Edit: I hope they make a Derpy Hooves figure, but with normal eyes and they name her Bubbles.”

David had this to say in response to the backlash received shortly after uploading the image to his blog.
“What? No! Nobody is an asshole for preferring the original voice.
People who start online petitions, write hate mail, and generally harass the creators, producers, distributors, and even fans of a childrens show over a 50-second clip of a 22-minute episode being changed slightly are assholes. If you did not do any of that, you are not an asshole and I am not talking about you.
I dont care why the change was made or whether or not it was fair. This is not how adults conduct themselves.
I know its very controversial for me to say this, but people who send other people hate mail are assholes.”
No. He is not right. Derpy was not over any line. People like you just like being outraged over nothing and ruining everyone else’s fun. Just another anonymous troll.
“Derpy Hooves” is already borderline disrespectful. Her voice and actions were over the line.
It’s not about “a 50 second clip”, it’s the idea behind it.
Using this same logic, the Civil Rights movements was people getting butthurt about “some lady being forced to move to a different seat”. See how much that oversimplifies the conflict?
I don’t know. Neil’s response didn’t sound smug or self-righteous. This guy, given his other pony art, is more of a “I’m fucking with you, but look at yourself, really” sort of thing.
Maybe they have a a point?
I love the flawed logic just ’cause a few fans are immature then “all of them are bad.”
Also, ironically they did make a Derpy figure, but the “Derp” eyes are in tact. Nice try.
Hey look a death threat! Now you can act in any way you like without consequences!
