It can be both. 'Derogatory' tends to denote tone more than it does content. If two people make the same observation, but one of them does so disrespectfully, that one is derogatory. For example:
A: 'Donald Trump has made some major mistakes thus far in his presidency.'
B: 'Donald Trump has made some major mistakes thus far in his presidency, chiefly because he is emotionally a 6 year old child and has all the intellectual and social acumen of a moldy Mars bar.'
B is derogatory, A is not.

Yellow flag for compound derogation. The Mars bar is bad enough on its own; no need to go for the jugular with the "moldy".
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
