Derpy is best waifu

XD

Cackle, that is absolutely silly.

really!

We're all a little Derpy.

That is definitely an amazing reason set.... This only reinforces the fact that Derpy is firmly in my top 5 ponies, and the reason to keep her there.

To post or not to post... Hmmmmmm.....

Meh. Quiet is boring so why not. TO POST!

WARNING: What follows is MY OPINION. Please do not kill me ;_;

Derpy is definitely my favorite character in the show, hooves down -but for different reasons.

I am completely new to this whole fandom so I might be wrong, but from what I can see Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo's character and personality are mostly developed outside of the show itself, by fans. What little of her is shown in the show (without being censored) is a pony that is clumsy and often 'needs' help.

This is the genius that is Derpy Hooves.

She can get anyone to do anything for her simply because they either do not take her seriously or think she needs help. 

That is powerful.

Granted, this opinion is colored by real-life experience. My best friend in high school was cross-eyed. There were so many times I wanted to strangle her (playfully, of course... maybe *-*) when other students would do her share of the work in a group project or she would bat those eyes and watch strangers immediately cave and give her special treatment because they thought she needed it. Everyone did it except the teachers who were strictest with her. Why? Well because what those featherheads did not know was that she was darn near the smartest brat in our class! She got all A's!

She graduated the Valedictorian and everyone thought it had been rigged to make her feel special. No one realized she was actually super smart. -And she saw no reason to enlighten them. Actually, she thought it was hilarious because if even a single one of these people had bothered to spend time with her, to sincerely talk with her (like I did), they would have realized the truth of her smarts pretty quickly. She didn't hide it maliciously, but she didn't broadcast it either, meaning only the people that thought less of her from the outset were duped. 

This, I think, is the genius of Derpy Hooves and why I think censoring her to be so hilarious because it is only in people's own minds that she is stupid or mentally challenged. In the few episodes I've seen her, I have been bursting out laughing at her smarts and abilities -because that is the way I see them. That is exactly how vague this character is! Censoring is a laugh when it is only people's perceptions that need to be censored to which I say "Good luck, Hasbro. You will need it!"

Overall though, I completely agree that Derpy is best pony -although I do it for completely different reasons and I just want to pose one question: What if Derpy wasn't quite so derpy?

Food for thought! ^-^

Ye, my post was mostly related to the show, rather than delving into all the fanon about Her~

I've never thought she was less intelligent than anypone else, myself. Being clumsy, and having a lisp are not relative to ones level of intelligence.

Heck, when I start trying to push thoughts out of my mouth as fast as my brain creates them, I can develop a small stutter.

That's the biggest reason their caving and censorship really irks me. The ignorant, oversensitive masses assumed she was an idiot, or handicapped in some way.

It's like they saw a horse with shadows thrown over it, called it a Zebra, and rather than be wrong, they screamed about it, blaming everypone else for having bad eyes, until somepone grew tired of it, gave up, and painted the horse with stripes.

So, you could say I don't think Derpy is Derpy, but I like to use that name for her.
