It's only on iTunes that the censorship has taken place. Everywhere else still has the original version. |
| PonyRIG #1061284 4 months ago |
we still don't know if the reruns are the same... |
| DoctorDreidal #1061295 4 months ago |
^Fair point, but one can always download the episode off of Youtube if it comes to that. Besides, there's still the DVD. |

@DoctorDreidal
Don't even bother trying to tell them it's on YouTube. Apparently all these fanatics are trapped in small rooms with only their iPods to sustain them, so they've never been to YouTube before. :< |
| Flutterguy #1061319 4 months ago |
Pleaes, please do not tell me that Derpy is a swear wrd now |
| ProfesorRod #1061329 4 months ago |
It's not the matter of whether I can watch the original version or not. It's the fact that Hasbro backpedaled one of the most awesome moments in animation history what makes me sad and angry :< |
| OHMURR #1061337 4 months ago |
lol don't forget the 1080 itunes unedited version too |
| OHMURR #1061338 4 months ago |

@MagicMarker
I know that common sense isn't so common nowadays, but I think I should try to help this whole thing settle faster by providing whatever help I can. And hey, if worse comes to worse, I won't make things any more hectic, right? |
| MagicMarker #1061344 4 months ago |
Hasbro didn't backpedal. They made an executive decision because some parents were upset and their actual target audience was more important to them than a bunch of butthurt whiners on the internet. :3 |
| PonyRIG #1061352 4 months ago |
@magicmarker: and the irony is that now some parents are upset for the edit. |
| Anonymous #1061356 4 months ago |
Especially parents who are old enough to remember George Orwell being taught in schools. |

@ProfesorRod
Hasbro may cater to us here and there, but they're a corporation first and foremost. They'll always consider the bottom line more important than anything else. As long as the show's team stays on our side, that's enough. |

one of the most awesome moments in animation history Hahaha |
| MagicMarker #1061384 4 months ago |
You all realise that freaking out and starting more petitions than the Mother 3 fanbase makes us look like there's something wrong with us right? Instead of looking desperate and butthurt we should try to stay on Hasbro's good side. We be nice to them and they'll be nice back. HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE A LESSON FROM THE SHOW. 83c |
| ProfesorRod #1061386 4 months ago |
How this isn't backpedaling? The animators and writers gave power to the people and after the episode aired and the comments were said, the executives edited out the mention.
Even the voice acting error was so derp. It fit so well! |
| PonyRIG #1061393 4 months ago |
a father commented that his kids are sad about the edit and when he tried to explain why they made that his kids said "why they hate Derpy?"
inb4 parents end in our side. |
| Anonymous #1061400 4 months ago |
Yeah, it's nice to see Hasbro catering to little girls... And what a great thing to teach kids: If you're disabled, your existence is inherently offensive and you should be neighther seen nor heard until you are fixed and 'pure'. |

Tell me you didn't smile a little when Rainbow called her Derpy. C'mon, lie to me please :) |
| Anonymous #1061412 4 months ago |
^when she actually called her derpy my eyes rolled back so far my retinas nearly detached.
I think it could have been good, if it had been a five-second thing 'oh Derpy you so silly', but it went on too long and came across as pandering to the bronies. |
| MagicMarker #1061415 4 months ago |
Careful anon, you're insulting the greatest thing to happen in animation since Steamboat Willy! |
| ProfesorRod #1061418 4 months ago |
Ah, but don't think I'm overreacting. I'll live nicely on mars and will spend Derpy day there. [/lulz]
Now, meanwhile, I have to go and have some noms |3 |
| Glord #1061427 4 months ago |
Once I started watching this show, I became a lot less cynical.
Now I'm more cynical than ever and hate humans with a greater passion than never. Hit the nuke button, let Armageddon be unleashed upon all the fucks. Let the music flow into my ears. |
| ProfesorRod #1061433 4 months ago |
@MagicMarker I think my sarcasm meter moved a little *sneers* |
| DoctorDreidal #1061435 4 months ago |
^Our generation is totally fucked, no doubt about it. But maybe there's hope for the kids, just maybe. |
| PonyRIG #1061436 4 months ago |
@glord: drink some vodka, is good to reduce cynicism. |
| DoctorDreidal #1061439 4 months ago |
Meant that last comment for Glord. |
| Glord #1061441 4 months ago |
Also,
Pain! Darkness! Come unto me! |
| Glord #1061443 4 months ago |
I'm not old enough to drink yet.
God I wish I was though, be sailing with Captain Sparrow. |
| PonyRIG #1061452 4 months ago |
that's it *forces Glord to drink a vodka‛s bottle* there you are, yor cynicism is in zero, go and be happy, until the effect passes away. |
| PonyRIG #1061456 4 months ago |
btw, vodka kills cynicism, ponies to who knows the reference. |
| Glord #1061467 4 months ago |
And I'm still upset over them discontinuing development of Terraria, I was looking forward to aliens.
And my mother having her other leg cut off the first week this month. And My PS3 dieing before I could play Soul Calibur V. And..... |
| RealityCheck #1061507 4 months ago |
It's a syndrome. there are hundreds of classic animations that have been "PCed" into ruination. |
| PonyRIG #1061516 4 months ago |
"PCed"? what is that? |
| DoctorDreidal #1061589 4 months ago |
^RealityCheck means characters that have been made to be more "politically correct." |
| ProfesorRod #1061734 4 months ago |
Latest portrayals of Disney's Goofy for example. Oh, how similar~ |
| Anonymous #1061744 4 months ago |
I HONESTLY DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THIS SHIT ANYMORE. GOING TO GO LOOK AT MORE PICTURES OF PONIES NOW. |
| Nightweaver20xx #1062069 4 months ago |
The end is near. I can feel it. |
| DhanaRagnarok #1063218 4 months ago |
Ten bucks next rerun will have the non-censored version with Derpy's new voice.
No, wait. My soul. I don't need that anymore if I'm wrong. |
| jpony #1068336 4 months ago |
You'll all get bored and stop caring about this in a few weeks and go back to mindlessly taking what you get. I know how fickle people are. |
| Anonymous #1068532 4 months ago |
Rod: as i posted on another of these, Ya'll underestimate the power of the distributor when it comes to the end product. Just remember what happened to Vlassic when they made a deal with the retail devil, Wal-Mart.
You know, this cartoon IS animated in FLASH. That's totally computer nerd territory. And what the hell is Apple made up of? Yes, you got it. And as the now-biggest-company-in-the-world why WOULDN'T they be able to change something pre-emptively if they thought it could offend someone? $30-60 dvd vs a $500 ipod sale. Do teh math. |
