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.

	Watch her she probably will. She thought the critique of Avatar was equivalent to the subject matter of Schindler's List. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You know what's disappointing? Going to an amusement park (say, Universal Studios) at night (say, for Halloween Horror Nights) and seeing glowy drinks on offer, buying one, and discovering that the glow comes from a light in the bottom of the cup. Thus, there will be no hopeful experimentation in the hotel room toilet when the evening is over. That's disappointing. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"You think this is amazing, huh? You think this is great? You should try sleeping like this. Or going to a movie. And God forbid you should get a little, you know, excited, 'cause everyone knows about it, with your ... all lit up like a [stream of Yiddish] neon sign!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Is she the one who thought Thor was anti-Semitic because of "Jotenheim" or was that someone else? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Would you happen to have a link for that? I went hunting and couldn't find it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seconded. I'm trying to imagine how that would work, and I really can't imagine how one could relate the two. (Reply to this)(Parent)
