Or it's just a joke. |

fun fact: the word "derp" originates from a 1999 episode of south park and is generally used to refer to brainfarts - individual incidents of dumb behavior. |

Suffix -ism = Bad |

It is ableist, that I cannot disagree upon. However I take ableism with a pinch of salt - it's hard not to be ableist.
A lot of phrases and words are ableist. |
| marioandsonic #862508 6 months ago |
I'm pretty sure plenty of fanfics depict this. |
| Robomorons #862510 6 months ago |
OP is a massive tard.
Tard meaning retard. You are a retard. A retard is you. Retard. How's that for ableism? |
| Posey #862522 6 months ago |
That's ableist too Robo. |
| Robomorons #862529 6 months ago |
Yup, it is.
Compare that to a pony with googly eyes and you just end up looking stupid. |

She could just be a fun background character that kids and adults enjoy on a pony show.
...Nah, that's stupid. |

I've seen lazier trolls. Not many, though. |
| NightJack #862629 6 months ago |
I say it all the time, how is Derpy that bad if the other name use it Ditzy and I don't think that's any better, so shut up and take both names or come up with a better one, anything other then complaining about it. |
| Fanloser #862662 6 months ago |
*shrugs* Can't really argue with that. |
| AcuteAngle #862666 6 months ago |
I first mis-read that as 'atheist'. |
| Anonymous #862785 6 months ago |
...wait, Derpy Hooves is prejudiced against the handicapped? Are there even any handicapped ponies for her to be prejudiced against? |
| Anonymous #862802 6 months ago |
@785 Yes, she laughs at Pegsi that have lost their wings, Unicorn that have broken horns and Earth ponies that can't use their hind legs. |
| zer0-0ne #863166 6 months ago |
NightJack, how about Bubblefly? She flies and she has bubbles on her flank. It's a name that doesn't put down deformed or retarded people. |
| NotThatAnyoneCares #863621 6 months ago |
@AcuteAngle: Same here. What would that entail in Equestria? Not believing in the Princesses?
That's a whole new level of derp, even for her. |

At first, I thought it said Atheist. |

Man little did we know this was a precursor to the main storm. |

By your logic my younger sister who has Down's Syndrome is 'ableist'.
That really should be spelled ablist, by the way. Do you say raceist? No, you say racist. |

zer0-0ne: No because that's an absolutely stupid name even by MLP standards. |
| Anonymous #957284 5 months ago |
it's worth noting that people didn't start construing "derp" as having to do with mental handicaps to any significant extent until very recently.
it's from a south park episode where it was used to refer to when someone does something silly momentarily. |
