It's odd that a show showing messages like "Believe in yourself" and "Be comfortable with who you are" would CHANGE something about one of their characters just because people didn't like it. Isn't that like... totally ironic of the point you're trying so hard to make? o.o

For the most part, fans loved Derpy and supported and loved her the way she was. Even people that had mental disabilities loved Derpy and wanted her the way she was. What hurt was when the soccer moms started complaining about Derpy being offensive. To me, any soccer mom that can't stand for Derpy to be simply be as she is and who she is must be ashamed of her own child.

"Whether his heart or his shoes, he stood there on Mt. Crumpet, hating the Whoes."
In the end, it doesn't really matter who made Hasbro drop Derpy. It simply annoys me to no end that everyone's gotten so obsessed with being politically correct, that a group of complete trolls can say jump, and companies like Hasbro say "How high?" without even stopping to check the source, first.
