So much love and tolerance in the air right now by Yamino

Woooooooooooow. Just wow. Derp is a meme and has a few meanings. It doesnt always mean retarded, and it was being used in an endearing manner. She wasnt retarded, it was her eyes that got the name. It's people like you that are offended by everything that make the world a worse place because people LOVED this character, and you were a small part of why she-the character was changed, just so YOU wouldnt be offended. Selfish really. What's the matter with imperfection on TV. Why do they have to be perfect. Speech slurs, stuttering, and  crosseyed-ness should be on tv to get people to be more tolerant towards this. I have a stutter, I wish she stuttered or something like that, thad make her more relatable. Go get off your high horse and let the world be, get offended, well thats a personal problem nothing you should inflict on someone else. As an example, You may be atheist, your christian friends hear this, now they HAVE to get you to believe and they wont do anything with you unless you go to church with them to find this nonexistent god people like so much. To sum it up, you helped taking things too far. People loved this imperfect character. Good job in being a part in ruining that. You can argue against me but you got almost every brony on my side.

I hate people. Everyone's a retard online. I think you're cool man.

Christ you're a real piece of shit. People like you are why tumblr Social Justice Warriors are ridiculed, because you latch onto crap like this and shit-stir for attention

I love all this butthurt in the comments. XD

2 years later and people are still making asses out of themselves? ...what?

guys... everybody has their own opinion. Respecting someone's opinion doesn't necessarily mean you agree with it, but stop with the hating comments. You could be hurting her feelings...

Love and tolerance my ass.

derpy is an awesome name you f*King gumby

I disagree with you and your opinions, and wish you much misfortune and unhappiness in the future. I realize that it's petty, but seriously what gave you the right to be offended on my behalf as a mentally disabled person?

Yeah it's a little late, but better late then never.

So...characters like Snips and Snails, Patrick, and Goofy get to stay, despite them being equally, if not more, offensive than she is? Or are girls not supposed to be retarded? Is that it?!

What about Goofy from Disney cartoons? Are you against him being there too? Seeing as "Goofy" is just as offensive as "Derpy".

This.....is freaking pathetic. One of the many reasons why I don't watch MLP. (btw i just found out about this so yeah...)

I understand your opinion, but I think Derpy was a great addition to the show.
Encouraging that it is okay to be different. My friend, who suffers from a 'mental' disability LOVES her. He thinks it's great that young children's shows are tackling that issue.
I also read the brony article you wrote on your tumblr, while I agree on some, I believe some phrases were exaggerated.

Yeah, I kinda feel like a poop after meeting you. You're really awesome, I'm really digging Sister Claire a whole heck of a lot.

I am, and always have been on Yamino's side. And anyone willing to subtract even one fucking second of their day in order to spend time bashing her for shit they're not even entirely certain she did is just another worthless brony who's let their rose-tinted glasses not allow them to see the problems with the things they claim they adhere to and love. This is why I don't choose to pertain to the label "brony". It's fucking filthy.

I've read all of the links describing why this SHOULD be offensive, and you know what? I'm not seeing it. Should we be offended simply by the portrayal of a mentally/physically handicapped pony in a children's cartoon? If so, why?

I've read that others find this offensive, and so I should respect their opinion... but that's not my way. I respect that you HAVE and ARE ENTITLED TO an opinion, but if you can't provide a substantive line of reasoning supporting it, then I'm certainly not going to respect it.

That a pony is portrayed as mentally/physically handicapped pony is not offensive. To BE offended by such is, ironically enough, offensive... at least, to me. Handicapped people are among us, living and interacting socially with everyone else, just like everyone else. Rainbow Dash treated her as incapable? Is this not the perfect opportunity to include a scenario just like this, that any kid watching the show might find themselves involved with in the real world, and then demonstrate how such people might overcome their initial reactions and treat others with the same respect they expect? Or should we just sweep them under the rug, and not acknowledge their existence at all?

That the pony is named Derpy is also not offensive, or at the very least it is no more offensive than, say, Ditzy. Of course, some people could find it offensive... but then, some people could find Pinkie Pie offensive. Why? Because the same deviant social group that uses derp as an insulting term also interpret Pinkie Pie's name as 'vagina'. So yeah, let's get rid of her too, because you know that reprobates are out there doing this, and removing her from the show is the surest way to prevent this from happening... oh, wait.

So yeah... if this is the best that you can manage, then I would say that the anger is justified, even if some of the responses are not. Why don't you spend some time being offended by some of the truly offensive stereotypical depictions of the main ponies in the series?

I doubt you'll read this, but what the hell.
"A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. Brought to life in the South Park series, when Mr. Derp made a guest apperance at South Park Elementary as the chef for a day, followed by hitting himself in the head with a hammer and exclaiming "Derp!""
The Term Derp does not mean (And I can't believe I'm saying this)[Le Triggerwarning XXDDDDD] Retarded, Mentally Defunct, Or stupid. It is an exclamation of silliness, and the fact that someone can get exasperated over the fact that a Character from a cartoon for little girls has a name 'Derpy' (A name lovingly given to her by the fans of the show as a term of endearment due to her crossed eyes from an animation error). Also, crossed eyes does not equate to retardation; I'd ask you to educate yourself as to what 'Brown's Syndrome' is(Start here: [link]), but I know that you are beyond accepting this; as it challenges your anti-abliest belief system. And 4chan is not promoting your page to direct flamers at you, that is ridiculous. The internet is an open medium and people are going to find your deviant-art page; Especially when you do something stupid.

Your numbers are going up but your fans are going down. Your now famous for fucking up 2 shows for your own selfish ends, how do you think a new fandom will react to you when they see you joining?

You got to exercise a little bit of cliquey power and attention whore like a lonely 16 year old, but in the end was it really worth it for anyone?

Having only become a brony after the "Derpygate" incident, it is my understanding your only "crime" (or so to speak) in the matter is expressing concern about how people CAN interpret the name "Derpy" in a negative light. While I do understand such an interpretation, I do not agree with it. But neither do I agree with the idea that CHOOSING to interpret the name as an endearing character trait, which I know you know a number of fans (including myself) practice, gives one the right to act condescending and, for lack of a better word, cruel to others for having different thoughts.

I would like to think that if I were a brony by the time "Derpygate" were in full swing, I would have reacted in a more civilized manner than others. But I realize such hopes are of folly. And so, I will simply remain fond of the show and all its fans with the decency to act out of kindness and understanding rather than cruelty and ignorance. For the latter, I will not tolerate them. Because quite frankly, if both the show and your experiences have taught me anything, it's that are times when one must face people who don't DESERVE to be tolerated.

aw, I feel so bad for you!
Nobody deserves to be hated this much.
But I see what you mean about the character. And I don't get why people are this angry. Hasbro changed the name and fixed the eyes, and that's that.

the term "Derpy" does not directly relate to being in any way shape or form "retarded" or to have any mental issue. but leans more towards laziness or absent mindedness

I don't agree with you with regards this, but you're not precisely doing morally wrong either. These bronies on the other hand...

People still keep mentioning you on /co/.
