Daddytops2009, Please NEVER post that again! Thank you! ![]() Anyways, anyone want to make a prediction as to HOW Rainbow Dash ends up in the hospital in the next episode? I predict a flying stunt gone wrong. |

Don't mind me, I'm mentally insane.

Pangaea: Good point, I'll be sure to remember that. And I know that Cave Johnson would be so proud of both us.![]() My guess is that during the last few seconds of this scene was when Rainbow Dash remembered a certain infamous story involving her and Pinkie Pie. My point is, I LOVED the change in facial expressions. |

Earlier I was watching TV in Star Sports, their show "GAME" when Skyrim appeared and they showed some modifications in the game... INCLUDING THE MY LITTLE PONY MOD. I was basically stunned at first, then bursted out in laughter when they zoomed in on the drago- err i mean Fluttershy's face.

Blame Yamino for this clustef---. Most of the bronies like the name "Derpy". ---------------- Do people have to get offended about everything!? Jeez, I didn't think "derp" was meant as an ableist slur. I thought it was a polite way to say "you f---ed up". Nevertheless, I will still refer to her as Derpy, much like I still refer to my Wii as the "Revolution". Granted, I don't like her voice that much but only because the voice is too masculine. Still, it works. ----------------
Read this rant. Overanalyzing too much? |

Actually the fandom wasn't the main pivotal point in this. True, they're the ones that got Derpy up on the screen, but parents who were being 'politically correct' thought that Derpy's voice and demeanor was mocking the mentally disabled. And those who complained were part of the minority as a whole.

Way too much. It's almost bordering on the "Pokemon encourages children to keep demonic animal familiars" or "Harry Potter encourags children to dabble in the occult" overanalysis. In fact I saw a video a while back that actually predicted that it was only a matter of time before the PC-extremists got their claws on this show (Though his prediction involved peopls accusing cutie marks encouraging children to get buttock-tattoos) I encourage y'all to go ahed and sign this here petition. It might not help, but it's worth a try. |

I find the whole Derpy debate absolutely ridiculous. To me, the people against Derpy's name rank up there with those women who believe that Santa Claus' catchphrase "Ho Ho Ho" is offensive to them. Puh-lease! I'm positive that enough people will sign that petition, I however didn't sign it because I'm wary about stuff that requires posting personal information. That's just me.

Well, looks like Derpy has her name back! ![]() http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/derp...-love-fine.html In other pony news, however, the names of MLP Plushies are being taken down from eBay. Also, it is NOT Hasbro's doing. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/impo...reators-on.html What is going on?

Your loss then. I thought it was a great episode.
So one small scene is enough to keep you from watching the rest of the episode? One scene that wasn't even really that important to the rest of the story is going to keep you from seeing this episode? Did you ever consider, oh, I dunno, SKIPPING OVER IT?!
Since her discovery by the fans, she's always been Derpy. Even Lauren Faust has referred to her as Derpy.
Oh my goodness! You mean to tell me that a cartoon meant for kids had a cross eyed character that talked slow?! HOW HORRIBLE! Surely this atrocity has never been witnessed in any kids cartoon ever! Oh wait http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lgbLp9Z3eA
Okay, I'm a little confused here. You say that this is going to encourage ABLE BODIED children to laugh at those with disabilities. Are you talking about children in, say wheelchairs or mentally challenged kids? If it's the latter then you're not using that term correctly.
What does that have to do with anything?
Where were you when Snips and Snails were introduced? You say that the protrayal of Derpy is hurtful but what about Snips and Snails? Don't they have slurred speeches? Aren't they slow?
You're absolutely right. Bronies are absolute monsters! How dare we encourage the creators to give us a shoutout! Clearly these grown adults can't think for themselves and do whatever we want them to do. Oh, the humanity!!
Good. No one's gonna miss ya.
Lauren Faust and the MLP team don't have to do anything to appease you, you self entitled prick. And again, no one cares if you stop watching the show. Lauren Faust and Hasbro won't be losing any sleep over it.
Oh, do not even go there. I have Asperger's too and I've also been called retarded and I love Derpy. I think she's a really cute character and I hope team MLP still keep her around.
Please. That's a lie and you know it. How much you wanna bet that at least one person on team MLP has a disability?
Or maybe they realize that these disabled children will watch the show, think nothing of what Derpy "represents" or whatever, find Derpy's antics humorous, and just go about their day? Really, I'm starting to think that children nowadays have more sense than people my age or older.
Take it from somebody who has Asperger's just like you: You ARE being too sensitive. You're throwing a hissy fit and cussing over something that's not even a big deal. This episode wasn't even about Derpy. She was only in like what, maybe three or five scenes? Now if this episode was about making fun of Derpy and her "disability" or if it had Dash call Derpy a "retard" or something like that, then I might see where you're coming from. Sorry if what I said offends anyone on here. But I just don't pull my punches with BS like this. |

Trolls are supected for the EBay takedowns. But EBay users have also been suspected. Their motive, revenge; because they were not able to sell similar fan items (Pokèmon, Final Fantasy, etc.) would getting screwed by the company owning said property, they decided to lash out at the most obvious choice. A tiny subset believes that some bronies are responsible. Either way, I think Hasbro might "look the other way" for now just like they did with the hardcover copies of Past Sins, Fallout Equestria and the two pieces of pony fanfic on Lulu.com. |

Anyone else want to bet that if Goofy were a recent addition to the world of animation, he'd also be considered a "hurtful" stereotype of disabled people? You think Derpy's bad? Try watching an episode of Monk. ...Or British comedy. |
