Lessons from bronies: Removing ableist stereotypes is intolerant!
Remember the backlash when an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic portrayed fan-favorite Ditzy/"Derpy" as "humorously" mentally challenged? Well, the concerns were heard, and the voice changed!

Aaaaand now some bronies are crying "ruined FOREVER!". To the tune of "not liking our insensitivity is intolerant!"

So, everyone who can now watch the clip without cringeing, you're harshing someone's squee, and that's terrible.

Ok, yeah, that's a fair enough point about old tropes.

But now that it's been "fixed", we'll never get a future episode like the one you suggested because there's no disabled pony.

She was never disabled. She was never anything, just a background pony with error-drawn eyes who got surprisingly popular.
