( Fairy1234) Your loss then. I thought it was a great episode.
From what everyone is saying, it’s just going to do nothing but trigger rage from me. And I’m already pissed off at what I’ve been told 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?!
So the grey pegasus with lopsided eyes is now offically called “derpy” and has a slurred speech. Since her discovery by the fans, she's always been Derpy. Even Lauren Faust has referred to her as Derpy.
This is so fucking ablest, I can’t even believe that this is actually on a children’s program 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
VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lgbLp9Z3eA Do you know what this is going to do? It’s going to encourage able bodied children that it’s ok to be ablest and that it’s ok to laugh at other children with disabilities 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.
Don’t we get enough of this shit with bullies endlessly hurting and making fun of children who are queer? What does that have to do with anything?
This needs to stop. It’s not funny, it’s hurtful. 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?
Also, fuck you fandom for encouraging the creators to do this shit. 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!!
I’m done with this show. I’m done. Good. No one's gonna miss ya.
I’m done. Until Lauren Faust and the rest of the creators get rid of this episode, change the pegasus’ name to Ditzy Doo and make a legitimate apology, I’m no longer watching any more of the new episodes. 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.
As someone who has Asperger’s Syndrome and has been called “retarded” before, this fucking hurts me. 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.
It’s obvious that the creators don’t care about people with disabilities. 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?
They don’t care that children with disabilities have watched this episode and are crushed that one of their favorite shows is now mocking and laughing at them. 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.
I really want to make a petition or send letters to the creators but I highly doubt they’ll listen or they’ll just say we’re being too sensitive or some shit. 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.
