I would have hoped that someone who worked on the show could have provided some more information. |

Woops, didn't see that. |

My issue isn't why they did it, it's how they did it. They had a complete, finished product (the episode) that had already been consumed by the masses (through tv/Internet) that they essentially recalled due to relatively minor faults that in no way affected the overall storyline. If they did indeed get pressure from iTunes to change the episode you do not as a manufacturer say 'yes please alter my product to better serve your own individual needs even though we've already had plenty of success with it' you say 'f**k you very much' you take your product and you find another distributor (hint: There's more than just iTunes out there Hasbro). It also sends a very bad precedent for anything else in the show someone might find offensive. What about Hayseed from Sweet and Elite? His voice always makes me cringe when watching that episode. What about Snails? You've essentially given the consumer the very strong argument of "You changed this because we didn't like it, so change this this and this too because we also don't like it". It is simply something you do not do in any industry. |

I will give you an example: Lucas could very well have erased Jar Jar from existence in anything post-Phantom because of all the hate it received. He did not. Why? Because the character was more or less irrelevant to the overall story and there was no need to alter a product that already made millions regardless of a single character. Hasbro did the opposite. It sends a very very bad message. |

I just want to see any evidence at all that iTunes is responsible for this. |

I advise everyone NOT to read this.
I've never felt more insulted in my life after reading that. |

Fuck the lot of you.
You know why? because people bitched "DURR HURR SHE SOUNDS RETARDED." And you bitched, and you bitched, and you bitched. This is the end result of your bitching. Goddamit, do you remember the lesson of "Suited for Success?" DON'T LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH. And you fuckers did. So, you deserve it. Insulted, are you? So, you feel you're entitled to have a shout-out character? At a show to which you are NOT the primary demographic? Let me ask you, how much of your money did you spend on MLP products that went to Hasbro? |

^ Way to miss the the point, anonymous. It was a tiny, *tiny* minority that complained; everyone else as delighted with her. People were pissed that the overblown claims of a vocal few we enough to take that wonderful gift away. |

Except you vote with your wallet. Was there a spike of sales after Derpy was made? Did you write a letter to Hasbro, thanking them?
No, you didn't. And the people that complained, did. |

At this point, Anon357 is just spamming the same copypasta. It is doing this in every Derpy drama post that I've looked at. |

You miss all the points available to this situation and redirect it to your own? /sigh |
| Anonymous #1057716 4 months ago |
Werkbau, actually, it was aimed at you. Why are you insulted? Hmm? |

Just heard the new voice. It's horrible. I can't believe I woke up to this news.
Fucking ruined my weekend. What's worse? She's gonna have that "new voice" whenever she speaks in the future. ARGH! She was fine the way she was! Where the hell do I find someway to get them to change it back? |

I don't get it. The voice is a lot closer to BDR's voice. I'd think people would be happier. |

Seriously, READ what Kreoss has to say, which is 'if you don't like what they did about Derpy, don't be a dick about it'.
I for one am tired of people transparently tugging at our heartstrings and clogging up Ponibooru with all sorts of "Derpy Hooves is going away forever and it's all your fault" pictures! |

The voice is horribly mediocre. |

Kreoss is a fag, Hasbro made the edits: >>140432
Get ready for a derp ban. |
