certain made up syllable combinations but their experiences are not more valid than mine if I have positive associations with those same combos. Should a man named Dick have to change his name to join a strict evangelical church? Should a British man who tells a religious friend "I am going to step outside and have a quick suck on a pair of fags" be kicked out of church for being offensive? This is why personal insults do not require any proof for you to be insulted, but discrimination DOES require proof.
