Now before anyone accuses me of something, I just want to say right now that this picture is NOT directed at Hasbro, WeLoveFine, iTunes, or Studio B, this is directed at whoever has been sending these nasty emails to those companies complaining about Derpy's recent character portrayal in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.

To whoever you people are, you really need to calm the hay down.....seriously. I have seen mentally handicapped people many times in my life before, they sit near me and my family every Sunday in church and I've been in high school classes with some in the past. Derpy and looked NOTHING like any of them, therefore, she is not some kind of hateful propaganda designed to taunt them like you think she is. If you want to change her name or have her taken out of the show, you might as well do the same to the other numerous cartoon characters that are clumsy and not very bright.

Now I will not say anything in offense to the companies because we still have yet to hear from them on their say with Derpy's future. Remember, Hasbro didn't come up with Derpy in the show, Studio B did and I highly doubt that they will take her away since they love her and love us bronies and wouldn't want to do that. We cannot be so hateful and rude to these companies guys, this is not their fault!

So that's why I'm asking you all to be as peaceful about this as you can possibly be and not send any complaints to them about "having Derpy's name removed" and junk. We can send them calm emails though telling them to disregard the hatemail they've been getting. I assure you this will all die down in the end. Just remember that this picture is only meant for anyone who is very sensitive about Derpy and is mean to get a point across to them, NOT the companies.

And as for Derpy..........I really hope this whole thing does die soon and she can stay. I absolutely loved how she was in Last Roundup and I can't wait to see more of her! I hope they make an episode someday about Derpy where everyone learns to accept her for who she is and that she's not stupid, retarded, or mental........she's just a bit clumsy, not very bright and misunderstood.

Still one of the most powerful and thought provoking pieces in the Save Derpy series of MLP art. I feel that art from this time will hold a special place in the hearts of the fans since this time like no other showed us just how fragile our world is yet how strong we as whole can be.

I'm going to be completely honest with this critique so please be honest with yourself when viewing it.

This piece lacks Originality but only because it's a piece driven by a mass reaction which spawned thousands of similar pieces.

As far as technique goes this piece is technically perfect in my eyes since the following Impact has caused me to cry and feel emotions that go far beyond liking a character or a show. This piece made me hurt inside for Derpy as a person. By person I mean a pony with thoughts and feelings equal to my own.

I'm not sure what is meant by Vision but I have to say the artists vision of Derpy and how she thinks and feels matches my own so I guess that means the vision is flawless.

I actually hope this piece sticks around in the future as a reminder to just how close we came to losing a loving character before she even had a chance to become a mother on the screen.

It really iritates me that people think that Derpy is offensive. I've wanted to hear her speak for the longest time, and to be honest, when she did, it wasn't what I was expecting. But I wouldn't call her retarded or offensive.

She makes people laugh when she does something, like the time she dropped an anvil on Twilight's head, or when she dragged Rainbow Dash through the hole in the ground she made. Not only does she make us laugh, but she lets us think about how we have made mistakes, and can try to find ways to make up for them, and maybe stop from making mistakes in the future.

Ever sense that animation error, she has grown more popularity than any video game or cartoon character I have ever seen. She has become more popular than Sonic, Homer Simpson, Mickey mouse, and might just pass Mario, and she even continues to grow in popularity and in peoples hearts, which is really hard to come by with other characters these days.

I love Derpy, I love her as much as I love Fluttershy. Her antics always give me nostalgic memories of ed edd n eddy and the three stooges, and if I had a chance to hug the poor soul, I would, and then I would live with her, so I can tell her how much I love her before she took her daughter to school and start her mail routes, and once they come home I would have a fresh tray of muffins ready for them.

Derpy diserves all the love the fans give her, she doesn't diserve the hate most people have given her. I honestly hope she gets her own episodes in the future, and the people who think she's offensive will understand what Derp really means.

But onto the picture, it gets an automatic five. The design of Derpy is perfect, the text is amazing, and the lightning really fits the mood. Great job.

You're basically asking for millions of innocent good people to die and the stamps in your favorite certainly prove right away that you're a brony-hater. If you're going to troll people and try to be funny, you're not trying very hard, now go be a heartless dick somewhere else.
