Do you mean, the question of whether it is acceptable to any given individual to sell golliwog dolls is decided for that individual by his or her own attitude to calling someone a "***"?
Or that whether it is acceptable at all, is dependent on whether "people in general" wouldn't use the word?
Or do you mean that even owning or remembering golliwogs from childhood is unacceptable because some people are unhappy that the word "***" exists?
It may seem like pedantry but when one starts forbidding other people to do things, I think one is obliged to be clear about the reasons.
