    it was harsh, but he raised a fair point. having something trivial offend you shouldnt be grounds for censoring it, especially if it means others will be affected negatively in the process.


    and he wasnt being serious, he was just illustrating what this brand of censorship would look like applied to a person, as opposed to a character

    There is no need to outright attack someone like that for stating their opinion. Kaiba never said he wanted Derpy censored so drawing conlcusions will not help your argument.

    Anywhere but here.
    Didn't notice, and when I did notice. I didn't really care at all.

    I mean really it's just one background character geez. We all came here because of the show, not because of some error in the first Episode of Season 1.

    Anyways, didn't really care about the change. I have the episode on my PC so I'm fine with the original stuff.

    Your right that I am overreacting. I know I'm overreacting. I am upset though. In my defense I did say that he was in entitled to his view but that I did not accept that opinion. I'll probably feel bad about my post after my anger dies down about it, but right now I'm still to angry to. I will say that if I were to run across someone that was in fact partially responsible for this change that my words for them would be much much worse, and I might not stop at words. I'd probably spit in that persons face.

    It bothers me that you are having such anger over a background character. To the point of physical confrontation? Let's be realistic here.

    Quote from flutterbee:

    "Allowing them to be a part of society is the correct thing.
    Those that were offended by the real Derpy are sick individuals and need to learn to love and tolerate. No I don't feel I have to tolerate those people. Kaiba, your thoughts are sick and twisted and I'm frankly very insulted by you and those that think like you. By your own views since you offend me, you shouldn't be allowed to talk. Of course this isn't true, you have the right to your twisted views and I have the right to mine. I have the right to tell you that I think you are wrong. Now I don't mean to attack you directly. Perhaps you didn't protest to Hasbro about this. There are some here that did though and those people make me sick. I'm being harsh because I'm trying to make you see my point. Forcing your personal views on others because your offended and don't like what other people say is not ok and you end up far worse than any of them because of it."

    my response:
    you're being mean to a 13 year old with issues and it's my opinion so deal with it

    I understand this is quite the sensitive topic but tone it down a little, yah? I don't want to see any trouble brewing. Keep it civil :p

    Personally I think it's dissapointing but not wholly unexpected (or Hasbro's fault). I'm rather annoyed that they did this AFTER declaring she WON'T change in an article however.

    Ah Grey, your timing is impeccable. A few more minutes and you might have had a mess on your hands!:derpe:

    Kidding aside, although I was unaware of this article, perhaps this is why it took so long for the episode to re-appear on iTunes. At first glance Hasbro had seen this as fine and were nearly decided on returning the episode to iTunes unedited. But then! The fear of lawsuits abound! Scared, they made a final change and decided to redo the entire scene. But at what cost? The joy of bronies everywhere shattered into thousands of pieces! ...Ok I really need some sleep. G'night everyone!

    all i have to say is have we learned nothing from suited for success? we got a gift and we complained about it.

    so don't expect another gift like that again

    What I don't understand is that snails is fine. Everything he does. He is slow, not that smart. He even has a snail as a cutie mark. People should be mad at him.

    Derpy is just clumsy and has messed up eyes. I never planned on picking sides. But I chose pro derpy. She should have stayed fanon but that didn't happen. I believe she should just be left alone. This whole thing is so stupid. People aren't even mad at the right pony.

    If snails was put in like this would the reaction been the same? Derpy and snails are almost the same. Only difference being that snails is the truly for lack of a better word "challenged" one.

    Like valor said. No more gifts will be giving to us again.

    This is all I have to say about the derpy matter. After this I shall say no more, just like last time.

    This video really says how I feel quite well. He says it much stronger than I can, but this guy is absolutly right. A lot of people will be offended by this video, but you should not be. Language is very strong in this so if your offended by strong language. Well I think you should swallow your offensiveness and just watch it anyway. Since the language isn't allowed here I'm just going to post the link to the video and not the video itself.

    The idea--the reason--for this change is what I'm most upset about. The only cause can be ignorance of Derpy's origins and meaning. Her original scene (regardless of voice, the new one IS more appropriate) meant something. It stood in good spirits and as a greater link between the fans and the creators.

    I am disappointed that people would find her offensive when we've got cartoon characters as old as Goofy. Heck, almost every cartoon features some clumsy/goofy character. Often times, they're far more inept than Derpy's tiny display of accidental destruction. It's too hypocritical to embrace such characters, but then reject Derpy who is the same thing. As far as I know, she was disliked mostly for her entire characterization; without any focus upon her eyes.

    Again, if people were educated about her, I don't think this would have ever happened. :(

    Oh dear... well I must say I certainly wasn't expecting them to re-make it.

    If you want to save the derped one, you can still help here: http://www.savederpy.com/


    Edit: Oh, then I realise there's already a thread for this down in character discussion... whoops! Keep this if you like, but delete if necessary~

    WHY does everyone care so much, she is a cartoon horse. Is it really that big of a deal? What the **** is the problem.

    Derpy hater
    *sarcasm*oh, it offends my little eyes*sarcasm*

    Derpy Lover
    *sarcasm* OMG this is the greatest thing ever in my life of ever in the world of the universe*sarcasm*


    One side won't hear the side of the other, then the few like me just don't care. We see the show for what it is and what we loved from the started. I became a brony with the intention of loving and tolerating others. One little thing happens and you have petitions to save derpy, petitions to get rid of her and blah blah blah. When did the fandom get to such a low point that we have to throw this gift in the face of HASBRO. They go out of their way to do this and we act like children. I like the fact that they acknowledge us, not many fandoms get that.

    well that's my view again. Go to the other thread to see the rant about snails.

    This isn't aimed at specific people, it's aimed at everyone. The whole fandom.

    I posted this for news.
    I said "if" and "can" to be neutral and "oh dear" because, to be frank, I could just sense the typical "brace yourselves everyone" as thousands of displeased bronies team up to solve this "problem".

    In my eyes, the whole thing is 50% a joke, and 50% valid points.
    I'm neutral and this was only a thread for those who would like to help.
    That's your opinion, Pixel, but it might not be the case with others.

    If I'm honest, I did actually find the original make funnier and the script does sound a little weird now without her name for some reason.
