That in no way addresses what I was saying. I'm aware of the Ditzy Doo name and that Lauren later said that she could be that pony. She took off before Lauren said that though, so I don't really see that as an answer to why people were so attached to this.

My question still stands. Why was a joke about an animation error that important to this fandom?

Why is anything important to any fandom? All fandom revolves around things that are not real. It doesn't matter whether something is an "error" or not; all that matters is that it's always completely and utterly imaginary.

Why is it okay to become attached to something make-believe that someone invented on purpose but it's not okay to become attached to something make-believe that someone invented on accident? Either way, the person is still emotionally invested in a non-entity.

I'm not in that fandom, so I can't say for sure, buttttttt...I think there's a certain charm to one-shot characters, or 'blank slate' characters. People don't get attached to the characters solely on their canonical run, but on the fanon that is created around them. Plus, I think her design is nice. Yellow and Gray pop for me, color wise

Dark Heart is one of those one-shot characters that people tend to like. It was an example!

I don't know that I'd call him a 'one-shot'- for all that he never appeared in the TV series, he was virtually the star of the film. There's a pretty big difference between that and a background character.

He was the villain of the movie and was never mentioned again (If you don't count Noheart basically being a carbon copy of DH...) He may be a (sort of) fan favorite, but he's nowhere near the 'star' of the movie.

I think its because she (Derpy/Ditzy) isnt supposed to exist. Just like how Bronies 'shouldnt' exist either. It's the irony.
