Same. When I had the opportunity to meet Tabitha at Everfree NW I asked her to sign a Derpy poster I'd bought in the vendors hall. It was a tough choice as Rarity and Luna are both wonderful characters but Ponyvilles favorite mailmare just speaks to me a little more.

Same, dude! What is wrong with these people?!

+Elijah Foltz Who knows? Some parents are just made to complain about every little insignificant thing, I guess. People get offended by everything these days. Besides, Derpy's scene at the beginning of the episode was adorable.

Exactly the same her :)

Same. Funny how people think they can speak for us when we can do it ourselves.

Yes

oh okay then

yep

Yeah josh got his info wrong on this one

That was my understanding at the time yes

Melon Tart what about adults moms? would they care about this show at all?

She would at first be angry but then accept it. I mean her son married a pear.

not only was it moms, it was 10, just 10 people who sent in angry letters. there were over 200 positive response letters, but 10 negative ones. ~

@@HarukoHoshiko so Hasbro changed Derpy because LESS than 1% of the letters they got were mad, *facepalm* Hasbro shouldn't listen to stupid parents like that

Nathanael Unger it was sjws spearheaded by a user by the name of yamino

ImmaLittlePip This is the same Lord Zedd debacle from the 90's all over again! The producers should ignore SJWS from now on.

What was the Lord Zedd debacle?

Did someone actually complain about Lord Zedd being too scary?

When he was introduced, Lord Zedd cut no slack, to anyone, he was intimidating, evil, and threw Rita out of the moonbase, his putty patrollers kicked the ranger's asses, and Goldar, Baboo and Squach were all terrified of him, he was a badass, then, a bunch of douchy parents, soccer moms and whatanot, SJWs before they were called that, complained he was "too scary" then they (the writers) had Rita use a love potion on him and he was pathetic for the rest of the show, look for the scene where he is introduced, compared to how he was after the love potion, there is a big difference.

Ian Brennan I’m in the south but it’s funny joke

Ian Brennan I live in the south, and I thought that joke was funny.

It only made me laugh because the banjo piece he used was the Jiggy jingle.

Ok… I’m southern, and I actually know people like that so…

I am beyond disappointed and my day is ruined, all because of that joke, but it wasn't a joke because there supposed to be funny, not be disrespectful to people that live in that state.

Oh, ya mean the folks that preach love and toleration while belittling those who have different views? Folks that have such a hard-on for God that they'll protest against the Pride Parade happening at DISNEY of all places? People whose inability to take a joke cost John Lennon; someone not only labeled "The Funny One", but was preaching love in a time of war, his life?!

Soccer moms they complain about everything remember silent night deadly night

@@joinmarch76 as somebody who thinks pride parades are wrong I think that protesting against them can get nasty. If you start insulting somebody you're doing it wrong. I'm not sure where I stand on protesting against them though because I would hate it if somebody protested against Christianity and well "do unto others as you would have done unto you"

@@joinmarch76 Also the bible is most certainly not just love and tolerance. There are things that are wrong and Christians have been told to spread the gospel. But telling people to go to hell for being LGBT+ is just wrong

Why are you using "lame" like that? Basically _nobody_ uses it like that anymore.

Irony

Takumi Doutou it was them

it was

Takumi Doutou first they ruin Thomas and the magic railroad by removing pt boomer and now THIS...whatever will they ruin next

I know, right? Nobody complained about Snails! Or Goofy! Or Bizarro from Superman! The douchebags are just sexist!

First time I've ever read anyone bringing up Bizarro, but yes I agree with you. As for Snips and Snails, I have plenty have reasons to complain about them. And Goofy, his name says it all.

Um actually yeah they kinda did when he was in the comics Bizarro was but it was more for how Superman back then still Superboy if I recall right had needlessly done away with Bizarro do to not even caring to see if this being was good or not. All that mattered to Superboy was like ''Oh hes different must be evil and he is unnatural so double evil must get ride of him'' when in truth he was a flawed copy with a Frankenstein monster thing that Superboy instigated and had keep instigating till Bizarro more or less became evil from how Superboy was treating Bizarro . Atleast comic wise was how he came about and was treated for the longest time

I understand people complaining about "do away with the handicapped character", because that IS something I'd complain about, too, because that's essentially what happened to Derpy! T_T Bizarro is handicapped both mentally and physically and even though he was named by an evil guy that name stuck and *that* name *is* an insult, because the evil guy actually intended to insult his handicapped-ness.

Um no he isn't physically handicapped unless you mean appearance wise as he in his first comic debut when talking about earthwise had all of Supermans powers, But as I said if I recall right in Bizzaros case comic wise he was treated evil from the get go by Superboy when Bizzaro wanted to just be nice . But then again I can be recalling that latter fact on Superboy wrong because one I haven't read the comic in a long time and two Superboy and his adult self Superman for some reason in the old days at a point in the comics tended to be written as a dick and cruel for little to no reason As for Derpy the fandom was going for the classic ''Ditzy Klutzs blonde screw up type'' sterotype and well I feel the staff was going for that as for years before and after Derpy was around we still have that sterotype of blondes in media that act even WORSE then Derpy ever did but no one complains about them because its ''A comedic thing nothing realistic'. Add the fact Granny Smith for the longest time we seen her at her worst in the show to the point you'd think she has some disability like dementia that is commonly seen in eldery people atleast when you are saying who tend to have that . Yet then we seen it was just we was seeing her on the days she was at her worst. So they wasn't going for disability based ,besides if you get rid of Derpy for perceived medical issiu they never should have put that OC that had that wheelchair thing going on as it was stated that pony couldn't walk from a physical disability do to legs. Really its bullshit if you are going to remove one that you think is disabled then don't put another in that is truly disabled in another way. Another issue is it was the name she first had that was why everyone attacked Derpy over not anything else as said on this ''Ditzy Blondes who screw up a lot in similar or worse way '' before this show and after was left alone,add that to the complaining thing that had death threats was spearheaded by someone who more or less was a confirmed SJW working with like minded Soccer Moms and other idiots

That, and overly protective parents.

ImmaLittlePip Oh great, the clods who screwed up Lord Zedd in MMPR are still around.

SJWs: The internet's big bad boogeyman to blame ALL misfortunes on!

Political Correctness Gone Mad

i find her adorable as well =)

ZEADPOOL1991 She is pretty klutzy, but in a way, she reminds me of myself. I'm not all there in the brain either, and my mind goes about a million places while I'm doing something important. So, yeah. She and I share the same problem. Plus, come on! How adorable is she?

very adorable, =)

yeah it was a combo of soccer moms and some kind of copyright BS ( cant remember the full details ) . Special Snowflakes ruin everything

I don't like how Josh made it look like the episose was making her look like a "menace". The context of that scene made it perfectly clear that Derpy was helplessly clumsy at times that which unfortunately cause a few accidents left and right (context really matters). She obviously doesn't mean any of what she does and it's clear the townfolk don't show much hostility towards her because they recognize that exact quirk from her. Also, Rainbow Dash was not acting condescending or disrespectful at all. It looks almost like it, but it's her just being skeptical and a bit put-out by Derpy's clutzy nature and how she tends to goof up every now and so. The episode heavily implied that Dash knew Derpy prior to the events of the episode and was already familiarized with her antics not to mention she destroyed the top part of town hall (unintentionally of course) so Dash I'd say is justified in reaction. Plus, it's fucking Rainbow Dash we're talking about here so of course she's most likely going to have an annoyed reaction. If it was any other mane 6 they'd definitely would've been gentler and understanding.

Tristan Alain She is funny

That's pretty common thought, people just see her as annoying and nothing else since she is comedic. Josh has a habit of just not liking her in general though, I wouldn't trust anything he says about her.

Let me guess, their complaints stem solely from Steven being the poster child of the show when in all honesty it's the Crystal Gems (the girls) who are the real characters of focus, with Steven as a supporting character? The only reason Steven even got so much focus and his name in the show, was because at the time Cartoon Network wasn't willing to gamble on a show with female leads, even going so far as to cancel "Tower Prep" because it was selling to girls and not boys. Without Steven, the show wouldn't have been greenlighted.

Hijiku Brynjar First of All parents do not care what their kids watch (cus its just a kids show) as long as it doesnt show a disabled or gay person Thats why spongebob episodes like one coarse meal of demolition doofus were allowed to air unscathed by parents (though the internet tore them apart). 2nd their have been far more offensive potrayles of stupid characters like the Breadwinners, or Fanboy and Chum Chum, and Especially Patrick (who literally walks into danger mindlessly, does not care about his friends, and is shown to be so stupid that he almost gets Gary killed in one episode by chasing him with a flamethrower to get him to take a bath and tring to dry gary, a snail, off with SALT, huh maybe Mr.Enter shouldn't of rereviewed that episode to be nicer). And 3rd stupid and clutsy characters are very common. So I don't think it was parental outcry.

Looks like someone else is a fan of Phoenix Wright.

They literaly said it back then on twitter and even during some conventions that it was because they got hate emails from parents that got offended by the word derp that has a double meaning and at this point this is common knowledge in the fandom so no you are wrong. Not to mention it would make no sense for a fan to get mad at the show staff for changing derpy when they said themselves right after the change that they had no choice because of angry sjw.

ShadwSonic Nothing's more fun than making those doctors look like complete morons on how wrong they were ;)

i am autistic and i am not offended about derpy and i still love her

that which also means i have autism

I also have autism and never once thought Derpy was offensive... though to be honest, it never really occurred to me she was disabled (at first at least) and was edited by the mlp crew cause of a bunch of moms

"Choose" to be offended? Are you sure you're old enough to have a KZfaq account?

Mr. Pokirby you're talking to a guy who makes funny anime cracks

Or to say, *_"who choose knowingly to be offended (on someone else's behalf) rather than having an open mind._* ;''3

Unless said morons get a hold of daddy's money and sue you. But what are the odds of that ever happening?

And if they win? Well, the news of THAT little debacle (and more importantly who was responsible) would DEFINITELY get out to the fans of the show. And given WE kind of created her... let's just say inciting the wrath of a majorly invested fanbase like this is a BAD idea. Countersues, for one thing. Names being dragged through the mud for another. Heck, if that HAD happened, it might've been a wake-up call to SJWs everywhere that their actions AREN'T WELCOMED BY THEIR "PROTECTORATES"! Unlikely, but a guy can dream...
