Derpy fans.

So I was all for the "bring back Derpy" thing that people are getting all rattled up about, but then I looked at some of the people who supported the return of Derpy.

 

They were comparing Derpy to a lot of other stupid cartoon characters and just bringing them down to shit. Like characters from shows from CartoonNetwork and such.

 

To me, CartoonNetwork is more for teens then little kids. If you want to see a children's show, go to the Hub, Nick jr, or PBS kids.

 

And they admit to Derpy being retarded and so they think, "Hey! If a retarded character from a show for little girls is offensive, then that must mean retarded from characters from a cartoon for a higher age audience is offensive too!"

 

Then why don't people bitch about Timmy from South Park being offensive and make a big fuss about removing him?

 

So comparing a cross-eyed clumsy pony from a little girls show to a stupid character from a teen related show is the same thing?

 

Sometimes I just hate the brony fandom for reasons like this.

 

It almost makes me hope they completely remove Derpy from the show forever.

 

If it wasn't the fact that Dery is a pony, nobody would give 2 shits.

 

My fate in the brony fandom is slowly dying from these extreme fan boys/girls.

I totally agree. I've been trying to say this for forever, but no one seems to understand how comparisons work. I'm not going to compare broccoli to apples and make it out like they are the same thing.

 

Further, I don't get the Hub, so I have to watch the show on a toddler-ish channel called Treehouse (Which scares me) and watching Party of One, during Pinkie's going crazy scene, they muted the word "losers"... so if we can't say losers, surely a supposedly disabled pony is going to stir something up with over protective mothers.

 

Comparisons should be done on the same level. If they were to compare MLP with a show like Animaniacs, that would be fine, but as you said, the comparisons made don't work.

I can somewhat get what your saying, but what about snips and snails? I'm a little more upset because While they appear to be censoring Derpy they continue to have snips and snails act the same who in my opinion act worse then Derpy.

Snips and Snails and Puppydog tails that's when little boys are made of

Sugar Spice and everything nice that's what little girls are made of.

 

Snips and Snails are boys and boy will be boys

Yes, however they have a supporting role, and need to act that way to benefit the story. Derpy on the other hand, does not.

What about the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen"? in that episode We had a cameo by Derpy where she drops supplies from a moving van. Being good-meaning but a little clumsy has always seemed to be a part of her character. People who use the excuse that Derpy is offensive could say the same about Snip's and Snail's who it can be said teach people to do anything their idol requests even if it means degrading themselves.

 

This is just my opinion and please don't think I'm trying to start a war I'm simply stating my feelings towards the Derpy controversy.
