DiscordAnarchy 770 March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 skip to 16:30 to see the Derp. Apparently it is okay to have a character in a kids' show who is not only phyiscally deformed that is pretty brain dead, but it is also okay to have the only thing the creature say as being "DERP DERP DERP" but GODS FORBID we have a clumsy blond pony named derpy.

Bastion 414 March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 Ok. What the holy f*** is that! How this managed to get past the broadcasters I will never know, and this is my problem with it, Derpy was a background character who's eyes went off because of a animation glitch with the software. THIS Is directly created with the derpyness intended, hell it even shouts derp, derp, derp. while thoughtlessly killing plenty of people in its path. 5 A samurai pyromancer? That's a bit overpowered.

Totally Ducklett 181 March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 (edited) Holy shit. What the hell heck is that?! DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP DERP! Kinda sounds like me a little bit! Well, our derpy doesn't murder a bunch of people, so that's the problem. America needs murder to like something. No murder, no airtime! :3 Edited March 6, 2014 by Dwucky-Wucky 3 Quack.

Andaasonsan 3,205 March 6, 2014 Share March 6, 2014 So I take it we're going by the classic formula wrong + wrong = right where if Nickelodeon has an offensive character on TMNT, then the Hub could have an offensive character on MLP and the two would cancel out so they would cease to be offensive?

Makes sense to me. little problem with your story there dude. Derpy isn't offensive. Just because she's got what some call 'derpy' eyes doesn't mean she's offensive. My brother has a lazy eye, and he loves derpy. But this... Thing is literally a walking idiotic killing machine that's literally meant to be stupid to the point of being painful.

Shanks 10,816 March 7, 2014 Share March 7, 2014 As much as I like the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I do not like their version of Michaelangello. Mikey may never have been the sharpest knife in the droor but the 80's-90's, 2003 and comic versions of him were nowhere near that dumb. With that said Michaelangelo is still not the posterchild for a stereotypical metally challenged person, that dishonor goes to Uncle Grandpa. Now that is something to get pissed about, Derpy being taken off for supposedly being a stereotype and arguably one of the worst stereotypes on TV gets a free pass. http://youtu.be/zaMc19WUXkI Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhortac 1,474 March 7, 2014 Share March 7, 2014 Maybe its because TMNT has gone so far into the crapper, no one cares about it? That's my theory...that, or more anal retentive soccer moms pay more attention to stuff like MLP, then a bunch of mutated talking turtles. Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey is not protrayed as uber dumb. He's protrayed as the youngest brother of the group who just has his head in the clouds.

ErBoi 501 March 7, 2014 Share March 7, 2014 I've been following (and absolutely loving) the new TMNT series and, yeah, this did occur to me when I saw this episode. But, different companies involved, different demographics, and different networks, so meh. My initial reaction was just wondering how long it'll take before April Derp gets edited. that dishonor goes to Uncle Grandpa. Now that is something to get pissed about, Derpy being taken off for supposedly being a stereotype and arguably one of the worst stereotypes on TV gets a free pass. http://youtu.be/zaMc19WUXkI I gave this show a shot not long ago. I don't even know. I want to hate it just for how dumb it is...but that seems redundant since the stupidity is kind of the point. It's almost dada-esque in that way. It's the kind of thing that's like...I mean, objectively it's certainly creative...but...nnguwaah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkiefan1287 610 March 7, 2014 Share March 7, 2014 I had a felling that this would come up sooner or later here. As for me, I don't really see them changing this part or see the differences. We all know the Soccer mom thing is a myth and was suggested by iTunes and for me the 2 characters are completely different. Don't know why, that's just what I see.

Now that is something to get pissed about, Derpy being taken off for supposedly being a stereotype and arguably one of the worst stereotypes on TV gets a free pass. Seriously? It's just a cartoon. I'm sure they never say he has a mental disability in the show, his just a regular dim-witted character. If cartoons get to the point where a character can't be stupid for the sake of comedy, it would be awful. Especially since in the episodes I've seen Uncle Grandpa isn't really an idiot, just a little goofy and weird, like a lesser version of Pinkie. Maybe people should stop being so oversensitive about what's offensive in a cartoon in general and only get pissed if it's legitimately trying to make an offensive point about a group of people and not when it just has something that you yourself have determined is a certain stereotype. -_- Except it wasn't Hasbro. It was Itunes. They found it offensive. Here's the proof. Skip to 1:42. Ooh, nice find! I never saw that before. I may be in the minority that Derpygate was never a huge thing but personally I feel like this is actually evidence for it because it wasn't even what caused the edit. People make a bigger deal of it now then it was at the time but for the most part things were cool.
