Seriously, Jim Miller, you are the coolest showrunner ever.  No pandering to politically correct nonsense, no wishy-washy worrying about what may offend people, we were truly blessed to have the show staff we did. It's been a good long seven years since that controversy over Derpy's name died down, and this still warms my heart to know that the makers of the show were always on our side.

I should be allowed to call her by any nickname, whether Derpy, Ditzy, Muffins, or Bubbles.

Heck I call the Earth Pony officially named  Time Turner by one source, "Dr. Hooves Time Turner" as his full "Professional" name. So I could work in the fan-loved Dr. Who nod with the fact he gave my character a time turner that helped served a purpose in my fanon.

I still see her called 'Muffins' in the credits and that should be amended. But still, the creative people behind the show should call her whatever they want as long as it is what they want and not because of some silly lingering fear of backlash.

Derpy forever...  *wipes away tear*

The show ends and Little Jimmy starts beating his chest. Stunning and brave.

I didn't know people wanted to censor Derpy Hooves in the first place.

It was because "derp" or "derpy" is a slur against people who are mentally challenged. Almost like "r*tard".

Oh, that would make sense then that some people would want that to be censored.
