sandglass said, You didn't think anarchicq was bad enough, huh? Wanted to bookend the comments with, "But no disabled people were really upset! It's all white knights!"?

And then you said, I didn't say "every" anywhere in my original question, and you must've missed my follow up to my own post.

sandglass didn't say "every" either. And your follow up was a bullshit fauxpology.

The bigger fact, though, was enough other dis/differently-abled people and their friends/family didn't.

Again with "enough people" being offended. Oy.

I have said several times now that those people with disabilities who find this offensive are more important than those who don't care or who support the character.

No. Just no. No one person or group of people is more important than any other. This is not a numbers game, okay? One reasonable person being offended is too many.

I said it was good that Hasbro fixed it.

Hasbro neither needs nor wants your approval. We don't either.

I said I didn't have a full understanding of how people felt or the actual problems with the character because I've never seen the show or character.

You don't need to see the show to know that they portrayal of the character was ableist. Her name alone is a big neon clue.

I said I was wrong once I saw what was actually going on. I'm sorry I didn't understand better from the beginning and I'm sorry I have hurt people because of it.

Great. But by this point, you've dug that hole so deep I'm not sure anyone believes you're actually sorry. Sorry we're calling you on it, sure. But sorry you said it, I don't know. Let me know?

Do we want to encourage people to rethink this whole Derpy situation as I did and come to the right conclusion or do we want to tell them once they've offended you, they will always be an irredeemable asshole who can never be a decent human being?

We keep treating you like an asshole because you keep acting like one!

Oh, and it's good to see people read my own reply to my post before anyone else read what I wrote, and saw that after seeing more replies show up after mine, I saw that what ended up happening was a good thing, but we can't have "the enemy" realize that sort of thing and accept that they've realized it.

Get it straight. You are not "the enemy." You are "the jerk." We've read what you written; we just don't think it's sincere. You don't seem to have changed your mind on the subject so much as realized that you are outnumbered and would likely be dogpiled for jerkish behavior. The preemptive fauxpology did not help.

If you want to be educated, Google ableism and then read Derailing for Dummies. Next time, don't do anything you find at that link.
