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 gonna start straight off that I want her to keep the eye. The eye is neat.

But the rest of it, the voice, the name, no. That was unacceptable, and if they were pandering to the people about the name in the first place, I really truly doubt you would have ever gotten that episode.

Sorry for misunderstanding the gay thing, though. I took it to mean the whole issue.

I'm not gonna speak for Sandglass. But from the perspective of the guy who's already in a bad mood over this (too many rape threats for one morning) it looked a lot like... actually, nevermind. I'm sleepy and I'm just gonna fall over my own tongue. I did like what Zoom said though! His comments made sense to me.
