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.

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.
