Comment on Goodbye Derpy Hooves Page 3 by Saphin
I can understand if they're removing Derpy due to copyright issues (the name was originally from some guy on 4chan, so they would probably rename her to "Ditsy Doo", which they do own). Hasbro didn't become a hugely profitable company by taking stupid, unnecessary risks, and based on discussions I've had with more experienced people, Copyright issues can get really messy, really quickly.
But if people are complaining about her being an offensive stereotype of mentally disabled people, well, where the hell were they when Snips and Snails nearly destroyed the town?

Yeah, copyright can be a bitch. Hopefully everything will blow over/work out for the better. After I finished this I went around to see what the word was online and like you said, it might be (most likely) a copyright issue thing.
Either way I hope they don't change Derpy. She's the reason some of my friends BECAME Bronies.
