Only complaint was the constintency of the voice but heck she's a just BG character. Other than that people need to calm down. |

I guess tye difference is that every single character in that chart (except Derpy) was stablished has an idiot form the beginning. Derpy has 1 1/2 season without any indication of her behavior so fans had different expectations about her. |

screw it its just a cartoon for little kids. What do you wanted after all? |

@takashi well there are enough people who watch family guy to keep it on tv so it's kinda true |
| DeeperMadness #901606 5 months ago |
I think it's just one very, very loud person who doesn't seem to like her voice. I was watching HaxMega's livestream and the comments section exploded with praise for her inclusion to the show, as well as all of the classic "oh Derpy" lines.
I really liked Derpy's characterisation. I hope she's used sparingly and to full effect in the future. |
| NecromanseR_RuS #901610 5 months ago |
ok
Popular cartoon for little kids and their parents. This is paradox that we all love it |

| Silver #901621 5 months ago |
@BattleGT I believe Derpy's only prior definite speaking role was a gasp during Fluttershy's modeling in Green Isn't Your Color... which seemed consistent with her new voice. "Muffins" could've been somepony else. |

I like how the crew try to show how much they appreciate our support by putting in a character everyone supposedly likes. But then, like always, a lot of you 'fans' have to show just how ungrateful you can be and make the rest of us look bad. Thanks! :D |

I may be wrong, but i think the critics about Derpy are coming mostly from a vocal minority. Most bronies liked her, but they aren't as expressive about it. |

I loved canon Derpy, her potrayal was spot-on to how I've always imagined her, BUT, I can not stand that voice they gave her, it gives the wrong impression, with all these other characters they don't have that slow, slurred, and lifeless voice that people associate with retardation, and besides Billy, Ed an Peter didn't start out as stupid as they are now, they weren't setting out to make retarded characters, but because of the way Derpy sounds, it gives people the impression that the crew was trying to make her retarded, when they just wanted to make her clumsy/accident-prone |
| Zancrow #901764 5 months ago |
Screw those flankflustered, saddlesore and butthurt morons!
We should just be thankful to the crew (Studio B, was it?), for this massive piece of fanservice. |
| Anonymous #901773 5 months ago |
Derpy basically has a female version of Snails' voice, and no one was complaining about him afaik. |
| Cerulean #901776 5 months ago |
Gender essentialism is really what's being punctured here. To be "likeable", male characters are expected to be imbeciles, while the women are supposed to be smart enough to take care of them. |

For those who appreciated the episode Sibsy on DA http://sibsy.deviantart.com/ was one of the two storyboard artists for that episode. I know she always enjoys posative feedback from the fandom. |

Same basic complaints happened with Luna. Some people loved the canon Luna > fanon Luna, and vice versa. In reality, just like with Luna, in a few weeks everyone will stop raging and accept it. |

Canon Derpy's fine.
she'll have a different voice next time she speaks tho. |
| TheAntiCat #902680 5 months ago |
I have a thought as to why her voice sounded so odd: she was electrocuting herself with a storm cloud. I bet that might adjust a few things.
And Cerulean speaks the truth. |
| fonypag #902798 5 months ago |
canon =/= fanon
Just because a brony likes fan depictions of Derpy as being exceedingly clumsy and being referred to by a name they find offensive doesn't mean they can't object to the show portraying the character in the same way. |
| Anonymous #902808 5 months ago |
Let's see... Canceled, Canceled, was canceled but was brought back just because it was a cash cow, and We'll see. |

@Anon 808 Every show goes off the air eventually. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Ed, Edd, n' Eddy both had long and successful runs as shows, nothing can last forever. And Family Guy got brought back not only because it was stupid to cancel it in the first place but because it was a well-loved show. |

Dropping a potted plant, an anvil, a hay cart and a piano in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" wasn't evidence? |
| Vree #903414 5 months ago |
"Some fans not liking it" is not fickleness, it's the fandom not being one, single, coherent entity but different kinds of people. There have been people who didn't care for the name, or the fanon personality to begin with. Calling them "ungrateful" because they don't like what you like is just big headedness.
Honestly I have never seen one instance of what OP is complaining about. Some people felt her voice could've been girlier, some didn't like her as more than a background character, some felt the stupidness was a bit too exaggerated, but even the majority of these commenters LOVED the shout out thing and/or have been accepting. I don't see what reason you have to call them out. |

She is barely functional as an individual. I watched it again a few times to be sure. But you guys are deluding yourself if you think she is anything other than mentally challenged. Right down to the slurred speech and inability to notice the repercussions of her own actions.
I don't think that making a retarded pony was very sensitive. It would have been just as efficient and a lot more "daww" inspiring if they had used more of the positive Derpy fancannon. Such as the "derpy is best mommy," "derpy is really smart despite being wall-eyed," or "derpy the mailmare" fics. We would know just as surely that the creators had been paying attention to us. And it wouldn't have created anywhere near the controversy. |

| Spiffy #905395 5 months ago |
this is what i've been fucking saying too... she's not retarded, she's just oblivious. duh. all those characters you mentioned. aside from peter, aren't really "retarded" they're just silly characters, who do silly things. That's what cartoons were like back in the 50's, that's what cartoon characters were like in the late 80's early 90's. why can't they be like that now? |
