Her real name was Derpy, not Ditzy.

[(Anonymous)]

no, her official name is really Ditzy Doo

Derpy was just what 4chan called her

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Her official name was Derpy, it was canon until people complained. In the edited version of the ep they cut out the line... if her name was really changed to Ditzy then Rainbow would have called her that.

[(Anonymous)]

her name was Ditzy Doo in the merchandise before that episode

[(Anonymous)]

Tv Show is canon, the merchandise is not. In fact, merchandise for this show is fucking bullishit, there are tons of dolls that contradict the show.

[otakugal15]

*yawn*

Butt hurt Brony alert!!

The Merch is canon. Get used to it. They've been adding in the toys to show, slowly, but surely.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Merch is alt canon. Toy canon and cartoon canon are separate.

Or Celestia was pink at some point.

[(Anonymous)]

Well....uh...okay I got this. Luna once switched Celestia's shampoo and conditioner with pink hair dye, and that was the real reason she got banished to the moon!

[(Anonymous)]

You seem to be confused about what MLP IS.

They're toys. The show was made partly to sell those toys. It isn't some ambitious creative and philosophical endeavor that got saddled with merchandise. The merchandise was its genesis, thus the show bends to fit the product.

[(Anonymous)]

the merchandise is canon

take Chrysalis, for example: she was never named in the show, but she is named in the toys and in the comic

or does she not count because blah blah fan entitlement etc

[insanenoodlyguy]

Just because merchandise and cartoon correspond doesn't mean they always will... also there is no Derpy toy so it's kinda moot.*

*There was a comicon special release but that toy was deliberately unnamed. Or her name is "2012 Special Edition Pony"

[insanenoodlyguy]

Show me one single official piece of merchandise with either name on it.

[(Anonymous)]

The Derpy figurine sold at Hot Topic kind of counts, imo. Doesn't have her name on the packaging, but on the receipts it plainly says Derpy.

The name something has when being rung up on a register (and therefore the name shown on the receipt) is not necessarily the official name of the product. It's put into the register system by someone at the store company. The figure's not officially called Derpy, someone at Hot Topic called it that and put it into the system as that. And considering it's Hot Topic, of course they would do that since like all of their MLP sales are to bronies.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

shit, looks like I was wrong; it was only one of the names the production crew used for her, not in the merch

my bad

[otakugal15]

Nope, the pony Dash mentioned in Winter Wrap Up was Ditzy Doo, which is where Ditzy Doo got her name. Th grey pegasus is Ditzy Doo.

SOOOOOO SORRY~ your little offensive nick name git axed, but thems the breaks.

[(Anonymous)]

It wasn't really offensive, except to the perpetually offended.

[otakugal15]

Oh yes it was.

They called her "derpy" because she had the unusual eyes and then inferred her to be slow, clumsy, and, in some words from bronies, "retarded."

Classy people, them. Ugh.

Thus, it was offensive.

[diet_poison]

lol @ you using "classy" in this context

Isn't that supposed to be classist?

[thinkatory]

Oh god, are we really taking "classy" off the market? I need that, it's one of those beautiful instant sarcasm words.

[otakugal15]

No.

This.

Wall of text coming up.

I have a very good friend with a lazy eye and people have always made fun of her for that. It made her hate herself and it was heart-breaking to see people everywhere reacting to her eye in one way or the other. Sometimes she would wear an eye-patch to make people think she has had an injury she had to cover up, just to avoid the stares and giggles.
I'm glad that she sort of learned to cope and lives a happier life nowadays.

I was really appalled when that animation error appeared in FiM that had such a lazy eye and bam! fandom latched onto it, called it a "derp-faced pony" and made up this fanon that she is clumsy, super slow and dumb to the point she fucks up everything she touches.

Wow, what a positive "representation" of people like my friend.
And when people complained about it, Bronies suddenly claimed that Derpy was never supposed to be offensive to anyone - except she was a horrible stereotype. Dumb and clumsy just because she had a different facial expression.
"Derp-eyes" even get used in-show to express insanity. Twilight got them, Pinkie got them and that mentally ill pony also got them to showcase that they were "losing it".

Yes, there is Snails and he is slow. He also stands out because he is tall. But we have seen in-show that fillies come in many different sizes and shapes. Whereas in-show "derp-eyes" are linked to being fucked in the head while being a tall filly is not linked to anything (Fluttershy was a tall filly as well).

So, all in all, people got rightfully pissed because a lazy eyed pony was called "Derpy" and was made out to be an idiot. Not because she was a female pony that was an idiot. The lazy eye and the word "derp" were offensive, the stupid behaviour was already exhibited in-show by other female chars (Pinkie Pie, anyone?)

God, I'm such a nerd about this sparkle pony show *laughs at self*

Re: This.

[(Anonymous)]

People are assholes to call your friend a "derp" like that. She's clearly a a sperg.

[(Anonymous)]

it's offensive if you step back and see the history of how people with mental handicaps have been treated and stereotyped

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone who uses that logic is a moron or retard.
