Intent definitely matters, at least to most schools of philosophy (I'm sure someone can find a quote from some philosopher arguing otherwise).
But when does responsibility start? If you are aware you could be doing something to hurt someone, and you keep doing it anyway, can you still honestly say you lack any intent to hurt them?

In law it certainly wouldn’t be a defense to say “well I didn’t INTEND to do it, I just knew that there were pretty good odds what I was doing could hurt someone”
It’s a nonsensical argument and that commenter is a moron
