Derpy's voice is exceptionally derpy.

I love it.


She sounded a bit like Billy from the Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy.

Next time we hear derpy's voice it will probably be changed
I wonder how that will work out

Oh god his voice was annoying.

I hear what you mean, but it's not as low or whatever

"Anonymous reliable source"

BS

Alright, here's the story.

After Derpy was revealed in "The Last Roundup", Hasbro/The Hub/FiM started recieving both negative and positive feedback about her. The negative ones are typically about them being offended that (basically) everything about Derpy mocks disabled/handicapped/(other generic word) individuals. (the argument against this is that she is simply ditzy, not handicapped)

There is a petition going on (well under 100 signatures) that is titled "Change Derpy Hoove's eyes, name, and behavior, release an official apology.", there might be others too but I haven't found them, eitherway, I think Hasbro may have caught wind of it and is trying to take down Derpy Hooves merchandise from the We Love Fine shop. There is nothing official out yet, but it's possible they might remove Derpy entirely, so the fans are starting to make their move against it.

There is a counter petition going on that is beating the other by a milestone, there is also a #SaveDerpy thing on Twitter going on as well. Equestria Daily made an uninformative post, but has a link to the petition and a We Love Fine link.

seems like drama mostly, but I can't say I'd want to loose Derpy either.

I bet most of the negative feedback comes from parents. Most people these days are so concerned about political correctness that it's hard to portray a physically handicapped character without lots of critical feedback.

I should make a rainbow dash mask out of cardboard and and printer paper.
Yeah.
It shouldn't be hard.
and I don't have anything to make it with.
I NEED SOME ARTS AND CRAFTS STUFF.
DAMNIT

Quote from: reddit
I made a rather... strongly worded post about this in the Plounge, let me try and summarize it.

* People get offended, that's cool.
* What isn't cool is that it negatively affects the rest of us, I was gonna buy a Derpy shirt when I got some more cash, now I can't.
* The writers will never give us another shout-out again.

[](/b29) rage

The writers not giving us a shout out won't make the show suck.

Well he/I never said that, but it definitely sucks major ursa balls

i'm not worried about the third, thats paranoid fan talk.
also, apparently Sibsy said something too in her deviantArt journal but it appears to be gone now

stuff guys Squideey will blow up the world if Derpy is removed.
