An intrusive thought is an unwelcome, involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate.

Calling a word someone used a slur does not necessarily assume nefarious intentions; slurs are used unknowingly by some people quite often. See for instance some older people who unthinkingly use words that were not considered slurs in their youth.
As I said in another comment, I didn’t and am not assuming nefarious intent, I just want people to stop using offensive language.
