I tend to be a fairly adamant SJW and I honestly never have felt the term 'Derp' or the derivatives there of were ableist. I followed the idea that the word was coined by South Park, and was intended as a stand in for 'silly' or 'clumsy'. I sometimes use it myself in place of being forgetful or neglecting to realize the obvious in something. On a similar note, my issue with the entirety of the MLP fandom going to war over this episode is this : If the term was so offensive, and going to cause so much hate and animosity, rather than waiting until the writers called the wall eyed character 'Derpy Hooves' as a nod to us, why didn't we say something when the term first started as a fan name? Any SJW worth their salt wouldn't wait that long, I would hope.

People did say something. And they were pretty much shouted down and told they were oversensitive. Kind of the same way that anyone who felt that the term "brony" implicitly excluded women to any degree was shouted down, or anyone who brought up concerns over the racism in Over A Barrel got shouted down. I love MLP:FiM fandom something fierce, but it can get really ugly really fast when issues of privilege come up.

Ah, I must have missed that, admittedly, since while I enjoy the show and follow some of the fan art blogs, it hasn't ever been something I focused on that intently. I'm honestly not sure where I stand in the argument.

^This pretty much explains why I'm often frustrated with the "Brony" community, despite how much I adore the show and the creators behind it
