So maybe my head's been in the clouds, or maybe I've just been working too much (think it's the latter), but it's come to my attention that apparently in one of the recent MLP episodes there has been a big backlash towards Derpy.

From what I understand, as someone who boarded that episode, was that she was never meant to be displayed as "mentally challenged" but rather an accident-prone klutz.  A pony that whatever they touched or did ended up in some sort of small chaos.  She kinda reminded me of myself in a funny way.  (Let's just say I was capable of getting 2nd degree burns from a grilled cheese sandwich only a few weeks ago)...derp.

It's sad to see that so many people are/were viewing her in a way that (I couldn't possibly think) was ever intended by the writers or the artists to begin with.  The name Derpy I would assume was supposed to be a nod to the fans, and I was always under the impression that the internet term "derp" meant when someone screwed something up or made a silly mistake.  The combination of her googly eyes, her fan given name, and now her animated "actions" would never make me believe she was mentally challenged.  

Just my thoughts.

I realize it's been said already, but I just wanted to pass along that all of us bronies all the way across Canada in Halifax were floored and absolutely amazed, happy and overjoyed that Derpy was put into the episode. Haters are gonna hate, there's no pleasing everyone yadda yadda haha. Quix said it best below, that the people who love her far outweigh those who were upset. A sincere east coast thank you to the whole crew for doing it, and working so hard with what you all do on the show, our deepest thanks can't really be expressed into words! <3

Yo, the few haters towards Derpy dont even come close to those who really love her. Keep up the good work and thank you all for always thinking of the fans and remember what Twilight said "When you try to please every-pony, you often times end up pleasing no-pony, especially yourself" =:3

Adding my voice to the chorus of people telling you not to worry about the Derpy "controversy." The backlash is practically nonexistent; it's basically the product of four or five individuals who are upset that their fan interpretations of Derpy are no longer in line with the show.

The remaining 99.9995% of us were overjoyed by the shout-out. I hope those of you working on the show aren't discouraged by the groaning of a few bad apples.

Internet drama is NOT magic.

Hey there! Now, mostly I just wanted to say that if I were you, I wouldn't pay much attention to negative people. Take "the Derpy incident" for instance. Practically no one thought there was anything wrong with it, those who did are trolls, care too much, and/or underestimate children. If they can take Lion King, surely they can take My Little Pony.. :P It's really mind-boggling how it's always the adults who are offended, and never the kids. Go figure, eh? Likewise, it's always the negative people who are the loudest, and that can cause a person to feel like no one appreciates their work, while 99,9% silently love it. That's me and all my buddies, for example.

I think you intentionally put Berry Punch in this scene. :iconohyouplz:

I never worked on that episode :P

Well someone did, and I think it was deliberate, just like pairing Bon Bon and Lyra/Heartstrings together in this scene. (Oh hey, look! Berry punch looks funny in that particular frame.) Giving Doctor Whooves the hourglass timing job was a great idea too. I speak on behalf of the fandom when I say "Thank you!" to whoever boarded those things.

Ahhh been working lots on my car and keeping busy with Pony work. :) So...not too bad I'd say, thank you.

How about yourself?

:iconbennaroosky:
Not too bad, thanks. :) I work in a hospital now, which can be insanely hectic at times, but it's fantastic to be able to help people. Also been taking voice acting classes on the side, which is just stupid amounts of fun. XD Glad to hear you're doing well.

Hospital eh? Sounds like a challenge...nice to see you're up to it! Voice Acting sounds really cool too...not something that I'd be any good at, but good on ya!
