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 saw a post linked by a friend (who I know was just being oblivious to the ableism because I pointed it out and she agreed and apologized) which was contained a quote from Lao Tzu about depression being caused living in the past and anxiety being caused by living in the future. A lot of people in the comments were agreeing with it. Fuck that shit. I have anxiety and depression because I have a MOOD disorder. It has nothing to do with my past life/lives.

I'm glad that none of my new age friends fit this mold or I would drop them like a hot brick.
