Just a Friendly Reminder

[Stonehawk]

The writer in charge of THAT EPISODE has clarified that Derpy is Ditzy Doo's nickname.

[InB4Desu]

@Stonehawk

But others who work on the show have claimed otherwise.

She's even called "Derpy" by the staff during episode planning.

[pieguyX]

@kassark16 u make me want to face palm just stfu. derpy is good plain as that i bet ur the only brony who thinks so. u take things too seriously

Why does it seem that when anything awesome happens (Derpy becoming official) some prick has to come along and bitch and ruin everyone's fun?

[xL1PEx]

durpee

[DrewX86X]

Save Derpy !!!!!!!!!!!!

[ynorBehT]

What? Did I miss something? Please explain somebody? :P They changed derpy's name? :O

[ScreamingScallop]

@ynorBehT

Details at EquestriaDaily. Simple Version: (1) Derpy spoke; called "Derpy." (2) Sudden OUTRAGE HOW DARE YOU SHE'S NOT WELL DON'T MAKE FUN OF HER OH MY GOD YOU NAZIS YOU ****ING NAZIS (3) iTunes pulls the episode. (4) Seller WeLoveFine removes name from all Derpy-related items. (5) EqD posts petition(s) to "save" Derpy. (6) Hasbro quiet, DVD with episode still a "go" for now. (7) Tabitha St. Germaine pulls Derpy's name from her post entries; EqD assumes it's for lulz.

[ynorBehT]

@ScreamingScallop Ohh, ok. Thanks for your reply! Aren't people overreacting a little bit..?

[ScreamingScallop]

@ynorBehT Well, the good news is: WeLoveFine just renamed all their Derpy items as...well, Derpy items.

This will pass. I don't think for a second that there's a single honest-to-goodness "concerned parent" involved in this: the whole thing smacks of trolls and nothing else. Anti-bronies, perhaps, and perhaps trolls within the herd itself.

[ScreamingScallop]

"My name is Derpy Hooves

and I am here to stay

concern trolls can go buck themselves

and get out of my wa-aa-aa-ay..."

TAKE IT AWAY, BRONIES

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

>mfw she talked

:O

[protoncode]

@NotOrdinaryInGames

>yfw she talked

:O <=======3

Seriously though it's not a big deal.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

@protoncode >look, I made an ASCII dick

[protoncode]

@NotOrdinaryInGames So you made an ASCII dick? Or are you calling me a dick?

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

@protoncode No, you did that, and I just stated the obvious.

Also, Hasbro may or may not be responsible for taking the episode down off iTunes.

[protoncode]

@NotOrdinaryInGames I know right the penis is Hasbro ruining your hopes and dreams.

[ser6Ijvolk]

And yet, this means nothing. Maybe "derpy" is just a pony swear, like "dumbass". I know I'd have harsher words for someone who almost electrocuted me.

[sab3600]

Sorry I dont understand where your getting at. Have people been saying that that isnt her name ?

[willsjackoful]

HOW DO I GET IT TO STOP1!?!?!

[archlorddestin]

The only thing thats really questionable is the gender.

[InsanityPerfected1]

@archlorddestin As far as I read they used a voice actor fitting for a male voice by mistake, so Derpy is a she.

[archlorddestin]

Was anyone doubting it?

[BulimisexualSprites]

I don't know what derpy means, obviously it must be offensive slang. It would seem MLP has had a secret agenda this whole time to make fun of the mentally handicapped. Because, you know, there's good money to be made in that.

[ArM00geddon]

@BulimisexualSprites It means prone to fuckups. clumsy. DITZY. IT's nothing offensive.

[ArM00geddon]

@BulimisexualSprites Excuse me, I only read half your comment before responding to it. didn't see the sarcasm.

[tamral31]

I feel shame and sadness at this whole affair

[evilone144000]

Durr pee.

[alphaman19s]

*awaiting brony shit-storm*

[XAgentShawn]

People are trying to strip Derpy of her name.

How un-brony-like.

[kutegurl67]

While the name 'Derpy' has grown on me, I just don't see who else 'Ditzy Doo' could possibly be. But if that's what she's called, then that's what she's called. I might prefer to think that Ditzy Doo is her real name and Derpy is just a nickname, but if she's Derpy to everypony else, then I guess she's Derpy. I know we'd still love her either way. :)

[TheTaleofNight]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore, TO EQUESTRIA!!!

[TypicalUsername1]

When characters like Goofy and gir are famous

people: oh ok

When a background character is clumsy

same people: OMGWTF ABLEIST DESTORY HER NOOOOOOOOW!!!!

[awsomekidpspfanboy]

Um ok what was the fucking point of that!!!!!!!!?

[Purerasslin]

@awsomekidpspfanboy buncha pricks got their panties in a knot about Derpy's name being offensive or some crap

[awsomekidpspfanboy]

@Purerasslin oh yea i heard about that.

[mannystella]

This is a dark day in the fandom, but it will all pass and everything will be better again, hopefully.

[HaloLvl43Legit]

@jhaller2 Bueno

[ScootalooIsaChicken]

god i hate everyone in this fandom... i dont care anymore

[Ravengaurd6]

@ScootalooIsaChicken I know. I know. let's just move along. all you need is the show. no time for drama.

[Internetspaceships]

IM MENATALLY REATRDED AND I APRPOVE OF THIS NAME!

[chefmkt]

The things that I miss out on because of time zones, I swear.

[theauthorman123]

Realy, the people who are complaining about this are all being ungreatful cocks. Hasbro has been slipping her in more and more, culminating in her being referred to by name AND having a speaking role, all because THEY WANTED TO SHOW US BRONIES THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED AND APPRECIATED OUR WATCHING THEIR SHOW. And these guys reacted by claiming her name and behaviour are insulting to mentally disabled people (which is bullshit on both counts, btw; do these guys not know what derp means?)

Fuck 'em.

[XxMariofan21xX]

@theauthorman123 Haha, bronies are fighting amongst themselves now...; over a name? What happened to the whole 'love and tolerance' thing? This is really stupid.

[misguidedbrick]

Go to Waggoner Cartoons3 go to the video that says help save derpy go to description click the link and sign the petetion. We must protect Derpy!

[HaloLvl43Legit]

NO loop?

[Biolizard4000]

Jerky Jerky Jerky Jerky

[raymofourteen]

TRUE DAT!!

[shadowdemon1375]

Dat spring noise...

Wait, this video was about something else?

[hippiechik95]

Really, the only people I've heard complaining about Derpy are diehard fans of the name Ditzy Doo and Hasbro themselves. Derpy may be a strange name, and indeed a strange pony at first glance, but she is definitely not mentally challenged, just clumsy and walleyed. Anyone who thinks otherwise is most likely basing their assumptions on stereotypes, and that's bad.

[kassarc16]

@hippiechik95 The term "Derpy" has never been more than an insult. And while clumsy and wall-eyed are fine, they overdid it to the point of stupidity. The real problem is that the fandom is now explicitly invading the show, and it's not for the better.

[mannystella]

@kassarc16 /watch?v=YmOxnt215ek&list=PL62­19C1DECD2CBB07&index=141&featu­re=plpp_video

[kassarc16]

@mannystella Why should I care about that video? It is an insult, just like stupid is. However, yes, there are occasions when it is used in jest. It boils down to the point that "Derpy Hooves" is bad because of this: it's a terrible name (nowhere near other established conventions) only liked by those with fan blinders on, mistakenly voiced as a male thus being a terrible voice for a female character, and her entire character was overdone to the point of being horrible.

[kassarc16]

@kassarc16 The fact that "Brony" influenced materially has blatantly ended up in the show means it's on a slow and painful slide from where it used to be.

[kassarc16]

@kassarc16 Don't get me wrong, I am a Brony, but I prefer the fanon and canon to stay separate as much as possible.

[klaykid117]

it's derpy 'nuff said

[mtalsonic3000]

@MisterGerp lol sega doesnt give a fuck

[TheGreatUrameshi13]

People need to realize the difference between "klutz" and "mentally deficient."

[RagnarokiaNG]

I, and most others, approve of Derpy, I really don't see the problem with her having the name the fandom gave her. We gave her it for a reason. And they understood that reason.

[RexNinja500]

So much agreement was had as I watched this video.

[mtalsonic3000]

You know your videos are going to get deleted by hasbro if you keep using derpy. They told the guys who own the t-shirts of ponies to take out derpy shirts.

[LiLP0rKCh0P121]

@mtalsonic3000

DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! DERPY!

Did I ruin the show yet?

[MisterGerp]

@mtalsonic3000 You know your name is going to get deleted by Sega if you keep using Sonic.

[jhaller2]

@mtalsonic3000 Wake me up when Kyrospawn's channel gets taken down.

[Ravengaurd6]

@jhaller2 that won't happen because atleast 30 seconds of content has to be present in a video to qualify as reasons to sanction the uploader...Kyro's vids are 12 seconds on average :)

[LiLP0rKCh0P121]

@Ravengaurd6

Because, as you can clearly see, 13 seconds is infinitely longer than 12 seconds, and deserves the full weight of copyright infringement penalties.

...Really people? I thought we LIKED this show.

[Ravengaurd6]

@LiLP0rKCh0P121 I DO like the show. I LOVE THE SHOW. However, I'm not in control of the fates that befall those that risk the ban-hammer in pursuit of their expression. I can only support them. If I could pay money to get my bros off the the hook I would. a whole slew of bronies would. NO ONE expected the backlash received for the cameo of derpy, none intended her character to be interpreted as a stereotype of the mentally disabled. we knew what we meant for her to be. goofy.

[LiLP0rKCh0P121]

@Ravengaurd6

While I'm sure people appreciate the sentiment, if J were worried about Hasbro taking down his stuff, he probably wouldn't post it. And another thing: you're trying to explain this to someone who DOESN'T agree with all the drama being caused by this, so no offense, but it's better used on the people causing the problem.

[Ravengaurd6]

@LiLP0rKCh0P121 that's cool, man. I'm not freaking out. I just really don't need anything screwing up the show because of some drama over minutia. carry on,love.

[Ravengaurd6]

@JimRaynorRaider Nope. he has no ads. they are too short to contain ads so he can't really gain from a partnership. it would be illegal anyways.

[alexmeanberg]

@jhaller2 How much should we really give a shit? Is Hasbro pissed at Studio B for putting in Derpy at all?

[Over9000and5]

I can't believe these people who are essentially ruining Derpy haven't looked at themselves and said "Maybe I shouldn't ruin this for 95% of the fandom."

[Strosester]

Derpy is the once and forever Best Pony. Nuff Said.

[theroyalpain]

Wow. Internet speak gets to TV and fans bitch.

Nothing pleases these people.

[ditto325]

I'm a brony and what is this?

[MisterGerp]

I agree, the story editor will always be Rob Renzetti!

[Deafdoom33]

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"

and a lazy-eyed pony by any other name would act just as clumsily.

[Drakomis]

What? What shit?

[FlCl3000]

@Drakomis a lot of people have freaked out and said it is offensive and what not

[Drakomis]

@FlCl3000 Oh that's bullshit. I'm mentally impaired and I view Derpy Hooves as my hero.

[FlCl3000]

i cant believe all the shit that has come of this

[Sexualwendigo]

So...

[littlereyrey]

I couldn't agree more.
