(Anonymous) 2013-02-25 04:31 am (UTC)(link)Some of us like her not because we think she's hilarious or pathetic , but we actually like a character that has something unique about them. While I love the mane 6 their personalities are all based on common "types" of female characters. The smart girl, the brash tomboy, the hyper Genki girl, the shy girl, the drama queen /fashionista, and the country girl. But Derpy is something entirely unique. She's can be any mix of two main pony's personality types, or she she can be something the author thinks up. A dedicated but forgetful/clumsy girl or a quirky girl with her head in the clouds.
That's why the fandom likes her. Some people can identify with her lazy eyes and the feeling of dealing with being different and they can write her with those experiences in mind. Then , some people with experiences and personality unlike that of the main characters can. They can have a character they identify with.
I don't see how that's wrong at all. I do agree that they should have kept her in the sidelines and I don't agree with how her removal was dealt with but still, you seem to be very angry that people like this character.

(Anonymous) 2013-02-25 08:35 am (UTC)(link)I've been really general in my addressing of the fandom here, and I'm sorry. If you like her but you think she should have been kept in the background, then you're not who I'm talking about. Do whatever you like, you're great! I only brought it up because I felt like it would come up as an excuse and I'm saying that's, in my experience, a by-product of her blowing up in popularity and not WHY she became popular. It's certainly not what ended up in the show.
I'm really just... mystified about the people who were happy with the original version of her speaking role, and then completely lost it when there was backlash over it and it had to be changed. I really don't understand it, because in the end this is not about a positive representation getting erased, it's about a background character that blew up into something that really shouldn't have happened in the first place. It just really confuses me that these people found this depiction of her important enough to cause so much grief, especially because she really just was an animation error to begin with.
