Deviation Actions
Because I made a few posts about how I don't like the name "Derpy."
Apparently Hasbro was pressuring WeLoveFine to remove or rename all merchandise with that character, and iTunes pulled the episode where she had a speaking role from their online store.
I've been accused of starting a petition that I've never even heard of in order to make this happen.
I'm very flattered, but bronies are giving me WAY too much credit for all this. (If only I had that sort of power to manipulate a giant corporation like Hasbro.) I'm not the only, or even the most active person speaking up about the problematic elements with the character. I just happen to be a very high-profile fan who has mentioned it a few times.
Here are some posts by other folks explaining why it's an issue:

The name recall is more likely more related to copyright issues than anything. Hasbro wants to own all their characters, but I bet they will have difficulty copywriting a slur like "derpy."
I find it a bit ironic that early on when I posted my opinion, I was accused of doing it for attention. But now, 4chan is promoting the hell out of my deviantart page in an effort to direct flames at me:
This was unexpected, but I couldn't have asked for a better promotion. So, thank you.
And thank you to those speaking up for me and setting the record straight in the comments, I appreciate it.

Taking Guest Comics!
Hello guys!! We have an announcement to make regarding updates starting July 3rd.
As some of you may know, Elena hasn’t been feeling so well! She’s been battling a pesky sinusitis that won’t go away, so now she has to undertake minor surgery to get that fixed. She’ll be perfectly all right, but we are SKIPPING UPDATES FOR ONE/TWO WEEKS, to allow her to recover.
So there will not be Comic or Missing Moments updates for at least a week, possibly two. Hopefully, Elena will be feeling better by then! And after that we’ll return as regular.
BUT!! We’re not leaving you guys just hanging ;)
We’ll be taking
