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.

I'm glad. I haven't watched that episode, and I think that may be the episode that stopped me cold. They did a terrible, cruel thing with Ditzy, and I think it really signaled some of the more and more heartless things that have been coming up in the show. I still don't think I feel comfortable watching it any more, but at least helps.

...I did like the clip I heard of her voice, though. It was sort of rough and soothing (if that makes any sense), and I think that if there hadn't been shit piled on top of shit, it would have been a really neat contrast to the peppy voices of the rest of the cast. It wasn't, though, it was the icing on the goddamn failcake.
