My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

[Mr. Big]

Well this is weird. Apparently the Hub used a fanart of Discord in their commercial (presumably) without realizing it.

I'd probably feel the same way they feel. That's awesome.

Anyway, I'm still enjoying the show a lot too. This season even more than the first.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Man, I want a party cannon.

I really enjoyed the most recent episode since it was more or less the Rarity show for most of it with her friends making cameos near the end. Basically, she carried the entire thing quite well.

[Eddy]

I also thought this one was great. Rarity is amazing and her voice actress, Tabitha St. Germaine, is really quite incredible.

And, yes, PARTY CANNON. I loved Twilight's Elaine dance too.

Finally saw Sweet And Elite.

One of my favorite episodes of the season. Rarity is almost able to carry a whole episode by herself, her song was awesome, the other ponies were great with the little screen time they had (Twilight was so freaking adorable here), and Fancy Pants (and his trophy horse? That's what I'm calling her.) is a surprisingly cool character. I wouldn't mind if he showed up again.

I just wish someone would have called out Upper Crust and her hubby for being complete and utter tools.

And I honestly thought trophy horse was a pink-haired Celestia when she first showed up. o.o

So I saw some back on forth on my Twitter feed about that Derpy character being made canon and how its suddenly offensive. Saw a clip of her on Jake's Facebook and I can't see it at all. When I heard about her sounding retarded, I thought she'd sound like Opie from Family Guy, or that retarded cousin from Drawn Together. She just sounds like Jimmy Neutron to me.

[Kiddington]

Here's the actual clip in question, if anyone cares (or hasn't seen it yet for themselves).

My word; THAT'S it? After finally seeing it myself, I have to agree; I cannot believe this is what actually spawned an entire day's worth of (at times) nasty and bitter argument.

She really does sound a lot like Debi Derryberry (although it's not). Man, people take this show way too seriously.

[Avaitor]

That's it? There's nothing offensive about her voice at all. Got nothing on Patrick.

[Daxdiv]

I'm just surprised that they really called her Derpy. I mean it has the word "Derp in it. As for the voice, I just found it more funny than anything else. Then again, you're talking to the guy who's rambling on about Katawa Shoujo on Twitter.

[Foggle]

Man, people take this show way too seriously.

Understatement of the year.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Ooooooooffffff coooooooouuuuuuuuurrrrrrrsssssseeeee, beeeecaaaaaaaaaauuuussssseeee taaaaalllkiiiinnnnnnnng liiikeeee thiiiiis iiiiis reeeeaaaaallly ooooooffeeeeeensssssssiiiiiiiiveeeee.

[Eddy]

I also can't believe how much of a shitstorm Derpy caused. Not the "holy crap I can't believe Derpy is canon" shitstorm because honestly it was pretty awesome, but the "Derpy is offensive and a mockery of the mentally disabled" shitstorm. Did these people freak out over characters like Ed? Or Pinky? Or Patrick?

If people were honestly offended by Derpy they were looking way too into things. It's also worth noting that writer of said episode, Amy Keating Rogers, has a son who is mentally disabled. So, yeah, I don't think she would mock something so close to home for her.

[Daxdiv]

Looking back, the only hilarious thing about the Derpy situation is that Tabitha St. Germaine thought that Derpy was supposed to have a penis. Well, that does explain why the voice felt like a grown woman trying to do a young boy's voice, like other voices in this industry.

[Nel_Annette]

Funny how the morning I get my "Have a Derpy day!" t-shirt I saw that all that drama had popped up on Equestria Daily. o.o;

[Mr. Big]

I have to say, I enjoyed the latest episode. Some really funny Dash moments (Ninja Dash kills it)

I'm really looking forward to the next one, though. Big Macintosh finally gets an episode!
