Derpy was an adult fanon name for her, though. No child (the demographic the show was aiming for) would know that 4chan lingo.

I suppose it all comes down to who matters most, and frankly I don't think it's the adult (mostly male) fanbase. When I was a kid back in the 90's I had some awful 'girl' shows, but they were still fun to watch. And it was nice to have an all female cast for a change. You may not like what Hasbro is doing, but that's just how it is going to be, like it or not.

Faust called her Derpy on the charity sketch. But that argument has happened a million times and is secondary, though I am sad she can't be background anymore. It's my opinion she never should have grown beyond brief cameo/background status. But enough of that.

The main cast is still all female? I'm not sure what you are saying there, I don't think that was ever going to stop being a thing.

And there is no who. Only a what. Money. Hasbro wants money. If the show is crap and still makes them money, they won't care. If season 4 is acclaimed as the best season yet and makes no dosh, it's fucking dropped.

Hasbro is not getting involved to chase away the bronies or because somebody with creative vision there is trying to help. They are trying to sell more toys, period.

I don't expect to change anything. I mean I suppose internet clamor has influenced the show before, but it's more then likely that that age is over, for better or worse. I'd like to say for better. I hope season 4 is great. But I fear we will see new, poorly thought out directions based more on "have more merch" then "have more plot" and that we will subsequently not see a season 5.

You may think the show is 'ruined', you may stop watching the show entirely, hell, you may even call the show 'shit' now, but you know what? It's a show with a large female cast for little girls. It may not be up to your standards but it's still something little girls don't have a lot of.

I'm sort of sickened that all these adults (Again, mostly male) are calling for it to be canceled. As if they show was ever meant for them. It wasn't. Even if part of the show is being pushed towards merchandise, the show's demographic is for little girls. That isn't about to change.

When did I call for a thing to be canceled?

I didn't. And a loss in quality of a good show is always lamentable. Kids can tell when things stop being as good too. If it will or wont I have no idea. But I've less faith in Hasbro then I'd like. Especially since one of their decisions is a major change in the main character and the shows dynamic. Not to mention that twilight princess alicorn doll saying shit like "I love having my hair brushed." that sounds like going backwards for a character who up till now has been presented as primarily bookish.

Demographics aren't quality. Quality is quality. The show may not have been designed for me but I liked it anyway. If I stop liking it because it changes, I can and will lament that change. Online at times.
