The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

She would never have been named “Derpy” if the fans hadn’t been so stupidly loud about it. I blame those people, and will never accept it.

Okay then your going with that, then YOU start the arguing by commenting on this post.  
Sorry but if you think just saying something, anything, starts an argument then you first comment was the start.  
But no you have to be realistic ,in response to that my comment you talked of canon, I never said anything about canon at that point, if anything you started it by putting word in my mouth.

I never said that it wasn’t part of when she was working on the show.
 
Eurgh…  
Put it this way:  
1)Faust works on show  
2)Faust has ideas for show  
3)Some ideas get put in show, they are canon  
4)Some don’t, they are not canon  
5)Faust leaves, all ideas that are not in the show are not canon.
 
So yeah, she might not have had any plans/ideas for what ‘Dizty doo’ would look like, but that isn’t my point.
 
My point is it doesn’t really affect canon at all, so people can keep calling her Ditzy/Derpy/whatever.
 
And you kinda did start the arguing, by replying to comment when you really didn’t need to.

>YOU were the one who started arguing-  
No, I was pointing out the fact this was about something from when she WAS part of the show, nothing more, your the one that started arguing, I didn’t start this with anything about canon, just that it’s about something said when she was part of the show.

“ the scenes is in fact the reverse, so if she say behind the scenes the pony had no name your saying that no the pony does have a name…. “
 
^No, I’m saying it doesn’t matter what Faust says.

@Prof.NightJack  
And my point, was that Faust’s word isn’t canon, so it isn’t any different to fan ideas.
 
That was the first thing I said:  
“>Faust isn’t part of show  
>Not canon  
>No different to normal fan ideas.  
Moving on. “  
YOU were the one who started arguing about Ditzy/Derpy being named or not.
 
My only point was that this isn’t any better than other fan ideas, so people don’t have to change any ideas due to this.
 
That’s all.

(facepalm)  
This was not about the canon, this was all about Derpy’s name behind the behind the scenes, back when Faust was on the she was talking of a possible name for her, but it never go to this, this here is a clarification of that, your arguing with me about what isn’t canon when my whole point was about whet she said was a potability but never made canon.  
For all that you made it seem like you think as she’s not part of the show then ahything she says is not only not canon but anything she talks of things behind the scenes is in fact the reverse, so if she say behind the scenes the pony had no name your saying that no the pony does have a name….

…wat.  
My only point is, what isn’t in the show, isn’t canon.
 
I’m not saying Derpy/Ditzy/Bubbles names are canon or not.
 
I’m saying that Faust’s ideas/headcanon is as valid as anyone elses.
 
Sure, she might have planned for Ditzy/Derpy name one day, but that doesn’t make it canon. (Like planning Cadance to be a Unicorn)
 
Yeah, it is nice to see her idea but they aren’t canon.

@Wilhelm II, Kaiser  
You keep going on that what she says doesn’t matter, not that it’s not canon, your going on like that fact she’s saying Derpy wasn’t actually named is not true.  
So enlighten me how is it not canon that we have a pony that has a no name in canon and just the fact that Faust said it as well make it not canon?

That’s what you not getting, the name of Drepy/Ditzy was never in the show at the time, when Lauren was with the show she said she didn’t name it, by both that mean tyhat in canon the pony has no name.  
You saying that’s not canon when there is nothing in the show to give her a canon name, both in the show and by the staff?  
If so the you miss the point!

And thankfully it wasn’t the one that was an actual insult! Eat dat tumblrbitches! :D
 
 
@Prof.NightJack  
Yep. I really love the analogy I came up with earlier this week relating it to creationism. Sometimes ya just have to accept there are things where opposition is 100% wrong, all the time. It’s also similar to Scientology vs ‘modern medicine’ and Catholics and their silly abstinence teachings (as if any of them bother to follow that in the first place. THAT reminds me of a line Larry said to Sierra in Father of the Pride where he tries to keep her from doing drugs. “WE HAD FUN SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO!”)

And?
 
If, during the her time on the show, it had appeared in show, it would be canon.
 
But since she didn’t, it is no better than fan ideas.
 
She wanted a deer to visit them, does that mean it happened in canon?  
No, it doesn’t.

Or perhaps Ditzy Doo is Derpy’s opposite number: a clumsy but secretly super-smart blonde, like a sort of Reese Witherspoon mash-up. She has a top-secret security clearance and uses her job as a cover, working as a process server throughout Equestria delivering divorce papers and other legal notices.
 
Distinguishable by her underped eyes, perhaps.
