Description
I was going to upload this tomorrow, but this clip was brought to my attention what Hasbro decided to do about Derpy, and I had to state my opinion about it:[link]
now, like most Bronies, I'm not a big fan of this new voice, nor do I think this was necessary to change what they changed on Derpy. she was a charming nod to the Brony community, and could have been an interesting character.
and for what reason did they change her? because she was offensive to people who were mentally disabled? I know mentally disabled people (a couple of friends and 3 BROTHERS to be exact), and they would not find Derpy offensive or insulting in the slightest. she's just clumsy and has an eye condition, that's all. I don't see anything wrong or offensive about CHARACTER FLAWS. Hell, her clumsiness would have actually related with some people. if this is so offensive, you might as well erase Goofy from existence as well. :/ though I'm aware that this isn't entirely Hasbro's fault, and more towards the idiotic soccer moms who think anything resembling a specific group of people would offend said group, or that anything not considered "normal" would damage the minds of their little girls. XC
case in point, Derpy is not offensive, she just has flaws. everyone has flaws. it's what makes them likable characters. the changes were not necessary. period.
anywayz, back to the pic.
the recent controversy regarding Derpy has a striking resemblance to what happens in the Disney adaptation of Mulan; both have their chances to shine and use the chance to be themselves (or clumsy XP), which causes major controversy around their community. I tried a different lineless style for this pic. :b not really my best style, but it was worth a try. X3 and yes, the un-derped in the reflection is totally intentional.
so tell me, bronies: when will her reflection show who she is inside?

There really needs to be more pictures of Derpy cosplaying as Mulan!Β Good job with the picture by the way.
By the way, there is one to come. I just don't know whenΒ but it should be really pretty judging by the latest Pony princess cosplay doggie31.deviantart.com/art/Thβ¦Β .

Aaaaaaaaaaah, I hate this while thing about Derpy and this political correct stuff. I mean, do they really think that her characteristic are that offensive to people? She wasn't all that bright, and was clumsy.
Also, now it's just a bad stereotype of the " dum blonde" from what that edit shows. How's that any better?
But yeah. Awesome work, man. This is pretty deep! Also, I love the Mulan movies. The sequel was okay, but the first was amazing!
Great job!

I'm mentally impaired(Asperger's) and I am in no way offended by Derpy. Might as well eliminate all clumsy characters then.

Ohey that looks pretty neat man.
I barely remember Mulan, so I'm gonna say this looks spot on :b
I too feel dissapointed about the underping of Derpy.
