Stop using the R-word. The major problem is the characters name being Derpy which is an offensive way to describe somebody who is mentally challenged. The character just being a klutz is a good solution to this problem along with the name change to "Ditzy Doo." This is an over PC'ing issue. It is an issue of common decency. I know alot about this issue cause some idiot on the Stro chat is obsessed with the show.

That African American comment is insane. The traits that "Derpy" showed weren't really characteristics of what people with down syndrome go through. They were just offensive generalizing. The name of the character is the major problem which steers people to think the character's actions were that of somebody with down syndrome.

Did you mean it isn't a PC issue?

Regardless, that's what "PC" means these days: Don't be a dick. That's what people rage against.

I dont think they were being "dicks", it was just harmless fun. Its not like the character was name "Tard". I think the creators recognize that the show's popular with young adults online and included a word commonly used online (derp derp!).

Then the Whaaambulance started from the PC crowd, and we have yet pointless neutering.
