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.

You know that "erasure" thing that anarchicq and you are getting all high horse-y about?

YOU ARE BOTH DOING IT.

Oh no, no disabled people right here on this post are saying they had problems with the ableism. Nope. We don't exist.

If it's so very important to you that a fan-created ableist-named cartoon pony isn't "erased" that you're ignoring actual human beings in order to be oh-so-logical and calm and ordering us how to speak to you, you have a big fucking problem.

It was extremely clear from my post that I was a secret brony. 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. It's always too late for anyone to come to a better conclusion and support your side because then we run out of people we can actually get a virtual grip around their throats and throttle them for initially saying things we disagreed with.

Why don't you just admit that you were wrong, or that you worded things wrong, and stop trying to play the victim? You're only digging your grave deeper by doing this.

What's with the implied accusation that I claimed you were a brony? You may as well have tried to imply I was accusing you of being an Illuminati, there's about as much evidence.

I saw your reply to your post. It was a "sorry if I offended anyone" fauxpology. You followed it by whining about how there weren't "hundreds of replies" when you first posted -- which was possibly technically true, since maybe there were just under 200 and now there are over 200. There were plenty of people, including me, who posted that they were disabled and offended before you swanned in here acting like we were invisible and ordering us to respond to you in a certain way. My disability doesn't make me unable to read timestamps.

Just. Stop.

Again I invite you to take all your playing the victim replies and shove it straight up your ass.
